  • Map Map - A Game About Maps - PC Review

    Sometimes a game will hit your feed that is completely unexpected. That is the reaction I had when I discovered Map Map - A Game About Maps (which I'll refer to as Map Map from here on out). It is a puzzle exploration game where you take the role of a young cartographer setting out on a relaxing journey to many unknown islands.

    Let me tell you about this cozy game my daughter and I are playing together called Outbound.

The best Mother's Day gift for myself and my first ever collector's edition in a physical copy!

  • 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?

Vacation - Movie Review

I am not sure how a comedy should be judged. If someone steps on a banana peel and falls people will laugh but this isn’t comedy. Unfortunately, today films are full of jokes concerning the digestive or reproduction systems of the human (or even animal) body. So, I have lowered my expectations from this specific movie genre.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong - PC Review

With anxiety bubbling up in the pit of your stomach you step off the rickety, lean-to ferry into the faint light of Hong Kong. Your companions await you at the dock, socked to the bone by the near-constant drizzle and obscured by the sickly grey-green smog that washes over the lower quarters of Hong Kong. As you make your first step out onto the dock your stomach lurches, upset by the refuse of Hong Kong's seedy underbelly and the "complimentary dinner" of instant noodles full of who-knows-what that tasted like it was well beyond its expiry date … "Welcome to Hong Kong" you grumble to yourself as you move towards those waiting for you… Welcome to Shadowrun: Hong Kong that is; a throwback to classic turn-based roleplaying games. Set in the same universe/timeline as the previous games, Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Shadowrun: Hong Kong leaves its wildly successful Kickstarter and Early Access campaign and strikes out with more vigor than anyone could have hoped for. Shadowrun: Hong Kong is without a doubt the best in this rebooted series as it is positively dripping with atmosphere, characters, a deep story of corporate greed and societal dysfunction.

SteelSeries Rival Gaming Mouse - Hardware Review

SteelSeries is a well-known name in the gaming world as it provides some of the best gaming gear for a competitive price. While we have covered a number of different pieces, the Siberia Elite Anniversary Edition headset really set the bar as it was Chalgyr's Game Room's first ever perfect score and since then each new piece of gear has continued to impress. We were recently able to try out the SteelSeries Rival, a very competitively priced gaming mouse powered by SteelSeries Engine 3 with all the bits-and-bobs one has come to expect out of *the premiere* peripheral manufacturer. What we found was a well-priced and feature-heavy mouse that did more than just "get the job done."

Femme Focused Fighter Arcana Heart 3: Love Max!!!!! to be released on Steam on September 29!!!!!

That is a lot of exclamation marks - but you know what? They're appropriate as I was a big fan of this game when it came out on PS3 previously.

Shelter 2 - PC Review

To me, the mark of a great game it one that delivers a unique experience that stays with you. They’re the ones that make you fall in love with the characters, dish out emotional trauma with their story lines, give you that arm hair raising moment of awe, or make you think. There are of course times where you just want to wreak utter havoc and destroy things in a blood soaked haze for a few hours without much thought as to why you’re storming a creepy ruin waving a comically large meat poker; and there are some good games that give you that. However, the ones that truly stand out are the games that tug at your heart strings in some way. Shelter 2 doesn’t just tug at the heart strings though; it gives them a good yank then plays them like a cello.

All Guns On Deck - PC Preview

Just look at that list of genres: Action, Adventure, RPG, Strategy and Simulation. It's like video game soup where you add a bit of everything and let is simmer for a while. This can be a challenge, but one that so far All Guns On Deck appears to be up to. It has some flaws, but the early returns are promising at this stage.

Mionix Castor Gaming Mouse - Hardware Review

Mionix has come out of nowhere to become one of the more prestigious computer peripheral manufacturers that we at Chalgyr's Game Room have seen. With a strong focus on ergonomics, incredibly high build standards, and some of the best-performing gear we have seen, Mionix is continuously surprising us with their newest equipment. Our previous review of a Mionix mouse could not have been better as it scored a perfect ten and we managed to get our hands on the latest performance mouse from Mionix, the Castor and have taken it for quite the spin.

The Transporter Refueled - Movie Review

When I saw the poster of the “Transporter Refueled” I wondered “where is Jason Statham?”. Then I read it was a reboot, so I understood a new actor was hired. The story is about an extremely skilled driver who makes dangerous transportations for people with a lot of money and a need for secrecy. This time, however, he accepts a job that is not what it seems and will have him deal with the underworld of the French Riviera.

Blues and Bullets - Episode 1: The End of Peace - Xbox One Review

Blues and Bullets has an immediately familiar feel to how it plays, despite a unique visual impression that helps it to stand apart from other games. More importantly, it sets the stage for what promises to be an interesting investigation. Episodic games need a successful first episode to keep people hooked and coming back for more. Mission accomplished.

Armello - PS4 Review

Armello has the potential to be remembered as a daring mixture of board game and video game. Clearly there were chances taken, but the design holds up and the game is enthralling - especially with friends. Not everything worked as well as it could have, but for those of us who like board games but do not want to hassle with rule management, Armello might be the perfect solution.

Dragon's Dogma coming to PC is good news

Robert, Chris and I were all big fans of Dragon's Dogma. The game was not perfect, but it did a lot of things right and it is great to not only see it coming to a different audience, but this demonstrates that Capcom has not forgotten about the property.
