Oddly enough, Horizon: Zero Dawn was a game I initially had trouble getting invested in. At its top level it had all the ingredients of something I would love — strong female protagonist, a post-apocalyptic wasteland, robot dinosaurs and the hunting thereof — and yet I did not immediately click...

Destroy All Humans is out now — or rather, it’s been available for a day or two to those who’ve pre-ordered — and that right there is rather telling. Simply put, the remake of a 2005 plays like one, for all the good and bad that can be associated with that…...

Paper Mario closed the book on its original role-playing formula that evoked childhood dreams of picture books coming to life after the brilliant The Thousand-Year Door. Paper Mario The Origami King continues the franchise’s attempt to redefine itself in a genre-hopping search that’s followed ever since. It is not the return...

Catherine Full Body is a enhanced version of 2011’s Catherine, a social interaction and puzzler with elements of the horrific. It’s unique enough to have instantly captured my interest back in the day and still stands up now in 2019.

SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is available today, a remake of the 2003 Xbox and PS2 classic. I never played the original back in the day, deciding I was too old for the franchise at the time. After catching a couple episodes in self-isolation with my (admittedly younger)...

I didn’t have a PC growing up, so I was a frequent visitor to my friend Ryan’s house. He and I would spend hours in front of his Pentium II, playing games. It wasn’t my PC of course, so I ended up playing what games he had. While that worked...

The timing of 51 Worldwide Games couldn’t be better — in the midst of the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis and the ever-increasing need for self-isolation, it’s a must-have collection of quirky (and flat-out popular) games from around the globe.

I’m too old to get the appeal of Minecraft proper, even though my young nephew tried to get me across it before he himself abandoned the property for Fortnite. Dungeon crawlers like Diablo aren’t exactly my cup of tea either, so I wasn’t sure that Minecraft Dungeons would be for...

XCOM Chimera Squad is a bit of a surprise, announced this month and available ahead of what I described as “Gears of XCOM”: Gears Tactics. While Microsoft’s upcoming offering is a big budget, AAA affair (though admittedly free to those with Xbox Game Pass), Chimera Squad is looking to satisfy your...
