Yooka-Laylee was one of my favorite games from 2017, and I’m not just saying that to justify the Kickstarter money I invested on it (you won’t hear me say the same for Shenmue III, for instance). Despite featuring some issues, it delivered exactly what I wanted from a game meant to evoque the look, feel and soul of Banjo-Kazooie and, most specifically, Banjo-Tooie. That being said, I get the criticism. I understand that some people didn’t like its excessive complexity, reminiscent of To...
It’s no exaggeration to state that the Angry Video Game Nerd, the internet persona of one James Rolfe, is one of the most important figures in 21st century pop culture. You may think I’m just being dramatic, but just think about it: his Youtube show, which has been going on since (gasp) 2006, laid the foundations for internet retro gaming appreciation, for how gaming Youtubers and streamers behaved in front of a camera. Hell, he was basically the first Youtube superstar, and the fact his ...
Like any good human being with a pulse, I love Nintendo games, but I always worry about few of their franchises having actual competitors that are good enough to make them put in an effort on their subsequent releases. The issue with most Nintendo games is that, when there’s no one to compete with, you don’t have to try, rendering some franchises stale in the process. One such case is Mario Party. Whilst the games are still somewhat good, there’s no denying that they feel quite too simi...
It’s a lovely day at the Halfhead family. Mom and dad love each other so much, they decide to have a baby. The stork arrives with their little miracle, a kid named Henry. What a lovely child, full of hope and curiosity! Mom and dad decide to go to sleep, leaving baby Henry to his own, in his crib. Henry is a curious child, who wants to explore the world, so that’s what he decides to do. And this is how the story of his life begins in his own “biographical” game, Henry Halfhead. Oh, I ...
First things first, let me preface that I have long given up on complaining about Ultimate Team modes in sports games, so that kind of rant will be absent in this review of EA Sports FC 26. At this point, I’m just trying to stay positive and enjoy the franchise for the many, many, MANY other modes it has to offer. So I was looking forward to playing more footy matches after having decided to skip on last year’s FC 25. And I guess the decision to pick up EA Sports FC 26 instead was the ide...
The year is 2008. An Australian man working at the University of Oxford, who used to play bass for the synthpop band Cut Copy, releases a little browser game, developed whilst procrastinating from finishing his dissertation in philosophy. That man is Bennett Foddy, and the game in question is QWOP, an utterly frustrating, but oddly engaging, “sports simulator”. In it, you have to press the Q, W, O and P keys on the keyboard to move the thighs and calves of an athlete running a race until ...
Two of the most famous weirdos in the gaming industry decided to join forces and develop a game based on their shared likes and oddities. A game made by Swery65 (of Deadly Premonition fame) alongside Suda51 (of No More Heroes and Killer7 game). What could/should have been a moment worth celebrating ended up being a bit of disappointment after finally getting my hands on it. Let’s talk about Hotel Barcelona.
3DClouds has solidified itself as a talented group of individuals who are absolutely passionate about racing games, but have always been hampered by their projects being limited by a low production budget or being tied to a (most often underwhelming) license. With Formula Legends, the Italian studio has been given the chance to come up with something more robust, and a lot more special. A racing game including basically every single notable era in Formula 1 history, complete with multiple car...
Man, it felt weird downloading a 70GB game onto a Nintendo system, but this just made me a bit more excited to review NBA 2K26. For the past few years, I’d stick to reviewing those games on a PS4 or PS5, and they’d always be the same damn thing, be it in terms of visuals, underwhelming soundtracks, bureaucratic bootups, or immense amount of microtransactions. The act of booting an NBA 2K game up for a few matches was getting less and less exciting with each new version. This is why I was ...
Oh Bubsy. Bubsy the freaking Bobcat. Why are you a thing? Why are we still talking about you, nonstop, to this very day? Are we still facing the consequences of that one JonTron video from a decade and a half ago? Is this the reason this silly failed mascot is still somewhat known by gamers? After the release of two failed revivals a few years ago, I thought we had actually seen the last of the Bubsy franchise, but with Atari now owning the IP, we are not only getting a brand new Bubsy game f...
