Game Reviews

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was a game changer. It, along with the Metroid series, helped coin the term Metroidvania, which is now a way gamers will refer to games from Cave Story to Guacamelee to Axiom Verge. The formula has proven...

I love the desperate last stand. It is the adrenaline rush of desperation cranked all the way up to 11. The ultimate stakes have been raised and your life is laid down on the line...

Dumb Chicken 2 has some big aspirations and it manages to be a decent game in all honesty. There are just some things that hold it back from being as great as it could be...

In a world where everyone wants to be represented fairly in movies, gaming and even novels (yeah, there’s been cases of that before) we do tend to forget that there are some who don’t have...

Plenty of games have been made with bird protagonists: Angry Birds, Banjo Kazooie, Animal Crossing and the Star Fox series just to name a few. Never before have I seen a robotic flamingo take on other avian...

When a powerful civilization collapses, a vacuum of power and influence is left behind. What does that do to the civilizations that come next? What happens when all that is left are echoes of what...

What once started out as part of the exclusive Capcom 5 deal on Nintendo's GameCube has become one of the most ported games ever. Resident Evil 4 started out as a GameCube only title in...

Zombies aren't scary, at least, not anymore. A few years ago, when pop culture was at its zombiest, they were on every TV, movie, book, cell phone and bumper sticker. You couldn't throw a zombie...

Trenches, confusion, and the color brown: my three first impressions within the first three minutes of the World War I based Verdun. Historically, the Battle of Verdun was the longest Battle in WWI, fought over...

For me, some games are a pickle to describe why I love them so dearly. I must have written this introduction in my head twenty times, each time trying to find a way to describe...

After I saw Insomniac's Spiderman game preview at E3 I was instantly excited for everything about that game, except for that costume; let's hope that white spot was just someone forgetting to add blue. So,...

I was interested in checking this game out the second I saw the trailer just by how much fun it looked like it was going to be. It reminded me of Super Meat Boy but...

Welcome to Retro Review Friday! Be sure to stop by BagoGames each Friday and join us as we dive into the vault and take a look back at a Retro game! I loved Dragon Ball Z....

Disclaimer: Not everyone is a racing game fanatic. If you are, you're probably already aware of this game or own it already. This review is authored by a more casual fan and is directed at...

I have always wanted to get into anime, but I never had the time nor the money to really dive into that hobby. A few years ago I heard ramblings of a new anime to...

The Go series of games made by Square Enix Montreal have taken the mobile world by storm since 2014 with the release of Hitman Go. The Go series blends puzzle elements with elements of the...

It's nearly impossible to get through Armikrog's opening sequence and keep a huge smile off of your face. Everything about the game from the art to the music to the writing is whimsical and reminiscent...

Deus Ex is a fascinating series\universe in my eyes. Having only played Human Revolution, my knowledge is sparse, but I've experienced enough to appreciate what the franchise has created. However, I was quite a bit younger when...

If you've ever been a fan of the Worms franchise, you'll know that it's difficult to deny the game's quirkiness and insanity. The franchise has been a constant in the video game industry for over...

Alone with You comes with a lot of promise. Benjamin Rivers proved himself with Home, the imaginative indie horror experience, so his next project is hotly anticipated. The game's premise is unique: As the lone survivor...

A classic series has for the first time joined the 3D fighting game era, and its first outing is well made. Interesting characters, an in-depth training mode, and a plentiful amount of modes gives The...

Kholat is not necessarily original. It’s not a game changer, it’s not unique, it’s not surprising. What it is, however, is a spectacular addition to the wander-and-collect horror genre. Based off the unexplained phenomenon in...

There's a certain sense of world and culture that permeates Moon Hunters, the newest project from young independent studio Kitfox Games. The art style is colorful and guided by a storybook aesthetic, the music is deep...

It seems as though noir detective tales are a big theme for gaming recently. Everyone has their take on it and now we get to see how a cute, cuddly bear with a drinking problem...

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." - Carl Sagan No Man's Sky is finally here, and it has completely divided critics and gamers alike. It feels strange to be writing those words. Since...

I have played a ton of video games over the years. RPGs, visual novels, rhythm games; you name it and I’ve probably dipped my feet in the genre. Never in my life have I seen...
