As a long-time Castlevania fan, I have seen the series evolve and have its fair share of ups and downs. For me, the best eras the franchise has ever known are the early 8 and 16-bit titles. Granted, 1997’s Symphony…

The first thing to bear in mind when picking up R-Type Tactics I+II Cosmos is the fact that the game does absolutely no handholding. You will begin the game, be given mission objectives, and a list of units, and you have to figure it out. There is a comprehensive manual and an Archives section, which are indispensable for getting anywhere in this game. This is the type of game that asks a lot of a player up front, but rewards them for making the time investment with a very rich, very intricate tactical RPG.

After finishing the R-Type Delta HD Boosted review, I was asked if I had any interest in checking out R-Type Dimensions III. This is most certainly something I was interested in looking at, since it is a remake of what…

This is a review that I wasn’t actually expecting to write. I mentioned in passing to our editor that I was interested in Forza Horizon 6, but sort of forgot about it amid a whole lot of other unrelated stuff in my life. Well, a couple of weeks back, I got a DM with a Steam code, and here we are now.

I was made aware of Titanium Court when a colleague posted a link to the trailer earlier this year. It was a most intriguing presentation, one which extolled the myriad reasons why no one should even consider playing the game. Thus, as I sit in my home office ruminating over my final verdict for this most unique of releases, it seems only proper to also evaluate the claims made in the video and verify their validity.

In 1995, a small studio from Milan took a risk, trying to bring a fast, well-playing Ridge Racer-inspired game to the PC. Screamer was the result, and it launched a franchise that earned itself a loyal fanbase. The series evolved with the technology of the day, adopting early 3D acceleration to achieve a smooth framerate. It went from pure road racing to rally and off-road, looking poised to become something long-lived. But publisher Virgin Interactive fell on hard times; the IP was sold off, bounced between companies, and became entangled in red tape before going dormant for nearly two decades.

This review should have been in over a week ago, but some odd circumstances, which I mentioned in my review-in-progress, kept that from happening. The good news is that the team at Enhance/Monstars were finally able to reproduce the issue I was having and figure out how to fix it. The better news is, if they’re willing to go to that effort for a bug that I would be pretty confident in saying only I have ever managed to trigger in gameplay, is a great sign for how much they care about what they’re making.

R-Type Delta HD Boosted is a great game. It’s still the same brutal, unapologetic, and dark-as-hell shooter that came out back in the day. But now it’s here to torment you on your modern systems.

This was meant to be a full review of Lumines Arise, but an issue that cropped up on the PC version of the game has delayed the full, scored piece. That said, I have played enough of the game to…
