Modern Warfare II is considered to be the pinnacle of Call of Duty multiplayer design. Many years have passed since the simple days of online lobbies and split screen multiplayer; we now live in the age of live-service gaming, constant seasonal updates and changes being made almost daily. The newly...
Sniper Elite 5
Sniper Elite returns for the fifth entry in this surprisingly long-running series, spanning multiple console generations and continuing to excel and thrive during the ever-changing landscape of the video game industry. Developer Rebellion is a rarity in the game development scene, in that they retained their independence after all these...
A Memoir Blue is both beautiful and extremely heartfelt. Another indie game from indie publisher Annapurna Interactive, this game feels right at home with its contemporaries in the indie space. Unlike the electrifying gaming experience that is The Artful Escape, also published by Annapurna, A Memoir Blue is a much...
The King of Fighters series has been a fighting game staple since the early 90s and has continued to retain massive audiences of devoted players for over two decades. It’s been nearly 6 years since the last instalment in the franchise’s long history, and its most recent release proves to...
Chorus
Traveling through the cosmos is an experience many games have tried to emulate since their earliest inception. While technology has improved and the vision for what constitutes a video game set in space has grown in scope, Chorus is all about the majestic art of flying a tiny starship with...
Riders Republic is an onslaught of speed and mayhem, which can lead to excitement, frustration, and often both simultaneously. It offers a high octane and adrenaline-fueled sporting experience that can challenge or relax you in equal measure. And after a not too insignificant delay earlier in the year, Riders Republic...

You are the chosen one. The unique individual who is destined to save the world, save the galaxy, or the universe depending on the threat level. It’s a clichéd narrative tool that has become commonplace in stories throughout history, but there’s a good reason for it. Narita Boy may seem...
Werewolves have never really received the same love and attention as other creatures of the night. Often they’re featured as side characters to their fair-skinned vampire kin. But being a werewolf must also be exciting and fun, right? Mix in a bit of lore about Caerns and spiritual energy and...
Call of the Sea reminds me of the 2017 film ‘The Shape of Water‘. Besides the surface level comparisons by way of the fact they both prominently feature fish people, the underlying themes of discovering oneself and embracing life is also a theme both of them share. Call of the...
Serious Sam is a franchise that’s been around for longer than you might think. I had the opportunity to review the latest entry in the series not too long ago, and suffice it to say – I came away loving it! Now the entire collection has been released and updated...
You are the Ghostrunner. What does that mean? Doesn’t matter, there isn’t any time to explain just now. You have a voice in your head telling you to come break them out of prison. Why are they in prison? We’re not sure. Should we trust this disembodied voice? It’s not...
