Past Cure
Have you seen the trailer for Past Cure? It pulls you in with its antics and promises a game that does the Thriller genre justice. But the question remains: does this indie title from Phantom 8 Studios have what it takes to not only grab hold of it’s generated interest...
Video games in this day and age seem to have an issue implementing couch co-op/versus modes without heavily relying on its online multiplayer mode. Or, in many cases, just going full force with online aspects only to make offline modes nonexistent. This said issue isn’t present in Guilt Battle Arena...
The Station
The Station still rattles around in my head as I sit here a few days after beating it. For such a short game — I finished my playthrough in a mere two hours — there’s a ton of things to address. The derelict station is moody, but not as big...
Disc Jam
Some of the best sports games are the ones that take a real sport, boil it down to its essence, and rebuild it as something totally new. The biggest example of this is Rocket League: soccer with cars. Now, a new contender steps out of early access and is ready...
Fe
Have you ever felt that playing a game was akin to a fantastic dream from your childhood? A dream full of wonder, of spectacle, of fantastic creatures? We as gamers have been given gifts in the form of games that transcend the expected and use their very atmosphere to tell...
Starpoint Gemini Warlords is a space simulation game that combines RPG, strategy, and 4x elements. The game previously released on PC last year and is making its debut on the Xbox One. Developed by the aptly named Little Green Men Games, Starpoint Gemini Warlords is the third title in their...
The Middle Ages has long served as inspiration for RPGs. More often than not that inspiration has been limited to a Fantasy realm. The influence is there in Fantasy, of course, however, there are but a few that have a real historical context. Kingdom Come: Deliverance aims to not only...
Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame is a helluva long title so let’s refer to it as MES going forward. Software publishers love sports games and why not? It’s basically the same product every year. Update the rosters, optimize the game a bit more, and maybe throw in a couple...
We are several generations into this franchise, and Koei Tecmo and Omega Force decided to try something new with Dynasty Warriors 9. In their latest iteration of the Three Kingdoms Epic, the developers opted for an open-world adventure where players can explore ancient China and partake in key battles and...
Part one of The Fall came out of nowhere as far as I could tell. A Kickstarter success story, it looked to me like a run-of-the-mill adventure game with a very dark atmosphere. But I was pleasantly surprised: The Fall was actually a fun and thought-provoking narrative with puzzles that...
Aegis Defenders is an action platformer blended with tower defense elements that results in a sum greater than its parts. With 16-bit visuals inspired by classic titles, and a self-proclaimed Metroidvania styled game with tower defense elements, the game sounded almost too ambitious. However, with various elements that reminded me...
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...
