  • House Flipper Remastered Collection - PC Review

    I enjoy simulation-type games, and I enjoyed the original release of House Flipper, but I never got around to getting the DLC. When the remastered version of the game was released, I figured it would be the best way to experience the DLC while checking out how the base game was upgraded.

Nick’s Games of the Year – 2017


Game of the Year

While I still personally preferred Persona 4 by a narrow margin, and there is an argument that Persona 5 lasted a bit longer than it should have at the end, the game is still fantastic in almost every way. The visual style and music are distinctive, the way the story it sold is interesting, the characters are memorable and at its heart, we still have a turn-based RPG that is as good as they come.

1st runner up


It seemed implausible back when Nintendo first showed a trailer for this game. A Skyrim-esque open world featuring link? Surely it would be too great a technical challenge? Or the game would lose some of its ‘Zelda’ soul in the process? Nope, instead we have a game that is still being played by multiple people in my house and easily became my family’s most played title in 2017. MarcL’s Review – Switch

2nd runner up

It’s been a few years since I played a proper Danganronpa game, and yet V3 picks up where we left off, adding a few new wrinkles to an already fantastic formula. When the first Danganronpa released on Vita years ago, it changed how people looked at the Visual Novel genre, and V3 continues that standard of excellence through it’s unique visuals and twisted, emotional story.

Surprise of the Year


I am a huge turn-based, RPG/strategy fan. In many ways, the Sega Genesis was arguably my favorite console due to genre titles such as Warsong, Shining Force and even Sega CD games like Dark Wizard. So what happens when you take one of my favorite stories and merge this non-traditional narrative with comfortable, familiar gameplay? You get Godseekers, and I loved it. Nick’sReview

Biggest Disappointment


I love Double Dragon. The arcade original ate many of my quarters and still has one of the best tunes in the history of video game music. I spent countless hours playing Double Dragons I & II on the NES. Double Dragon III was a huge misstep in the arcade, and hard-as-they-come but interesting headache on the NES. I liked Double Dragon Neon even. So how the heck did Double Dragon IV go so wrong? It looks and sounds the part of a 25 year old game, with no modern sensibilities and terrible collision detection. Huge letdown from a lifelong fan of the series. Nick’sReview

Guilty Pleasure


I enjoyed this game when it came out on the PS2 originally, but haven’t played it since. It’s weird, it’s different, with its unusual Gambit system, a lot of unfamiliar bosses and lots of walking / backtracking. But the updated version looks better, added some nice conveniences such as 2x and 4x speed and I was still going back and beating end-game content like Yiazmat in November. It’s not a new game, but it has staying power. Nick’sReview
