Despite not having seen or watched more than a random episode or two over the last ten plus years I remain steadfast in my affection for the Dragon Ball Z series. Of course, while I still love the anime, I’d be the first to admit that I don’t remember many...
In Eclipse: Edge of Light, now on PSVR, you play in first-person as an astronaut who has crash-landed on an alien world. You are sent straight into the game without an explanation as to the game’s plot or the objectives, other than to find your fellow crew member who seems...
Decay of Logos
Let’s just cut to the chase. Decay of Logos is bad. Like, really bad. It’s a game that attempts to take the best parts of beloved franchises like The Legend of Zelda and Dark Souls and mash them together to create a sprawling, relentless world that is just as beautiful...
Dauntless
Sprinting forth into the great wild, with enormous sword in hand and sturdy helmet resting on your head, is there anything more thrilling than galavanting across floating islands to hunt and defeat gargantuan monsters hell-bent on your utter destruction? What about being able to save your people at the same...
Heroland
Originally released as WORK x WORK in Japan, Heroland has made its way west almost a year later. Heroland featured a modest amount of hype behind its original release as its staff included Mother 3 director Noboyuki Inoue, who wrote the story, and Mother 3 artist Nobuhiro Imagawa. Despite the...
Wattam
Katamari Damancy set a certain precedent for video games, namely that they can get really weird at a moment’s notice. This trend has continued apace for the studio’s subsequent releases, leading in an unbroken path to Wattam. In some ways, this is the jewel of their weirdness crown, a sparkling...
War and Strife, two of the legendary Horsemen, have been given incredible power, and are tasked with maintaining balance between Heaven and Hell. War employs more reason and loyalty in his decision-making, and Strife comes off as slightly hot headed, and greedy. This dynamic between the two characters works very...
While video games are, indeed, my favourite entertainment medium, music comes a very close second. So whenever I get my hands on a music/rhythm game, I can’t help but be overjoyed. And while music games have since become less of a mainstay after the egregious milking of the Guitar Hero...
MechWarrior 5 returns the franchise to a singleplayer/co-op experience for the first time since 2002. Developed by Pirahna Games, the team responsible for MechWarrior Online, the game is crafted by experienced hands.
Back in 2014, a team of plucky video-game enthusiasts banded together to pitch Shovel Knight to Kickstarter. Little did Yacht Club know at the time of the meteoric rise to fame that they would soon be swept up in. What started as a retro-inspired homage soon grew into a treasure...
Phoenix Point
Were you playing PC games in 1994? Truly it was a different era. The games were clunky and unpolished. They often bit off more than they could chew. But there was a gritty punk rock feeling to everything. When the creative culture is so messy, you’re more likely to arrive...
Halo: Reach
It’s been a wild five years for Halo: The Master Chief Collection. I won’t dwell on the abysmal launch it faced in 2014, but it’s worth recognizing the heart and perseverance that paved the road to its success today. The revolution the collection has undergone on console and its debut...
