I’ll be honest, before reviewing Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers I hadn’t heard of the Rushing Beat series. If, like me, you’re unfamiliar with these games, there were three Rushing Beat titles released in the early 1990’s. Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers is both a revival...
The Starship Troopers franchise has always been a strangely neglected one. The original novel and movie are stone cold classics, the latter in particular skewering the propaganda and marketing of warfare and xenophobia in a way that regrettably continues to be culturally relevant decades after their release. However, aside from...
Dragonkin: The Banished is an action RPG in the vein of Diablo, but this time there’s lots of dragons. Seriously, the dragons here are so bad and evil that their blood has corrupted the world, giving you the singular purpose to hunt them all down and defeat the Dragon Lords....
Resident Evil Village is perhaps best known for its Tall Vampire Lady, Lady Dimitrescu, who took the internet by storm back in 2021. Well, the crazy people over at Capcom have done what nobody thought possible, and crammed the tall lady into an even smaller screen: that of the Switch...
Some time far, far in the future, the very last zombie game will be released and its developers will weep, for there will be no more conceivable worlds for undead hordes to conquer. Saber Interactive will have had a big hand in that, as World War Z and its recent...
Love is one of the most complicated emotions we can experience, impacting every kind of relationship. Family, friends, significant others, and pets are all recipients of our love. Love can be a beautiful thing, but it can also become dark, taking something should be joyful and pure and turning it...
Greedfall was an interesting and fairly distinctive RPG that, whilst it had its issues, was able to captured my imagination. From the direction of the cutscenes, through the interesting companion characters, to the surprisingly dark and well thought out world, it was gripped me from the very beginning. Greedfall: The...
While I can certainly appreciate the scale and beauty of modern Zelda games, I do miss the old school style of dungeons and power upgrades on a 2D plane. This always draws me to games that are influenced by the SNES era of Zelda, and I’m happy to report that...
Monster Hunter is a series obsessed with its starring creatures. Every moment is spent in service to immense dragons, fire-breathing dinosaurs, and giant spiders, toads and squirrels that could bring down your house. However, the mainline series brings its own sense of melancholy with it, as you repeatedly kill and...
Ratcheteer has broken out of its Playdate exclusivity, making its way to PC and Switch with more graphic options and a CD quality soundtrack, along with support for more languages. While it has all of these additions, the core gameplay of Ratcheteer remains the same in Ratcheteer DX. The surface...
I loved the original Scott Pilgrim graphic novels by comic book author and artist Bryan Lee O’Malley. Quirky, charming, funny, and surprisingly insightful on the human condition, I think I devoured the entire series on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Clearly a love-letter to video game culture, the fisticuff-filled (mis)adventures of...
I really wanted to love God of War: Sons of Sparta. As someone who is fascinated by Ancient Greek mythology, adores a 2D Metroidvania or two, and has played and almost finished every God of War game going – curse you Ragnarök for being so long! – the shadow drop...
