I know there’s been a literal tonne of negative press surrounding the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (SSKtJL). The truth is, I by no means think it’s terrible. There are flashes of brilliance peppered throughout its relatively short runtime. Gorgeous cinematics and a fun, competent story anchor an...
The adage “two steps forward, and one step back” has never rung more accurately than it does when applied to The Crew Motorfest. While the latest entry into Ivory Tower and Ubisoft’s “The Crew” franchise submits a better racing experience than its predecessors, it simultaneously abandons the identity from which...
The review you are about to read is an account of the tragedy that befell a group of six youths, in particular Ana Flores and her sister, Maria. It is all the more tragic in the fact that they were young. Maria Flores has seemingly vanished without a trace. With...
Another year, another impressive baseball game is upon us. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised at this point, but Sony San Diego has again delivered us the best sports simulation on the market. Period. MLB The Show 23 is very much the sum of its parts. Building on an already outstanding...
WWE 2K23
After 2K and Visual Concepts got the WWE 2K series back on track last year with a stellar entry, there was little doubt in my mind they wouldn’t stay the course with WWE 2K23. For better or for worse. And after spending two dozen-ish hours within 2K23’s assemblage of modes,...
Despite the two latest racing game releases published by EA – Need For Speed Heat and Need for Speed Unbound – being developed by different teams, it’s astonishing how similar the latter feels to the former. Undoubtedly, race heads feeling at home in Heat will have a leg up on...
PGA Tour 2K23
After taking a year off following the launch of PGA Tour 2K21, HB Studios and 2K are back to once again deliver a simulation golf experience sorely lacking in today’s market. Thankfully, for the most part, PGA Tour 2K23 lives up to my hefty expectations. Its development team has done...
Despite its issues, Saber Interactive’s take on the Evil Dead universe has its claws in me. Evil Dead: The Game is competitively thrilling, all the while managing to genuinely feel like the next generation of asymmetrical multiplayer horror. Those that liked Friday the 13th or Dead By Daylight will love Evil...
If you’ve grown tired of the seemingly inescapable, inevitable routine that is yearly sports games, MLB The Show 22 isn’t going to do anything to wake you up. Several new features – such as a brand new commentary team – help distinguish Sony San Diego’s latest from the years before,...
WWE 2K22
It’s been a long, strange trip for WWE 2K22. Fans were leary of 2K acquiring the rights to the WWE games in 2014, with some going as far as to declare the beginning of the end for the franchise. After years of mediocre installments that only worked to frustrate a...
It’s been four years since the developers at Techland took to E3’s stage to reveal Dying Light 2, though it feels like a lifetime ago. For fans of the original, the rollercoaster ride that was Dying Light 2’s development cycle was – at times – agonizing. After a red hot...
As I sit to write the review for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition (GTA: DE), I can’t help but be reminded of Vito Corleone, lamenting over the massacre of his boy in Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘The Godfather.’ I think many like-minded 30-somethings that grew up with Grand...
