The name Captain Tsubasa might not be that famous if you grew up in the US as well as some other countries. But if you, like me, grew up in Latin America, then you know it and probably love it. This long-running manga and anime franchise was an absolute hit...

A lot of you may have never heard of Tamarin prior to its release, but I was looking forward to it for almost a year. The moment I saw its first trailer, I was instantly craving for it. Not only is the game developed by a bunch of former Rare...

Bounty Battle was initially unveiled a few months ago, and it surprised the hell out of me. It had one of the coolest premises I have seen in a while: a Super Smash Bros-inspired party brawler with a roster comprised solely of characters from famous indie franchises. What a stroke...

Ever since Limbo came out ten years ago, the indie scene started to be flooded with a very specific subgenre I like to call the “depressive art platformer”. It’s a type of game that uses the basis of puzzle platformers in order to tell a usually depressing and tense story...

One of my fondest and earliest gaming memories back in my childhood was going to the local arcade parlor to play some classic racing cabinets such as Virtua Racing, Daytona USA, and Ridge Racer. I lament that this kind of racing game is pretty much extinct nowadays: fast-paced, with simple...

I knew right from the get-go that NBA 2K21 would hardly be able to impress me. Considering the current global situation, with the COVID-19 pandemic halting game development processes AND sports leagues all over the world, I was aware that the game would, at best, feature one or two new...

For as much as I was looking forward to the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, I was also worried. This is Activision we’re talking about. I hadn’t forgotten about the nuclear disaster that ended up being Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. I was worried this new remake was...

I was positively surprised with last year’s WRC 8, as you may recall. The franchise had never been that impressive up to that point, being largely considered an inferior competitor when compared to the likes of Codemasters’ Dirt series, but WRC 8 was a turning point. Kylotonn took their time,...

Given the juggernaut success that is the Pokémon franchise, you would far more developers would try to create their own knockoff to try to capitalize on Pikachu’s success. Sure, we’ve had games like Monster Rancher and the Digimon Story franchise. However, they’ve done a pretty good job at trying to...

When I first read about Marvelous and XSEED’s Kandagawa Jet Girls game, I shivered. The reason was simple, this game was created by the same people behind the Senran Kagura titles. I’ve had a brief experience with this franchise and oh boy I wish I hadn’t. Both games I played,...

Samurai Jack is one of those shows that was destined to become a cult classic the second the pilot episode was aired. It was completely different from anything else being showcased on Cartoon Network at the time. It featured a distinct art style, a big emphasis on stylish cuts, and...

With the exception of the very niche (and very underwhelming) Tour de France games, and the copious hours spent burning CJ’s calories in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, I don’t think I can remember of any other cycling game being released over the past two decades or so. That changed...
