Dinosaurs can be considered many things: fascinating, prehistoric, even frightening! To some though, there’s nothing cuter than a dino. That’s obviously how the development team behind Amber Isle, Ambertail Games, feels about them, because they’ve gone out and released a game that features a plethora of precious “paleofolk” to entice to your island through the creation of a burgeoning shopping empire and a blossoming town, appropriately named “Amber Isle.” Suffice it to say but if you’re thinking that sounds a lot like Animal Crossing but with dinosaurs, you’re correct. But also, you’re probably not disappointed. I sure wasn’t, and I have so far enjoyed a lot of my time with the game.

Ever have a game come along that slips under your radar and ends up being one of the most fun games you’ve ever played? That’s what happened to me with Vampire Hunters; a game I recall seeing one trailer for and not hearing anything else until it was released and let me tell you something. Of all the FPS I’ve played, this one might be one of the best ones in a while.

I’m not the biggest fan of modern horror cinema. Sure, every so often, I watch one and I do enjoy it, like Tucker And Dale VS Evil and, surprisingly, Halloween Ends. But, most, if not all, of modern horror cinema I tend to avoid as I’m just not the biggest fan of how many horror films are going for the over the top gore and cheap, telegraphed jumpscares. In fact, I tend to gravitate towards classic horror and the more comedic ones, like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Same goes with horror games as I usually tend to gravitate towards games like the Resident Evil series or the 2017 version of Prey, a game which I will always defend and I feel is better then the 2006 original. Anyway, this is where the 2018 movie A Quiet Place comes into the picture. Now, I have never seen any of the films yet, but I do know of them and have seen various clips of them, so I do have a bit of knowledge of them. Yet, it was also one franchise I never thought a game adaptation could work and yet? Here we are with A Quiet Place: Road Ahead, a game that is quite surprisingly one of the better horror games I played in a while.

I remember way back when, waking up on christmas morning and finding out Santa had brought all of my siblings a Playstation 2. To our delight it was hooked up already and sitting there waiting for us was Dragon Ball Z: Budokai. We played it to death and as the series grew we could never keep ourselves away from the newest game. That never stopped and I’m happy to share my review of Dragonball Sparking! Zero, a continuation of the Dragonball Budokai series.

I have always loved inviting friends over to play silly platformer games like N++, Rayman Legends, Super Mario Bros. games, and the like. Of course, I also have played my fair share of mobile phone games. So a game like “Crossy Road Castle”, developed by Hipster Whale, piqued my interest quickly when I saw it was coming to consoles. I was able to get my hooves on a review copy, and I’ve spent quite a few hours exploring the procedurally-generated floors of the various castles with my wife in local couch co-op, and I’m relieved to say it didn’t let me (or her!) down!
