Review : Final Fantasy XVI : Eikonic Fantasy

For better or worse, one can’t help but respect Square Enix for how they treat their marquee franchise, Final Fantasy. Their predilection of making every single new numbered entry quite different from one another is the kind of experimentation that could easily backfire and send longtime fans away. Yet it’s…

Review : Street Fighter 6 : Hit the Streets

Street Fighter II ruled all. This is often talked about in the realm of fighting games, but it goes beyond what many gamers these days might realize. There was no other game, regardless of genre, that everyone else was playing. It was all about Street Fighter II. Sure, there were…

Review : The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom : Royal Flush

When it comes to long running gaming franchises considered gaming royalty, it’s hard to deny the power and impact of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda franchise. When a new entry launches, everyone stops and pays attention. This is especially so when an entry in the series sets new standards that…

Review : Star Wars Jedi Survivor : Tour de Force

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, it was widely known that in the world of licensed franchises, Star Wars and videogames have always been a match made in heaven. It was a match that made the period from the mid-90’s to the mid-2000’s such a blast…

Review : Redfall : Lacking Bite

Arkane Studios represents two unique development houses under Bethesda's (and Xbox's) umbrella. Arkane Lyon developed Dishonored and Deathloop primarily, while Arkane Austin most recently developed Prey (2017). While they naturally share resources to some degree, they tend to work on games independently. I call this out as I personally believe…

It was what seems like a lifetime ago in 1990 when EA Sports was a blossoming brand on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and Super Nintendo, and they released the first PGA Tour. While other golf games continued to evolve the formula with some excellent examples (I'm looking at you Neo…
