• 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?

  • NBA 2K27 - PlayStation 5 Review

    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 - PC Steam Review

    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.

  • Outbound - PC Review

    Let me tell you about this cozy game my daughter and I are playing together called Outbound. Now, I've been following this game from the initial Kickstarter back in April 2025 to its full release in May 2026. The best Mother's Day gift for myself and my first ever collector's edition in a physical copy!

  • OVER REQUIEMZ - Nintendo Switch Review

    In OVER REQUIEMZ Yuhiru is thrown into the castle of Oz and is immediately accused of trying to assassinate the King and shoved into the dungeon. Not only is she treated like a criminal...

  • 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.

  • HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush - PS5 Review

    ...Now Milestone, the original developer of the two Hot Wheels Unleashed games, is back, and I was hoping it would be as fun as the last two Hot Wheels games they made...

  • Asdivine Knot - PS5 Review

    Asdivine Knot is the latest title in the Kemco JRPG library. Following protagonist Verselio, who's on the run from the church that they once served, he'll be accompanied by an odd selection of party members as they all find a reason to band together…

  • STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT - PC Review

    Our story begins in Akihabra, Tokyo Japan. The protagonist Okarin… Or rather Rintaro Okabe, (Voiced by Mamoru Minyano) is a recent high school graduate who rents an apartment with his best friend and resident computer hacker, Itaru ‘Daru’ Hashida (Voiced by Tomokazu Seki) during the summer of 2010.

Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl - 3DS Review

Games like Etrian Odyssey mimic what Wizardry and others did for years. While these types of games tend to build up loyal followings, they can be somewhat difficult for newcomers to enjoy. There is a lot of grinding and plenty of challenge to be had. Recently Atlus released the latest in the series, which is why The Millennium Girl almost caught me by complete surprise, coming out so close to the last title.

AiRace Speed - Nintendo 3DS Review

Racing titles, like platformers, are not the first genre I generally leap at, but having seen positive reviews for the prior AiRace titles and having seen the screens and gameplay footage for AiRace Speed, I was curious to see how this futuristic racing title would pan out.

Tales to Enjoy! - 3DS Review

This is going to be one of my busier posting weeks - with five reviews in five days. Because of that, I figured I would go with a quick, lightweight review today about a pair of DSi download titles I recently had a chance to play. Tales to Enjoy! is sort of an overarching, almost 'brand name' for a series of games by Enjoy Gaming that target a much younger demographic than most video games.

Fatal Inertia EX - PlayStation 3 Review

I have gotten some very cool games from the PlayStation Plus program since signing up for it. Of more recent note are some of the bigger, full games like Borderlands, Sleeping Dogs and Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. There have even been some very timely releases like Double Dragon: Neon for free on the day it came out.

Unfortunately the earlier offerings were generally not quite as good. I have touched on some of those, like Inferno Pool or the PlayStation Minis I reviewed here. There is no doubt in my mind that the PlayStation Plus service has only gotten better.

Well, one of the remnants from early on I still had not spent much time with until recently was Fatal Inertia.

Journey - PSN Review

Journey is not your typical video game. It does not try to be, and that is a good thing. It is more of an experience, often compared to titles like The Unfinished Swan, or to some extent, Limbo. On the one hand, because Journey uses a fairly unique style and presentation, I can understand those comparisons, but Journey is also very much its own game.

Angry Birds Star Wars - iPhone/iPad Review

Angry Birds is such an interesting title, because it can be so divisive among gamers. The concept is simple and reminds me of older trajectory based games like Scorched Earth - a title I spent a lot of time with back in high school. There is no denying the overall appeal of the game. It is readily available on lots of devices, the premise is simple but varying levels of success yield more stars for personal accomplishment, and as the many iterations since have demonstrated - there is a lot of variety that can be injected into the basic formula.

Hamsterball - PSN Review

This is a cute, quick little game that was yet again one of my earlier PlayStation Plus freebies. It sort of reminds me of the old Marble Madness game I played for the NES a million years ago - except I did not enjoy this title nearly as much as I recall Marble Madness.

Persona 4 Golden - Vita Review

I was excited when my wife got me my Sony PlayStation Vita earlier this year - and rightfully so. The hardware is very impressive - I reviewed the system here. Still, as I cited then, the hardware can only do so much. I am more impressed with the Vita than the 3DS as a console, but Nintendo's handheld has a better stable of games. This is still true today - but Persona 4 Golden is my favorite game on either console, which is saying something because Fire Emblem Awakening is still one of my favorite titles this year.

Star Wars: Force Collection - iOS Review

Two things most people who know me are aware I enjoy a great deal: Star Wars and CCG's (collectible card games). So when I heard that there would be an iOS game mixing those two elements together, I was more than a little excited. Still, when the recipe for success seems so certain, that usually means you are in for some degree of letdown.

Madden 25 - PS3 Review

Just in case anyone had any doubts about it, I am a big fan of the Madden series. If you had any doubts, you can take a peek at my top Madden Moments here. I have a lot of them, having played the vast majority of the titles on one system or another. So with all of the fanfare surrounding 25 years of John Madden branded football, I had a lot of hope we would be seeing some serious throwbacks to some of the more important titles in the series.

Might & Magic Duel of Champions - PC Review

It seems like most of the card games I have been playing were on mobile devices, but Magic 2014 was on both PlayStation 3 and PC, and sometimes I just like to have a bigger screen in front of me with a mouse or controller in my hand to play them. Might & Magic Duel of Champions does have both an iPad and PC version, but I only played it on my laptop and desktop - I never bothered with the mobile version.
