Trine 4 (Switch) Review

When I first started dabbling in PC gaming, my options were limited. I was working with a good-not-great HP laptop, and I found a lot of the things I wanted to play just weren’t going to happen. Browsing Steam for great games…

Aeternoblade II (Switch) Review

The original Aeternoblade was a game I always had my eye on, but never quite had the desire to pick up for myself. At the risk of sounding like a bit of a snob, I tend to focus my purchases on things…

Frostpunk (XBO) – Review

I am a villain. No, really; the first thing I did when I was given the option to enact a new law in the frozen tundra of my new city was child labor. Tropico 6, you might have all that humor business…

Super Mario Party (Switch) Review

For a while, the Mario Party franchise was considered to be in a rut. Mario Party 9 changed the franchise’s formula of characters running all over the board for stars, to everyone moving in the same car set down a nearly linear…

BurgerTime Party! Review

Great arcade games usually have a simple premise. Pac-Man literally eats little dots. Donkey Kong asked you to just not get hit with things. Data East’s 1982 game BurgerTime had a simple premise: make a burger, and avoid enemies. Now, some 37 years later, a new BurgerTime game…

GRID 2019 (XBO) – Review

The tires are like the howl of the hounds of hell, the roar of the engine is like a lion in your heart and the handling? Well, that’s a thing I’m not a huge fan of. I love driving games, specifically racing…

F*ck Yeah, Video Games: By Daniel Hardcastle – Review

(Warning: Under our site’s rules we do not allow profanity or swearing of any kind. That makes the review of a book with a very strong expletive in the title hard to write about. The article title is the only reference to…

MGS V: The Phantom Pain (XBO) – Review

(WARNING: The following review contains spoilers for the game being reviewed. It goes without saying; if you do not want spoilers this may not be the review for you.) Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima’s masterpiece and the thing that propelled him into…
