Void Bastards
I knew next to nothing about Void Bastards until about a week ago when the COGconnected Overlord asked me to review it. I’d seen the comic book styled art and read the brief description that suggested it was inspired by Bioshock (one of the best first-person shooters ever), but I...
Fans of puzzle games probably don’t need much of an introduction to the Puyo Puyo series, as it’s probably one of the most popular puzzle franchises that aren’t Tetris. Personally, my first Puyo Puyo experience was Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine – the American version of Puyo Puyo from the...
Deponia
Nintendo Switch owners are getting yet another port. Introducing Deponia, a beloved point-and-click adventure that PC gamers have been enjoying for almost a decade. Featuring a fully voiced cast of wacky characters, beautifully hand-drawn visuals, and challenging puzzles. If you’re itching for a humorous journey that’ll make you think –...
Let’s face it, eventually, some species of extraterrestrials are going to arrive at our planet and start kicking our collective asses. Some of us might die during the first wave of attacks – victims of unfortunate circumstances, just not seeing it coming. Then there will be those of us who...
This past week I had the pleasure of playing the latest from developer Artifex Mundi, My Brother Rabbit. Artifex Mundi games follow a very particular formula – beautifully, hand-drawn areas where players must find hidden objects and solve puzzles to proceed. Generally, these games feature a fantasy, almost fairy-tale like,...
Danger Zone 2
Last year, we reviewed a fun, albeit flawed, Burnout-style game called Danger Zone that was developed by Three Fields Entertainment. Three Fields Entertainment was actually founded by ex-members of Criterion Games, the studio that made those great Burnout games. So in many ways, Danger Zone was a spiritual successor to Burnout....
Rogue Aces
Aspiring air pilots, its time to take to the skies with a brand new, 2D air combat game for your Nintendo Switch, Rogue Aces. You’ll join the ranks of the green army, led by your wise-cracking commanding officer, and fight wave are wave against the brutal orange army. Fans of...
The Urban Trial franchise makes its console debut on the Nintendo Switch with Urban Trial Playground. Urban Trial Playground is a 2.5D, side-scrolling stunt racer game, much like Ubisoft’s beloved Trials franchise. This iteration, the third in the Urban Trial franchise, moves the action to the neighborhoods of beautiful California. There’s...
Nintendo’s beloved pink blob Kirby is making quite the debut on Nintendo Switch with Kirby Star Allies. While Kirby’s recent handheld adventures, like Kirby: Planet Robobot have been great, the last couple console outings, like the Wii U’s Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, have been pretty disappointing. Fortunately, that changes with Kirby...
Baseball Riot
Another day, another Nintendo Switch port. This time around, we’ve got the 2-year-old game, Baseball Riot, from 10tons Ltd. arriving on Nintendo’s latest console. In fact, you might recall that we reviewed Baseball Riot for Xbox One last year and was less than impressed. If you’ve played previous ports of...
Steep: Road to the Olympics is based on the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics taking place in PyeongChang, South Korea. Ubisoft has decided to narrow the focus of this Winter Olympics game to 12 events featuring Snowboarding and Skiing. While that means we won’t get any skating, bobsledding or curling (sorry,...
Microsoft Studios is re-releasing a trio of Xbox 360 games that were released over five years ago, including Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure. Originally, Rush was a Kinect-only title, but this port provides support for the Xbox One controller. In addition, Microsoft has bumped up the game’s resolution substantially to...
