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...

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...

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...

Parkitect: Deluxe Edition (Xbox) Review
Write a comment

Way back when I was a young pup, I used to go to Hersheypark every summer and it was a fun experience. Riding the Trailblazer, getting soaked on the Canyon River Rapids, and being whipped around on the Whip, Hersheypark was amazing. But, like most things in life, I ended up growing out of it and stopped going but, deep down, I still enjoyed amusement parks and wouldn’t mind going to one again. The original Roller Coaster Tycoon on PC helped in this regard and I put about who knows how many hours into it, designing my own theme park and creating fun roller coasters. So, when I heard about the console release of ‘Parkitect’, I was excited and I had hoped for another fun roller coaster sim but, alas, this wasn’t meant to be.

Monster Hunter Puzzles: Felyne Isles Review
Write a comment

Pssst Hey, do you like cats? Do you like the Monster Hunter Series? Do you like MOBILE PUZZLE games? Then guess what! Felyne Isles is for you! Your main character is a Felyne that you can customize in SO MANY different outfits that you unlock as you progress through the game. Help other Felynes rebuild and recover the island by completing puzzles (some pretty difficult) and rescue other Felynes in need!

Escape From Ever After: Onboarding Review
Write a comment

I'm not sure if this is the best or worst timing for Escape From Ever After: Onboarding (“Escape” from here on out) with the influx of amazing RPGs coming out. In the past couple of months, we received 2 excellent RPG remakes from Nintendo: Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. I love turn based RPGS, as someone who has lived in the golden age of RPGs (SNES era), I'm happy to see this style of RPG start to become popular and seeing a resurgence in the eyes of the gaming market. However, is this Paper Mario inspired fairytale a page turner, or will it be a better use as a table straightener?

Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora (Xbox) Review
Write a comment

I’ll be honest: I am one of those fans of the first James Cameron’s Avatar movie (as of this writing, I still haven’t seen the sequel yet), although I will admit it’s not a perfect film and I do agree that the story itself wasn’t that memorable. However, that really didn’t bother me as the film was just downright gorgeous to look at and I think the tech behind the film is amazing. But, I haven’t seen or even thought about the series since I last watched the first movie, way back in 12th grade, so when I first heard that Ubisoft was making an Avatar video game, it was one that I just went “Cool” and really didn’t think much of it. Even when it was officially revealed as ‘Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora’, I still was just “Cool” and, again, didn’t think much of it, especially when it was released last year. But, after finally being able to play the game, I have to admit something. This game? Kinda flew under my radar as it’s not a bad game! It’s not perfect or anything and I do have some issues with it but, overall, it’s a surprisingly fun game!

SCHiM Review by Daxel
Write a comment

When I first saw SCHiM peek out of the shadows back in 2021, my interest was immediately piqued by its striking contrast art style and inventive gameplay idea. It’s not hard to see the potential for a game involving jumping from shadow to shadow to reach new locations and objectives, since, well, everything’s got a shadow! It’s a concept that has yet to be explored with this type of whimsy. As the game came into focus over the years, the vibe and feel of SCHiM became more established, blossoming into one that focused on nifty platforming and encouraged interaction with every shadow you came in contact with, all while wrapped in a beautifully colored package that had you hopping smoothly across a Dutch/European-inspired city and countryside. I’m glad to report that after years of waiting, I had the chance to play through SCHiM before its release and was relieved that the unique idea became a really fun reality.
