Starfield’s first expansion is an excellent dive into one of the game’s key pieces of lore.  There are answers to be had and mysteries to be born anew. It is all wrapped up in one of the best ‘looks’ I’ve seen in a video game to date.  For any fan...

Shadows of Doubt should be great.  A lack of variety leads to repetition so quickly that I can’t recommend this 1.0 and console release.  If the devs continue supporting the game with new content, especially something more directed like the tutorial mission, then it could potentially become an indie classic. ...

Also, if you ever interact with the ‘main’ NPC that accompanies you on your journey make sure to stare at the screen each time.  There was one point where he told me how to get to the 2nd main area and I didn’t realize that the game was showing images...

Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 is an amazing, epic ride through a glorious hellscape.  Visceral combat is matched by stunning graphics to create a title that never relents in being as over the top as possible.  It is one of my favorite titles of the year so far, and one...

NBA 2K25 features phenomenal on-court action, every major mode you could hope for, and is one of the prettiest games of all time.  Whether you’re a mtx loving maniac or just looking to shoot some hoops like you’re an all-star it has never been a better time to jump into...

Star Trucker can be as relaxing or sweaty as you like.  While the main story’s writing wasn’t the best it was more than made up for by how solid the rest of the title is.  It looks great, feels damned good to play, and I could see it easily becoming...

The music is nothing but solid bops.  None of it was too memorable but it got me in the mood to grind some monster butts until their skeletons popped out.  There’s not much story, no voice acting, and I think the game is better for it.  A recent port on...

As far as bugs or issues with the game go I didn’t have any major bugs but I do have some issues.  A few of the biomes feature plants that explode when you get close.  In the first area, they not only deal damage but blind you for ten seconds...

My main issue with the title was the regenerating enemy types that show up later on.  They were not nearly as fun to fight as the main antagonists and I ended up lowering the difficulty to normal to take them head-on. It’s a Play Anywhere game on Xbox, which means...

Bug-wise I had no issues in my time playing. The port felt rock-solid, never having any major issues with how it ran.  I just wish I found it more fun to play.  Launching at $20 it’s not the worst remaster price point.  A playthrough should take most roughly 7 hours...

The game’s soundtrack helps give that sense of a lived-in, surreal noir cityscape.  It sounds like a full-on orchestra with lots of brass, piano, and a grand style that you rarely get in media today (let alone video games). There are two main characters in the game, your detective and...
