  • Minos - PC (Steam) Review

    The tower defense genre is one that doesn't tend to innovate much with static maps, various traps, and its simple to grasp gameplay loops. At least, that is until Minos with a mighty laugh to prove you wrong.

  • Decollate Decoration - PS5 Review

    Hello everyone and welcome to a new KEMCO title! But wait a moment, this one is different to the retro JRPGs that you’re probably expecting when you hear KEMCO from me by this point. Instead what we have is a sort of point-and-click style visual novel! Something a little new and fresh coming out here!

    Toxic Commando harkens back to video games years ago when they were fun and innovative while giving the player freedom to explore among the waves of enemies in a 4 player chaotic onslaught of combat and driving mechanics.

  • Dread Delusion - Xbox Series X|S Review

    Today we’re looking at what has rapidly become an absolute favorite in the open-world RPG genre for me. An interesting story, memorable NPCs, stunning visuals, and a setting absolutely dripping with flavor, Dread Delusion sets its tone immediately and sticks with it.

  • People of Note - PS5 Review

    ...I love music in general. After playing the People of Note demo, I knew I had to play the full game.

Super Paper Mario - Retro Reflections


Standing out as an eccentric sibling to the core family of Super Mario games, the Paper Mario series has spent its brief legacy introducing players to the Mushroom Kingdom in a uniquely quirky, playful, and story-driven way. Often considered the spiritual successor to Super Mario RPG for the SNES, this offshoot franchise has spawned several creative and personality-packed titles. I’d like to, in the future, talk about the first two games for the N64 and GameCube respectively, but today we’re going to explore the world of Super Paper Mario, a Wii title and the third installment in a cult hit series.

Corpse Party coming to 3DS and PC is some scary good news


Chris and I are both tremendous fans of these games. I still remember playing the first one on my PSP years ago, and I adored it. So this bit of news was more than welcome - and will likely have Chris and I arguing over who gets to play which version on why system. The digital PC is already out and we have a review upcoming, but these other versions are worth keeping an eye on as well.

Blues and Bullets - Episode 2: Shaking The Hive - Xbox One Review


It has been a long wait - a very long wait. Admittedly, one of my concerns about episodically released games has always been the 'what if?' when too much time passes between episodes. Blues and Bullets nearly tests that theory with an eight month hiatus since Episode 1 released. Thankfully, for those who enjoyed the format of the initial chapter, they will find a lot to like here as Blues and Bullets - Episode 2: Shaking The Hive strikes many of the same notes.

Stories: The Path of Destinies - PS4 Review


Choice. How often do we hear this word and wonder exactly how much of this famous word will actually affect the outcome? With a total of twenty-five endings to be had through various decisions and gameplay paths, Stories: The Path of Destinies truly offers choice in one of the best narratives that involves the famous groundhog day effect.

PSYCHO-PASS: Mandatory Happiness is heading to PS4, PS Vita this September!


This is looking like one of the more interesting NIS America titles coming our way. We have to wait for fall to get our grubby little mitts on it, but I suspect it will be worth the wait.

1943 - Retro Reflections


1943 is the sequel to 1942, a shooter that dates back to the Second World War, when the American forces defeated the Japanese and prevented them from conquering Eastern Asia. The game itself is not that old but the story takes place in that historic era.

Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart will launch very soon on PC


As in... April 26th soon. I was a big fan of the game when it came around before, so it is great seeing even more Idea Factory games finding a home on Steam.

Zombasite - PC Preview


With how far things have spread, the idea of the Zombie Apocalypse has been everywhere from the classics such as Dawn of the Dead, to popular series such as The Walking Dead over to the hilariousness of Shaun of the Dead. Needless to say lots of “Dead”. With games such as Dead Rising and Dead Island that take things to the heart of Zombies, Zombasite takes the idea into a realm not quite explored. Welcome to the Zombie Apocalypse Hack and Slash style where the blame for everything is quite clear. The Dark Elves did it. They truly do get blamed for everything.

Memorable Music in Gaming #25


It is hard to believe we have done twenty five of these articles so far, but here we are. Given the recent release of the popular game Dark Souls III, I thought we would make this edition of Memorable Music in Gaming all about the Soulsborne (as Chris calls them) games. Let's go ahead and tackle these from newest to oldest.

Tesoro Sagitta Optical Gaming Mouse - Hardware Review


Tesoro has been a longstanding favorite around here; I loved the Kuven  and simply cannot get enough of the Excalibur mechanical keyboards. So when the company took a step back to recharge I was both excited and concerned, waiting for their next major release.

Van Helsing - Retro Reflections


Van Helsing is based on the 2004 movie with Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale. Though they are among my favorite actors and I love fantasy, I didn’t enjoy that film. So, how about the game?
