SNK’s a name that may not ring a tune with you young whippersnappers, but for those in the 25+ age range, they’re a very familiar name. Known for hits such as Samurai Showdown and Ikari Warriors, they’re a company very steeped in the seemingly ancient world of video arcades. Can...
At one time Sega pimped ET rappers – the funky, groovy duo of ToeJam and Earl – as mascots for their Genesis console. However poor sales of the original 1991 game nixed that and that mantle fell to the decidedly more kinetic Sonic and Crash Bandicoot. Enter ToeJam & Earl:...
Left Alive
Square Enix’s Left Alive is a stealth-survival game where the stealth gameplay barely seems to work and the survival mechanics hardly ever seem to matter. Often the beginning of a level in this “stealth” game will have a reminder (delivered through cutscene dialogue) that advises the player to avoid open...
If you have played The Mage’s Tale, then The Wizards will look very similar to you when you first strap on your PSVR headset. Both employ a first-person point of view in which you see a pair of disembodied hands floating in front of you, and in both you play...
When I checked out Dead or Alive 6 during the January beta, it felt different enough from my usual rotation of fighters to warrant a deep dive. I’ve had my share of NetherRealm and Super Smash Bros. rage moments, but Team Ninja’s tournament looked like an enticing new brawl. This would...
The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince is a short side-scrolling action-adventure game with lovable characters and an imaginative plot. Narrated in Japanese with English subtitles, Liar Princess introduces a heartwarming story that captivates audiences young and old. Although it’s not a long game and some of its puzzles can...
Arcade Spirits
Dating Sims are great, regardless if they’re just cutesy romance or if they get a little more “intense”. You can just sit me down with a cast of characters that my character can smooch and I can play for hours. Arcade Spirits gives me what I want, and even has...
Crackdown 3
We’ve done our waiting, five years of it! Five years that unfortunately have me questioning if it was all worth it. Admittedly, this is the first Crackdown game I’ve sunk more than a few hours into, so I can’t attest to whether or not it’s the proper follow-up to the...
Jump Force
Shonen Jump has been delivering iconic characters and stories that have shaped the landscape of manga, anime, and Japanese culture in general for the past 50 years, and Jump Force intends to celebrate that legacy by bringing a ton of classic characters together to duke it out for the fate...
After the explosive ending to Far Cry 5, we didn’t expect to see the franchise grace our screens again for some time, let alone take us back to Hope County. Far Cry New Dawn is a fresh step for the series, taking a chance on the post-apocalyptic side with their...
Just when I was beginning to get tired of the Switch becoming a port machine, here comes OlliOlli: Switch Stance to hardflip its way into my skater’s heart and change my perception. Yes, it’s still a port of Roll7’s slick and stylish OlliOlli games from 2014 and 2015, but man...
