If you’re interested in TV and comics, it’s almost impossible to have missed the impact of Robert Kirkman’s Invincible over these last few years. The Amazon series has injected lightning into the veins of the original comic series and it continues to escalate and enrapture fans four seasons in. As...
I never really thought about what it would be like if I was running a reality TV show or weekday soap opera full of assorted fellows and weirdos I created, but Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has been more than a delightful opportunity over the time I was covering it...
I always have an anxiousness about a 2D platformer going 3D. I fear that while it might look cool and handle well at the outset, the jump to the third dimension of level design and gimmicks always comes with some frustrating growing pains. I enjoyed the original Super Meat Boy,...
I’ve been to Canada only a handful of times, and I’m a little fuzzy on how things are up there. Thankfully, Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim is there to remind me on the semi-regular. It’s a whimsical place of comically unfortunate relationships, continuous battles, never-ending retro nostalgia, chiptune-infused rock music,...
Nioh 3
Three games into the Nioh series, I’ve been consistently impressed with how Koei Tecmo has evolved this IP game to game. The first Nioh was a solid and challenging first step into this new Souls-like take on the mythology-infested world of Feudal Japan. The second refined that formula with new...
Tribute Games has been doing cool things for quite a long time, but the studio won a tidal wave of love with its 2022 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2D co-op beat-‘em-up, Shredder’s Revenge. It should have come as no surprise that with such a stellar release, Tribute would be tapped...
Trigger Happy Interactive made a lot of fans with the hard-hitting sci-fi first-person shooter Turbo Overkill in 2023, but fast-paced sci-fi FPS isn't the only thing the developer has been up to. Total Chaos is a game that was first conceived as a Doom 2 total conversion mod. It has...
Nintendo and Koei Tecmo have made a fairly loyal fan of me over the course of several Warriors collaborations and spinoffs this last decade and then some. I’ve been particularly enamored with the fact that KT isn’t just strapping fan favorite characters to the Musou formula. Instead, it is augmenting...
Obsidian Entertainment has built a mood with The Other Worlds series. It’s one that positions corporations, executive manipulation, and rampant consumerism as a plague that haunts humanity well into our future in space, but in dark comedic fashion. The vibe continues into The Outer Worlds 2 where those nasty old...
I have to hand it to FuturLab. The developervery good at one specific thing, and that is creating structures absolutely caked with grime that only a good power washing will fix. The developer decided to stay with what works and build upon that with a sequel. PowerWash Simulator 2 is...
You know, I never thought I’d want to play a Ninja Gaiden game that didn’t have Ryu Hayabusa front and center in some capacity, but Ninja Gaiden 4 makes a pretty good case for Yakumo of the Raven Clan. He’s the star of the show in this latest entry in...
Whether you’re looking at the making Hollow Knight: Silksong or the many patient fans that have been waiting, this has been a long time coming. And in the end, it was worthwhile to open this up, let it breathe, and take in all the notes, because not only is Hollow...
