Let’s be real: When you hear the term ‘Match 3’, your immediate reaction is probably an eye roll, followed by a groan and utterance of “another one?” and I wouldn’t blame you. One look at mobile...

I’m going to freely admit that this was a bit tricky review as the city builder genre was never something I really got deeply invested in. They’re fun games and a nice break from the FPS genre, but...

Picture this: It’s a peaceful day in the city. You’re about to have lunch with friends when suddenly an enemy overwhelms you all with dark spiritual power. That’s the beginning of Atomic Owl. The...

Back in my high school years, me and my friends, whenever we were on the computers, always played whatever game we found on Shockwave or that someone had downloaded and passed around to us, with the...

You don’t often expect the level of world-building and story-crafting woven into games like Back to the Dawn, a gritty, engrossing, and multi-layered RPG game by Metal Head Games that just released...

Every year, there seems to be a game that comes out and does something to really grab gamers attention, to where every developer wants to capitalize on it in their own way; From the many Half-Life...

I said it once and I'll say it again: I love Star Wars, but even I will admit that the series has had some missteps throughout the years. The recent shut down of Star Wars Hunters comes to mind, and...

Every so often, a game comes along that grabs my attention to where I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s not often but it does happen and today’s game is one such game. Not just for how many times I...

I need to make a confession: I have never played an Atlus game before. I’ve certainly heard of them and am familiar with their reputation. It’s hard to exist in the video game space without the name...

Sonic X Shadow Generations Review
Write a comment

Sonic the Hedgehog, a name many know and love. And what a history he has. Much like the loops he speeds through on his way to stop Eggman, Sonic has had a lot of ups and downs. His early days on SEGA consoles solidified his popularity. Then in 1998, he made his first jump to 3D with Sonic Adventure. The early 3D era went well enough until it started going downhill with the divisive Shadow the Hedgehog in 2005 and the disastrous release of Sonic ‘06 a year later. To say ‘06 severely damaged Sonic’s reputation is an understatement. It took years before the Hedgehog recovered and was back on his feet. 5 years later in 2011, Sonic Generations released as a celebration of the Hedgehogs 20th anniversary at the time. 

Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop Review
Write a comment

Out of nowhere, your ship starts to sputter. Your oil is low, your radiation analyzer and tomfoolery modules are on the fritz, and you have to make a quick decision. Luckily, you look on your intergalactic map to see that Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop is within landing distance. You’re able to touch down safely on the platform and are met by a four-eyed “fox where it counts”, who leads you into a coffee shop before getting to work on your ship in need. That’s where you come in, playing that fox guy and helping customers in need so that you can pay R.E.N.T. to your employer before he murders you for being too much of a financial liability. Oh, and what a joy this arrangement is, as Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop is an employment contract I’d sign again and again.

Dungeon Clawler Review
Write a comment

Ahh the joys of arcades. Flashing lights, games of skill and chance, competitive playfulness, and of course, tickets and prizes. With all this goodness going for it, there have been a bevy of arcade-y games released over the years. In fact, arcades are often chock full of virtual machines. Dungeon Clawler takes that formula and merges a loved arcade game with a loved genre, combining a dungeon crawler roguelite with a claw machine. Yes, it is as fun as it sounds.

Cel Damage HD Retro Review
Write a comment

Back in the day, one of the best game genres we had was the Car Combat genre. Games like the Twisted Metal franchise, Interstate ‘76, Vigilante 8 and its sequel 2nd Offense took many hours of lives as we strapped rocket launchers to our vehicles and blew each other up to cheesy rock music. However, for every classic one, we did get some stinkers like Streets Of SimCity or ones that went under the radar and never got the recognition they deserved and this is one of them. Released back on the GameCube, Xbox, and on the PS2 in Europe, Cel Damage had a mixed reception upon release back in the day but, it must’ve had a cult status as, between the years 2014 and 2019, an HD version, appropriately titled Cel Damage HD, released on modern consoles and it’s this version that’ll be the subject of this review. Is it any good or should this be sent to the scrapyard with the others?

Wargroove 2 Review (Xbox)
Write a comment

Your mousey crew lands on Aurania, a land of mystery and potential. What follows is an epic turn-based adventure filled with twists and turns, lots of interpersonal and faction-crossing drama, and plenty of combat. Wargroove 2 follows the events in Aurania 3 years after Queen Mercia and her allies defeated the ancient adversaries and restored peace to Aurania. Now, this team of explorers and researchers (with some formidable fighting skills) seems keen on unearthing forbidden tech that could have catastrophic consequences. Filled with beautiful sprites, luscious maps, and engaging cutscenes, Wargroove 2 turned out to be a great time for pixel-lovers and turn-based aficionados alike.
