Video games that are licensed after successful films and TV shows are always hit and miss (usually miss). That being said, a lot of the success often comes from the quality of the source material. No one expected Race with Ryan to be a masterpiece, seeing as how it’s a game...
Stories can be told in many different ways. You can experience the horrors of war through games like Halo Infinite and Call of Duty: Vanguard. You can go on more sweet and wholesome journeys, like those found in A Short Hike and To the Moon. Sometimes you’ll even get a...
Sam and Max, the self-proclaimed Freelance Police, are back in action once again! After last year’s successful release of the remastered version of 2006’s classic, Sam & Max Save the World Remastered, we’re finally getting Season Two of the beloved series. Skunkape Games has shown a great amount of love...
Being a professional game reviewer, you have to play a ton of games, and not all of them are winners. For many of them, you have a pretty good idea of what you’re getting yourself into when you decide to start playing. There are some that you’ll have high expectations...
I’ve always been a sucker for a good mystery, so it’s only natural that my penchant for mystery novels would spill over into which video games I tend to enjoy. Although, for some reason I have yet to play an actual Sherlock Holmes based game. I have played several titles...
Psychonauts 2
Double Fine’s Psychonauts first captured our attention and our hearts back when it released in 2005. Many fans (myself included) just couldn’t get enough of plucky Razputin Aquato or his quirky classmates and professors at the Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp. Psychonauts brought us a 3D platforming adventure unlike any...
Superbrothers gained some notoriety back in 2011 with their first game, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP. It was a game that was truly one of kind, being a music-inspired cosmic adventure that was well received from fans and critics alike. You have to hand it to them, they certainly know...
Agatha Christie has provided the world with some of the best mystery novels ever written. There have been countless films, TV shows, and even video games based off her works. In theory, her material should be the basis for some of the best detective thriller games on the market, but...
I’ve been a fan of the Cruis’n franchise ever since they released Cruis’n USA on the Nintendo 64 back in 1996. Sure, it might not have been to the most glamorous game, or even have had great gameplay mechanics (they were atrocious), but something about its insane, high-speed action...
I’ll be honest and admit that I Am Dead from Hollow Ponds didn’t really grab my attention when I first saw it advertised. The art design left a lot to be desired and it wasn’t clear what the game even was from the trailer. I was ready to brush it...
Dreamscaper
I had the pleasure of playing Dreamscaper from Afterburner Studios during this year’s E3. It feels similar to Hades (which is its closest point of comparison), as it’s a roguelite, with an overarching story that continues even after you fail a run. This was one of the things that I...
