There’s a lot to appreciate about devs who try to do different things in and with video games. I’m all about innovation, but there are some situations where it’s best to stay in your own lane and try not to…

Pokémon Legends: Z-A balances two separate — and often competing — concepts while giving the same fun experience that the series has delivered for decades now. In some ways, it feels like one of the best evolutions of the series since…

Mortal Kombat has been, and continues to be, an iconic franchise in the fighting game space. While opinions about it vary, it’s hard to deny the cultural landmark that it has become. With the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, Atari, Digital…

When I first tried out Katamari Damacy: REROLL as a Nintendo Switch Online game trial, I immediately fell in love with the series. The act of just rolling up everything around you into a giant ball is just cathartic, and…

Double Dragon Revive isn’t a terrible game. It’s good, but it’s brought down by the platforming sections. It’s not that they are impossible. It’s merely that they take away from what you really want to be doing, fighting bad guys.

When Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake was released last year, despite some age-old features modern gamers might find outdated, it still offered an exquisite and fresh take that made it the definitive way to play the game.

There’s still plenty of work to be done with Halo: Campaign Evolved, but I also look forward to the series hopefully entertaining new fans now that the series is no longer an Xbox-exclusive.

Bounty Star has a good concept, and it has potential, but the end product as it stands now just doesn’t measure up. It’ll take some serious tune ups before I’m willing to ride into this desert again.

I liked Full Metal Schoolgirl overall, but its large consequences for dying during the campaign, the uselessness of many of its weapons, and general jank will deter a lot of potential players. But if lady androids demolishing hundreds of robots sounds great to you, it’s still worth a look.

After nearly 16 and a half years of being one of the best games ever made, Plants vs. Zombies is back on modern platforms as Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted to hopefully shine in 2025. I have extensive history with the…

I have to start this out by saying I’ve re-written this review six times. I’ve had so many thoughts over the last 10+ days with this game that I have continued to write, re-write, start over and repeat the process…
