Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition—the remastered version of Westwood Studios’ original 1997 adventure game—arrived on the Switch back in June. This review is of a recently updated version that patched some reported bugs and issues. Sadly, it didn’t patch enough.Read More
Finally, we got to talk about a game where you’re a space-faring dragonfly creature that shoots energy bullets and eats obstacles. What else could it be but Yars' Revenge, reborn as Yars: Recharged?Read More
Lamplight City
Welcome to the adventure puzzle game Lamplight City. We don’t know the population of this Victorian-era town with a steampunk vibe, but we do know some of the residents are definitely up to something. Read More
Don’t worry, participation in this particular riot is OK. Today, it’s a Samurai Riot. Specifically, it's Samurai Riot Definitive Edition a mostly 2D, side-scrolling beat-‘em-up that's built to scratch that arcade action itch.Read More
The unquiet dead are back and you must set things aright. It’s a tall order, I know, but we all have faith you can do it in this RPG action platformer. After all, you have your trusty sword and a can-do attitude!Read More
When first checking out Aztech Forgotten Gods, I was pleased to see the theme centered on a version of the Aztec empire which didn’t involve certain foreigners coming in and wrecking up the joint. I’m sorry to say, however, that this review is not a happy one.Read More

Shadowverse: Champion’s Battle is a turn-based card strategy game. A really well-done card battle game. You get the usual mechanics, but how Shadowverse goes about utilizing them is quite clever.Read More
Unavowed
Unavowed is a bit dark and includes some crude imagery and language, and there are a lot of “shades of gray” versus obvious black and white / good versus evil interactions. Is it worth finding your way through this retro adventure/puzzle game from Wadjet Eye?Read More
Crash Drive 3
As a single player game, the arcade racer Crash Drive 3 can feel a bit empty. But it’ll very likely be a real hoot for the kids who just want to explore and goof around. As a multiplayer game, it can be a free-for-all blast.Read More
I did not play Destroy All Humans on its initial release, and thought maybe it was a twist on Destroy All Monsters. Not quite. If you have not been exposed to this game before, it's a 1950s “little green men from Mars” coming to kill us all sort of thing...and...
