Unlike the actual MLB season, which has since been put on hold due to current world events, MLB The Show 20 has launched relatively smoothly, bringing “America’s past-time” back to gamers’ living rooms. As it has been the past few years, MLB The Show 20 is another iteration of one...
House Flipper
House Flipper has been an interesting game to review. On the one hand, this game looks, sounds, and plays about as well as any low budget title did fifteen years ago. But on the other hand, there is a real sense of satisfaction that comes with turning a beaten-down shack...
Nioh 2
Listen, you already know if Nioh 2 is going to be your jam. You know which side of the “difficulty is part of the point” argument you fall on. There are a lot of good, and even great things here for fans of the genre, but in the end, it’s...
Do you see it? Can you hear it on the wind? Out there in the distance, just beyond the forest of Nibel, floats an owlette on the breeze, a spirit rested on her back. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is here, and the sequel to the meteoric indie...
I’ve been noticing this attitude in the world of video games where gamers are really concerned with price and value in a way that I find perplexing. Is a video game more valuable if you play it for longer? If so, I should pay thousands of dollars to the makers...
The Rune Factory series allows players much more to do than simply tending to a farm. Loosely described as Harvest Moon but in a fantasy setting with swords and magic, Rune Factory 4 was highly regarded as one of the best titles in the series in 2012 for the 3DS....
I’ll admit, I’m not great at fighting games. The complexities of titles like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter elude me, no matter how many hours I put into them. So it would make sense then that a game like One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows (OPM) would be right...
Everything you need to know about One Finger Death Punch 2 is in its title. It’s played with only one finger, there’s a ton of death and punching going on, and it’s a sequel. That simplicity extends to the entire package and the game never wastes your time thanks to...
Since the launch of Daemon X Machina, fans of mech games and anime alike have created a cult following of Marvelous Inc. and FIRST STUDIO’s love letter to mechs. The PC version of the game is just as much of a hit classic as it was on the Nintendo Switch,...
I play a lot of games that star people that murdered my ancestors. There are lots of fun games about medieval history, ancient Rome, Eastern Europe, and Russia. And at various times (most times really), those places were a pretty hostile place to be Jewish. In the 20th century, my...
Dreams
It’s tough to imagine Media Molecule, developers behind the insanely successful ‘Little Big Planet’ series, were ever going to give us a “traditional” gaming experience. After all, Little Big Planet was built on its unique concept – a game where the player was given a massive bag of tools to...
Ten years ago, PlatinumGames and Sega teamed up to release two very different hits on both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3: Bayonetta, a hack and slash action-adventure game, and Vanquish, a fast-paced third-person shooter. Both were very well received in their heyday, and if you missed out on them back...
