Review : Harold Halibut : There and Back Again

Harold Halibut is the long awaited debut title from indie developer Slow Bros. The German studio, based out of Cologne, describes the game as a “hand made” adventure, a term that should definitely be taken more literally than you would probably expect. You see, when Slow Bros was founded by…

Review : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants : Shell Shocked

They may not be the hot ticket item when it comes to pop culture these days, but I’m happy to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continue to stay relevant in the current landscape in various ways. From its continuous comic line to even its most recent stop motion-style animated…

Review : Withering Rooms : A Nightmarish Dream

Withering Rooms is a single-player, 2.5D, horror action game with many superb influences such as Silent Hill, Clock Tower, and Dark Souls. It pays tribute to a bygone era of retro survival horror games, a genre which I have always been a huge fan of. With that said, Withering Rooms…

Review : Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide : Bloody Kairos

Even with endless debates, there is no denying the last few years have been really good to Final Fantasy fans. For a franchise that went astray and with yawning release gaps in the 2010’s, the quantity and quality of the recent output has seen Square Enix’s long-running franchise have one…

Review : Gas Station Simulator Tidal Wave Expansion : Full-Service Fun

I blame the simplistic yet entirely enthralling Power Washer Simulator for making me believe that I could not just handle the art of power washing with a sense of finesse, but also make me believe that I could hand other “simulator” games like Gas Station Simulator. For all intents and…

Review : Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth : Embrace Your Dreams

It was late at night, in the middle of Sony’s E3 2015 Press Conference, where a trailer with familiar imagery ended with the voice-over, “For they are coming back. At last, the promise has been made.” And in that moment, dreams finally came true: a remake for Final Fantasy VII…

The team at Arrowhead Game Studios wanted to create a tense, action packed, co-op shooter experience and set it against the motif of Paul Verhoeven’s classic film adaptation of Starship Troopers. Arrowhead has had grand ambitions for Helldivers, but, as…

Review : Skull and Bones : Shipwrecked

If there was one common feedback Ubisoft definitely got after the release of 2013’s successful Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, it was simple: make a full on pirate game. And for good reason. This one-off sequel in the long running Assassin’s Creed series managed to successfully build upon a side…

Review : Balatro : Joker’s Wild…Literally

I’m not great at poker or any type of card game, really, nor do I have a face for the game. I don’t know the purpose of Texas Hold’em besides filling in the dead air at your local bar. Before you write a comment teaching me the mechanics of the…

When Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was announced, the general consensus amongst the DC fandom was negative overall, stating how Rocksteady was making a game that no one wanted.
