Clock Tower is one of those horror franchises a lot of people have, at the very least, a modicum of knowledge about, but very few of them have actually played any entry in its nearly thirty year old history. Given how the original version was released only in Japan, and...
Earlier this year my wife and I took our kids to their very first Monster Jam show and they absolutely loved it. I haven’t been to a Monster Jam show since I was a child, so I was just as excited as my kids to be there. As soon as...
Mario Party is my far and away favorite franchise, to the shock and dismay of my 15 year old self. As much as I adore JRPGs, I’ve had too many games that disappoinetd me. Yet even, the most banal Mario Party title has enthralled me in one way or another....
Just Dance has been one of the most popular casual series in gaming for the past… twenty years or so. I, for one, haven’t played one in a good decade, with the last time I’ve tackled a Just Dance game being back in the Wii era, so when I was...
It stands to reason that you’ll get massive tie in games around the world. After all, Rugrats wasn’t as big in Japan as it was in America, but we still have a digital release of the latest adventure all the same. So, while Crayon Shin-Chan might only register for most...
After many years reviewing all kinds of games for this website, I thought I had seen everything, and would rarely be surprised by something that would otherwise go against the norm, or even the laws of nature. If you had told me I’d review a Smurfs game someday, and actually...
Y’know, I’m often amazed at how Bandai Namco always manages to get me hyped for a new Dragon Ball game when, in essence, they’ve done everything the franchise can offer over and over again. We are back at yet another game featuring a ton of overdramatic battles, the same damn...
Skull Island: Rise of Kong was one of the most maligned titles of 2023, even if I didn’t think it was worth all the “worst game of the year” badges of (dis)honor it received. With that being said, I was pretty sure no one else would be crazy enough to...
JRPGs are a genre where I feel the middle ground might as well be the bottom. As much as I love them, you either find games that are exceptional and stick with you forever or ones that simply don’t. The reason that people keep circling back to Chrono Trigger, Dragon...
Oh, hi there Nightdive! How’s it going? After releasing fantastic remasters of games like Doom, Quake II, Turok, and even stuff like PO’ed, what else do you have in stock? How about a remaster of an oddly amusing first-person shooter originally developed as a 3DO exclusive back in 1995, featuring...

Every once in a while, there’s a game that is able to not only catch your attention visually, but is also able to deliver a rewarding and satisfying experience on a deeply emotional level. Spiritfarer, is one example that I still think about quite often for its (mostly) optimistic view...
In 2010, Kazutaka Kodaka gave birth to a franchise with a pretty controversial premise – teenage murder. I’m referring to the brutality that is the Danganronpa trilogy. You know the deal; students known as Ultimates are trapped and need to kill to escape. Honestly, it’s a deranged, yet intriguing concept....
