Have you ever felt that playing a game was akin to a fantastic dream from your childhood? A dream full of wonder, of spectacle, of fantastic creatures? We as gamers have been given gifts in the form of games that transcend the expected and use their very atmosphere to tell...
Starpoint Gemini Warlords is a space simulation game that combines RPG, strategy, and 4x elements. The game previously released on PC last year and is making its debut on the Xbox One. Developed by the aptly named Little Green Men Games, Starpoint Gemini Warlords is the third title in their...
The Middle Ages has long served as inspiration for RPGs. More often than not that inspiration has been limited to a Fantasy realm. The influence is there in Fantasy, of course, however, there are but a few that have a real historical context. Kingdom Come: Deliverance aims to not only...
Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame is a helluva long title so let’s refer to it as MES going forward. Software publishers love sports games and why not? It’s basically the same product every year. Update the rosters, optimize the game a bit more, and maybe throw in a couple...
We are several generations into this franchise, and Koei Tecmo and Omega Force decided to try something new with Dynasty Warriors 9. In their latest iteration of the Three Kingdoms Epic, the developers opted for an open-world adventure where players can explore ancient China and partake in key battles and...
Part one of The Fall came out of nowhere as far as I could tell. A Kickstarter success story, it looked to me like a run-of-the-mill adventure game with a very dark atmosphere. But I was pleasantly surprised: The Fall was actually a fun and thought-provoking narrative with puzzles that...

With 16-bit visuals inspired by classic titles, and a self-proclaimed Metroidvania styled game with tower defense elements, the game sounded almost too ambitious. However, with various elements that reminded me...
Baseball Riot
Another day, another Nintendo Switch port. This time around, we’ve got the 2-year-old game, Baseball Riot, from 10tons Ltd. arriving on Nintendo’s latest console. In fact, you might recall that we reviewed Baseball Riot for Xbox One last year and was less than impressed. If you’ve played previous ports of...
Sprint Vector
We’re now rapidly approaching the two-year mark since the release of both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. In that time players have come to expect more. The honeymoon phase of “any VR is good VR” has passed for all but the most recent converts. So where are things going...
Monster Hunter: World is the latest title in the long-running Monster Hunter franchise and is the first mainline title to hit non-Nintendo consoles since Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on the PSP in 2008. This title also marks the first Monster Hunter to release simultaneously in North America, Europe, and Japan,...
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for a well-done brawler, one that embraces the genre’s roots but also carries its own unique gameplay. I found Full Metal Furies satisfied that criteria, but I wasn’t expecting anything less from the creators of Rogue Legacy. When playing the...
The Inpatient
In 2015, Supermassive Games delivered an exceptional character driven horror game with an outcome determined by your own decisions in Until Dawn. It undeniably bore its imperfections but managed to establish itself as one of my favorite titles of that year. After an excruciating three year hiatus from the franchise...
