Sherlock Holmes The Awakened is a reimagining of Frogwares’ 2007 title of the same name, and will immediately pique the interest of mystery solvers and Lovecraft fans alike.
It’s enormously frustrating when a game is mismarketed. It’s also enormously frustrating when you really can’t talk about a game on its own terms without talking about another.
I’ve been playing a lot of Soulslikes of late; in fact, I was bouncing between the sci-fi Scars Above at the same time I was engaging with Team Ninja’s latest, Wo Long Fallen Dynasty. While the former proved to be an ill fit for a genre that FromSoftware has made infamous, Team Ninja...
Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is another in a string of Nintendo classics that have been ported to Switch while the pubilsher bides its time ahead of a new console.
In the past few years, the Like A Dragon series (formerly known under the title Yakuza) has taken off in Western markets like nobody’s business. Yakuza Like A Dragon was beloved by new players (and most returning ones) for uniting the series’ classic gang warfare storytelling with RPG mechanics, while...
I wouldn’t say that I’m a SpongeBob SquarePants fan — I’m able to count the number of episodes I’ve watched on two hands — but I am one of SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom Hydrated.

The Devil in Me is the final chapter of The Dark Pictures Anthology Season 1 and Supermassive’s second game of 2022, coming hot on the heels of the widely successful The Quarry. While The Devil in Me mightn’t hit those same heights — and that’s largely due to its budget, I’d wager —...
God of War set a new bar for a reboot, a reimaging, when it launched to critical acclaim in 2018. It took a known, but somewhat niche series compared to Sony’s big hitters, and transformed it into something amazing that appealed to both longtime fans and the mass PlayStation audience....
It’s no secret that I’m a bit joke-averse when it comes to the Borderlands franchise. Hell, I’m a bit gameplay-averse when it comes right down to it, something that’s kept me away from the franchise’s core trilogy and had me feeling a bit dismayed with spin-offs like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.
