The sport of tennis has been intrinsically linked with the evolution of video games. From Higinbotham’s 1958 Tennis for Two to the critically acclaimed Virtua Tennis, the sport has had an array of renditions throughout the medium’s long history. After soaring to unprecedented heights in the 2000s, tennis games crashed...
Port Royale 4
If the events of 2020 have ruined your grand travel plans for the year, perhaps a trip to the sunny Caribbean is in the cards for you. Port Royale 4 offers a particularly unique opportunity to escape to paradise if, of course, your idea of vacation includes building plantations, poring...
Serious Sam 4
It’s been nine long years, but Serious Sam Stone is finally back with a brand new first-person shooter for all your gun-slinging needs. Serious Sam 4 is a fresh new take on the Serious Sam franchise and acts as a prequel to the original three games. Don’t worry, Serious Sam...
Tamarin
Tamarin was created by Chameleon Games, a developer made up of mostly staff from Rare Studios’ glory days on the N64. I was expecting an exploration-based platformer/collect-a-thon, but instead, Tamarin draws its gameplay inspiration from 3rd person shooter Jet Force Gemini. This would have been great new for fans of...
To call time travel stories complicated is to label the ocean as damp. While this can be a cursed gift, sometimes there are real gems among the thumbtacks and red strings. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, the latest project from Vanillaware, pulls this off with easy grace. You are, almost at...
I’m not proud to say it has been quite some time since I took control of my intrepid space captain and the crew of the Unreliable. I was met face to face with one of the most terrifying prospects a gamer can face: I couldn’t remember how to play. It...
Unfortunately, the gameplay is a simple affair. There are puzzles, of course, but they’re few and far between, and in many cases repetitive. For every “how the hell do I infiltrate this building without being seen” there are five “match the pictures on your computer to the pictures on the...
Tell Me Why
It’s been days since I’ve finished Tell Me Why, from DONTNOD, but I’m still thinking about it. To answer your first question, no it’s not another Life is Strange game. But it could have been. It’s got a lot of the same aspects – a choice-based episodic story, duel protagonists,...
Fury Unleashed
Fury Unleashed is really just a simple game with simple controls, but it is unexpectedly hard. In fact, it’s very hard. But that doesn’t take away from the entertaining aspect of it, nor does it make you rage quit and never play it again. They’ve got the formula right for...
Ary and the Secret of Seasons is the tale of a defiant young girl who takes the fate of the world into her own hands when evil strikes. The daughter of a Guardian responsible for the security and status quo of the winter region of Valdi, Aryelle must harness the...
Have you found yourself upset as of late with mainstream soccer games? No one would blame you. Fifa and Pro Evolution have become stagnant. For the past several iterations, both franchises have failed to see any real, significant, change. Thus, it’s hard not to look at them and feel as...
Project CARS 3
I approached Project CARS 3 as an opportunity to shake off the rust of driving games and get behind the wheel once more to test my skills. It had been a long time since I sat in the virtual driver’s seat and careened across the pavement, and Project CARS 3...
