• NHL 27 - PS5 Review

    ...and I have been playing NHL games since. It didn't matter whether it was EA or another game like 2K in the 2000s; I loved hockey games and still do, but is NHL 27 a step in the right direction?

    With these annual seasonal renewals of the sports season comes the related video games as well, and the question reviewers such as myself always face is this: Is this year’s game worth purchasing one year after the last one? My answer? Yes, absolutely. NBA fans are going to almost certainly enjoy NBA 2K27.

    Midnight Moments is a cozy cyberpunk diorama-building game that is stunning. Unlike games that require you to complete quests or take out assailants or even solve challenging puzzles, this one only requires one thing: imagination.

  • Isle of Reveries - PC Review

    Isle of Reveries is a top down 2D action adventure game that made my nostalgia for old school Zelda games flare up really hard. A good blending of puzzle, exploration, and combat, Isle of Reveries is a wonderful title to experience inside and out.

Memorable Music in Gaming #38


My fourth and final dive into the Sega Genesis Classics soundtracks is going to have a very adventure / RPG flavor to it. Beyond Oasis was probably the one I spent the least amount of time with, where as the other three are traditional JRPGs. Music was very important here, because you listened to some of the tracks a lot. In an action game, you might only be on a stage for a couple of minutes, but here you might be in a dungeon for an hour. If the music sucks, well - too bad because you either have to turn it down or listen to it loop over and over again. There were plenty of hits and misses in these soundtracks, but I had a handful of favorites that really stood out to me during my hours of play.

Memorable Music in Gaming #37


I have really had my retro gaming groove on over the last couple of weeks, due in no small part to the Sega Genesis Classics release. Seriously, I have hundreds of songs playing in my den, many of which I haven't heard in a couple of decades. I can't claim to have remembered them all, but it's striking to me just how many of these 16-bit era tunes ring familiar as soon as I hear the first few notes.

Memorable Music in Gaming #36


With more than four dozen games in its collection, the recently released Sega Genesis Classics brought back a lot of memories for me when I played and reviewed it. In the process, it also reminded me of so many songs I had completely forgotten about over the last couple of decades. So as I sat there revisiting some classic titles from my youth, I took note of the songs that stood out to me along the way, prompting a handful of Memorable Music in Gaming articles.

Memorable Music in Gaming #35


It's been awhile since we had a Memorable Music article, but my recent stint with the Sega Genesis Classics title has stuck some favorite tunes of mine into my head in recent days. So, I am going to pull down some songs from a variety of different games over the next several Memorable Music articles.

Sega Genesis Classics - PS4 Review


This is a fantastic collection of video games that tickled my sense of nostalgia as an older gamer. Additionally however, this Sega Genesis Classics release also provides an excellent window into gaming's 16-bit era for those who are a bit too young to have experienced that era for themselves. No collection satisfies everyone completely, and there are some curious omissions in this title as well, but some of the greatest video games of that era are faithfully represented and put into a single package that makes revisiting these classics a fun and convenient trip down memory lane.
