The original version of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons from Starbreeze Studios was released in 2013, and was met with both consumer and critical acclaim. Now over ten years later, AvantGarden Games has teamed up with 505 Games to re-release this indie daring in the form of Brothers: A...
Princess Peach has really gotten the raw deal in terms of spotlight recognition since the Mario universe started spinning into side character games. Luigi’s Mansion is a fantastic series, Captain Toad warms my heart, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is tough as nails, and we’re all just waiting for a...
I really appreciate the global commitment to showing everyone what the apocalypse could look like. While so many of the films I saw in my younger days showed a lot of USA-based scenarios, the end of the world took place in every corner of Earth. Escape From New York, Brazil,...
Look, don’t crucify me, but as a teen, I sold Suikoden 2. I didn’t care to keep it in my library, and that’s despite being a turn-based fanatic. I couldn’t tell you what my thought process was when I came to that decision, but I regret it. Not only because,...
That announcement came out of nowhere. The revival of Top Spin, easily the greatest tennis franchise in gaming history, if you don’t count those titles starring Mario. Well, to be fair, Mario Tennis has had more bad games than good ones, so screw it, Top Spin is the best tennis...
I thoroughly despise Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. One of the most popular “games meant to generate Youtube reactions” released over the past few years, it was an intentionally poorly made title meant to annoy you. I don’t know what was worse about it: its ugly presentation, its intentionally-broken...
Having competitors in the gaming market is always a good thing. Football games used to be a lot better back when FIFA and PES (or eFootball, or Winning Eleven) were fierce rivals. The years when Battlefield and Call of Duty used to wrestle for FPS dominance were also the ones...
Out of the many, many, maaaaany retro-styled shooters (yep, still refusing to call them “boomer shooters”) released over the past few years, Ion Fury was one of the best of them all. 3D Realms’ attempt at rebooting the Duke Nukem franchise with the same engine and an even less sympathetic...
What a time for a TMNT fan to be alive! The franchise is as popular as ever thanks to some new shows, the Seth Rogen-produced movie ended up being surprisingly good, and we have plenty of options when it comes to TMNT video games. We can either relive our childhoods...
I tend to complain at times about the deluge of “Recharged” games being released by Atari, but I get why they are made. It’s really hard to modernize, or add further substance, to games released nearly 45 years ago, back when technology was so limited, and the entirety of a...
Alone in the Dark’s influence on the industry has been pretty large, very much pioneering the survival horror and allowing games like Resident Evil to exist. Unfortunately, though it’s a game that has struggled over the years. 2008’s ridiculously ambitious soft reboot “Inferno” could have been a great return, but...
I thought I had seen everything Japan had to offer in terms of nonsensical gaming premises. I’ve played pseudo-erotic pinball simulators, barely functional racing titles featuring toilets, and even whatever the hell Vroom in the Night Sky was supposed to be. But a collection of old Flash and mobile visual...
