Game Reviews

Earlier this month I reviewed Broken Sword 5, which is a sequel in an old school style adventure franchise that I have quite a fondness for.  This week I’ve played The Book of Unwritten Tales...

We can’t move our heads around nowadays without seeing Definitive Editions popping up everywhere. The idea of this now overly used sales concept is to take an existing game and release it on a next gen...

Sometimes you're on your last legs in a game. Your health is blinking at 2%, or in the case of the modern FPS, the screen is so covered in jam that you'd think the enemy...

Mad Max was always a franchise that was ripe for a video game adaptation, with the setting, constant use of explosions, and interesting characters. Its actually what inspired Borderlands and many games like it so...

Tennis is one of those sports that I mostly enjoy when playing it as a video game. The thought to watch or play the sport in real life has never occurred to me. But show me...

Microsoft has had some amazing gems in their games catalog, one of which was announced to be receiving a remake in this newest console generation. That game was Phantom Dust. Released on March 15th, 2005, the action/strategy game was developed...

I feel like time is repeating itself and going backwards. I played DMC: Devil May Cry, Borderlands, and only the other day I played Dishonored on my Xbox One. The strange trend of remastering games...

The Broken Sword game series has been around for quite a while; almost twenty years now actually. After all those years and five entries the game has strayed very little from its point and click...

In a sea of mature rated shooters and heavy narratives, it is refreshing to play an experience like Disney Infinity 3.0. It doesn't take itself seriously, and it is a Disney fan's dream. As one...

One Piece is a beloved anime and is one that naturally translates into the Dynasty Warriors formula. It has large scale battles and lots of nameless soldiers and locations, so it was no surprise that...

This feature is about a horror game for ages 18+: Five Nights At Freddy's has been the talk of the town for quite some time now. Created by Scott Cawthon, it set the world of horror games...

There's something weird about satires on the military, I think. Usually, at least when done by an edgy teenager who confuses satire for just creating a strawman home with strawman, straw-partner, and straw-children, you'll get...

Whether it's the idea of sneaking into secret bases or finding out hushed up secrets, taking on the roll of a spy is as fun as it is mysterious. In Master Spy, you'll take on...

I remember playing Nobunaga's Ambition on the Super Nintendo when I was a kid. A friend warned me of the game's complexity, but I refused to listen. I played and enjoyed it even though I could...

Have you ever wanted a game that combined the 2D sections from Super Mario Galaxy with the difficulty of Super Meat Boy? Then Airscape: The Fall of Gravity is the game for you. The basis...

I'm a huge fan of retro games, seeing that I grew up in the time that is now considered "retro." Luckily I kept a majority of my old games and corresponding systems so I can...

I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Until Dawn since it was first announced as a PlayStation Move title. I wasn’t too excited about the Move integration, but the game itself looked intriguing. I...

Visual novels have found a nice home on the PS Vita. The handheld works well with them because it is very difficult to hold one's attention with a visual novel on a console. Heavy Rain...

At first glance, Volume looks like a very uninspired stealth game. After playing for a while, I enjoy it quite a lot, but there are several issues holding it back from being a fantastic game. Volume...

Back in my childhood, I vaguely remember playing Gauntlet. I liked the variety of characters and the beat-em-up gameplay mechanics. However, nowadays, it feels a bit dated in a world with a higher complexity of...

Physics based games where you play as something you've never played as before seem to be a new trend. Thankfully, so far they've been pretty good, and I Am Bread is no different. It's nice to...

Develop Signal Games continues their Toy Soldiers legacy with the tower defense focused War Chest. On the outside, Toy Soldiers War Chest is rough on the edges with poor graphics on the PlayStation 4 and...

Back to Bed is an exemplary example of indie games that are able to explore unique themes and art styles that break out of the standard AAA molding.  It flaunts a profusely surrealistic tone and art...

While many indie video games base their art direction on the 8-bit or 16-bit style graphics, Adventures of Pip blends the worlds together in both graphics and gameplay mechanics. In Adventures Of Pip, the world focuses on pixels primarily...

The latest addition to the Danganronpa series hit the PS Vita with a bang. I had no idea what I was getting into when I was asked to review this game seeing as I've not...

Beyond Eyes, developed by Tiger & Squid, tells the story of a ten year old girl Rae and her friendship with Nani, a ginger cat. The object of the game is simply to search for...
