The mixing and matching of genres in order to get a unique and memorable gameplay experience is a difficult field to walk. Sometimes you get brilliant combinations, like Action RPGs, Visual Novel Simulations, or Time Management Waifu. Bullet hell, sometimes called danmaku, is a weird one to try and intermingle...
In the time between Shin Megami Tensei V’s announcement and release, three different versions of Skyrim came out. Six Call of Duties were released. As did a torrent of phenomenal JRPGs that reinvigorated and changed the foundations of the genre. Xenoblade Chronicles, Tales of Arise, Persona 5, Fire Emblem: Three...
After playing the previous iterations of Just Dance with a phone as a controller, thinking there’s no way this could get any more intuitive, I finally decided to give the franchise a go on the Switch. I don’t remember the last time I’ve played a Switch game 100% focused on...
You may not have heard of it before, but Corpse Party is actually a long-lasting franchise and proof that you can walk the distance with your passion project if you truly believe in it. This started off as an RPG Maker-developed fan game more than twenty years ago, a proof...
I had to dig deep in order to find out what the hell Marsupilami was. I found out it was a Belgian comic book series from way back, but none of my friends, from all ages and birthplaces, had ever heard of it. The only person who knew what the...
In spite of multiple attempts, I’ve never really gotten far into world-building games. I’ve dabbled in Little Dragon Cafe, Lego Worlds, Minecraft, all the standard affairs, and it just felt like it wasn’t for me.

When we first heard of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, Bethesda’s way of celebrating the tenth anniversary of what was, is, and will probably forever be its most successful game of all time, we laughed. We had to laugh, not because of any particular issue with Skyrim itself...
Call of Duty: Vanguard has officially been unleashed upon the gaming world. The annual Call of Duty release everyone has come to expect ahead of the holiday season. With constant backlash from the previous installment, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, it was time to go back to something...
I’ll be completely honest with you and admit that I am not the best at base building, tower defense, strategy styled games. I love me some XCOM and Desperados III, but have never been good at the strategy games that require real-time resource, building, and army management. So why am I...
Being a professional game reviewer, you have to play a ton of games, and not all of them are winners. For many of them, you have a pretty good idea of what you’re getting yourself into when you decide to start playing. There are some that you’ll have high expectations...
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (or KOTOR) is one of the best and most important Star Wars games of all time. It is also one of the best and most important RPGs of all time. It was the game that catapulted the (formerly) beloved studio Bioware into the...
The Nintendo Switch is definitely the platform for bringing back titles with a brand new coat of paint. Some are really transparent: the port for New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is downright offensive (no one actually likes Luigi U), and even Bayonetta receives little more than a shrug. “You...
