Open Country (Xbox) – Review

Sometimes when reviewing any game, you can fall into this pit of anger or displeasure, and sometimes it is best to put space between you and the review before it goes out. The trouble there is forgetting about it. Later this week…

Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality (XBO) – Review

The winner for the most obvious opening line in a review in 2021, goes to: “You might have heard this about me, but I like Doctor Who.” So when I say that a Doctor Who game, a 3D fully realized adventure specifically,…

Moonglow Bay (XBO) – Review

A quick bit of a story before we get to the review: On the 4th of July, I went fishing for the first time in years after only doing some fly fishing at school. I spent about 2-hours out on this boat…

Crysis Remastered Trilogy (XBO) Review

I like games where one of the main enemies are the North Koreans. I don’t know why, I think it all started with Homefront because it was different. It was unusual to see a version of America that wasn’t an ungodly superpower.…

Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition (XBO) – Review

Phoenix Point is a turn-based tactics game from Julian Gollop’s studio Snapshot Games, about grotesque alien lifeforms invading our little rock. I wonder what comparison I am going to draw on here? The guy is the mind behind easily one of the…

Sable (Xbox One) – Review

Sable is a game I’ve been keeping an eye on since E3 2018, I think? If there was ever anything good that came from the PC Gaming Show, it was Frankie’s joke about Maneater and Sable‘s gorgeous art direction. I may be talking about the former…

NBA 2K22 (XBO) – Review

It is not very often I get to say this, but I get to review a sports game of a sport I can actually play. Gym class for me most of the time was either getting to play Wii Tennis, Bowling, or…

Bus Simulator 21 (XBO) – Review

What was it that James May said about driving a bus? “Easiest thing I’ve ever done […] it’s easier actually [than sitting on a sofa], ’cause you are not being filmed. So you can have a joint.” He was right, there isn’t an easier job or…

Hades (XBO) – Review

What can I say? Hades is a game of the year contender in a year packed with The Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Doom Eternal, Cyberpunk 2077, a Resident Evil 3 remaster, and several others. Some aren’t bad, some were just disheartening, and others were just…

King’s Bounty 2 (XBO) – Review

There is a reason something like Grand Theft Auto or Skyrim takes several years and thousands of developers to be sufficiently developed. Announced back in 2019, King’s Bounty 2 is a full-blown sequel to the 1990 game King’s Bounty; A turn-based fantasy game that looks (in retrospect) like a…
