Have you ever wanted to take to the skies in the great blue yonder, traveling through the air as your own boss from island to island trying to cut a little piece of fame and fortune out for yourself? Developed by Blindflug Studios, Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings is a...
Pool Panic
Pool Panic, now out on the Nintendo Switch, is hyped by developer Rekim as “the world’s least realistic pool simulator,” and after playing it I would definitely agree. While it takes its basic cue from the traditional game of billiards, this little game takes demented glee in twisting, warping and...
Danger Zone 2
Last year, we reviewed a fun, albeit flawed, Burnout-style game called Danger Zone that was developed by Three Fields Entertainment. Three Fields Entertainment was actually founded by ex-members of Criterion Games, the studio that made those great Burnout games. So in many ways, Danger Zone was a spiritual successor to Burnout....
Earthfall
Earthfall is a co-op first-person shooter that pits you and your friends against hordes of aliens in an attempt to escape unscathed. It takes its influence from games like Left 4 Dead, however when I saw the trailer I thought it could be something a bit more like Extinction from...
There’s apparently a lot of little things you have to do when you drive a public transit bus, and Bus Simulator 18 has clearly gone to great pains to replicate them all realistically. You’ve got to manage the lights (exterior and interior), front and rear doors, a ticket machine, wheelchair...
I won’t spoil anything but suffice it to say that the game seems to have a clear political stance on the idea of healthcare as a privatized industry. As Alex regains his memory, though, the simulation begins to fail. This becomes worse each day as the androids begin to malfunction,...
Last year, Sega blew everyone away with Sonic Mania. For a lot of Sonic fans, the game felt like the second coming of their beloved blue blur. Now, a whole year later, they’ve delivered what feels like the definitive version of that experience with Sonic Mania Plus. Yet there’s no...
20XX
20XX wants to be a Mega Man game for a new age. The futuristic platformer clearly strives to be equal or better than the Blue Bomber, adding a few new ideas to the old formula and producing something new. The game can stand on its own, it is a lot...
Rainbow Skies
I was initially fooled by this game. At first glance, it looks like it should be a free to play mobile title. Yet a little time spent with Rainbow Skies dismantled both these crass assumptions in short order. While I was put off by the slightly bobble-headed character models and...
The progressive strides of each successive Lego game has led to more and more creativity, huge set pieces, hilarious boss battles, and innovative puzzles that neatly settled together in the culmination of the toys to life game Lego Dimensions. While the series didn’t run its fully intended lifespan, the fact...
If you are coming into this game without an inkling of what to expect, the opening moments alone will absolutely throttle you right in the feels. The cinematography, the music choice, the entire presentation speaks to the skill Dontnod has when it comes to a gripping narrative – as if...
Let’s get in out of the way: Unforeseen Incidents is a bad name. After all, the phrase “unforeseen incidents” could be used to describe pretty much any media, since what puts a story into motion is quite literally called the “inciting incident.” And Unforeseen Incidents deserves better, because it’s a...
