Back in the 90s, games were games. We didn’t need 1080p, 60 FPS, flimity-flamity – we had pixels and by God, we liked it. Games were simpler but they were fun. Take RollerCoaster Tycoon – we kids would gather around the old Personal Computer and have a ball, just laying...
Echo
When Half-Life 2 came out, the new AI being able to actually circle around and break through doors to get to you was the wave of the future. Smart enemies who had the power to hunt you down became more and more present in modern gaming, and while guards in...
WWE 2K18
The motto of World Wrestling Entertainment is “Then, Now, Forever.” It’s something wrestling fans read before every WWE television show, be it on the WWE Network or on normal TV. The slogan is supposed to symbolize the history and legacy of the storied wrestling promotion, but in turn, these words...
From its very first moment, Gran Turismo Sport floods the player with a melancholic symphony of sound and picture that takes you back to the racing days of old. I say racing because that’s what it’s all about, not merely waltzing past mistake-prone AI on a quest to attain the...
Making video games and movies based on comic books have been hit or miss in the past, but every so often one of them works fantastically well. Developed by Tick Tock Games, Rogue Trooper Redux is one of those rare instances where slapping a fresh coat of paint on a...
As Thin Lizzy once said, the boys are back in town! After far too many delays it’s time for another adventure in the not-so-quiet mountain town of South Park! Developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, South Park: The Fractured But Whole continues the story of the New Kid from The Stick...
Danger Zone
If you’ve been gaming for at least a decade, there’s a good chance you’ve come across the Burnout franchise. The Burnout franchise is a series of over-the-top racing games with a heavy emphasis on crashing. The second Burnout game introduced a special Crash mode which specifically required players to drive into...
Gundam Versus
Since its first iteration in 1979, Gundam has been an entertainment powerhouse. The idea of powerful mech suits being used by the government for combat and defense, the thrill of seeing massive metal warriors fight it out in cities, leveling buildings and defending the people. It has captured our imaginations...
The greatest challenge in reviewing Touhou Kobuto V: Battle Burst lies in explaining exactly what this game is. The chibi characters and upbeat music suggest you’re about to play something lighthearted and fun. This is half-true. A quick look at the trailer gives the game a 3D fighter vibe. This is somewhat...
Pinball FX3
I haven’t had much experience with any virtual pinball game, let alone a real one, but I am somewhat familiar with game publisher, Zen Studios. Having played one of their previous games, Infinite Minigolf earlier this year, I had quite the positive experience with its online gameplay and course creation...
Emypre: Lords of the Sea Gates had one of the coolest ideas I’d heard of all year. A concept in which 1900s New York had its technological Golden Age washed away as the city drowned in a massive flood. What remains are those skyscrapers that stood tall enough to weather...
When it comes to point and click adventures, there’s only so much to expect but with a demon raised by humans, the standards were high. With a funny character and a story to trigger my prankster side, my best hope was for an engaging adventure to boot, one that made me...
