    Day 25 Review: Borderlands 3

    I mentioned in my original review that Borderlands 3 is simply more Borderlands. Having played the entire thing, I must add a caveat. Borderlands 3 is not Borderlands 2. Sure, the core of the series has remained the same, but while Borderlands 2 had a well-written through-line and an interesting villain, 3’s story falls more […] More

    Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

    This review is based on the Nintendo Switch version. What can you say about a game like Crash? I barely remembered playing these games when they first came out, or so I thought. As I went through all three games in the Crash PSX trilogy, only now all dolled up and remastered, I remembered so […] More

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 review

    Hello, Anthony Divers here, gaming addict and horror super fan. I’ve been an avid gamer since being a small child and still consider my consoles my favorite possessions.

    Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled vs. Mario Kart 8

    Gaming is an incredibly diverse community; there are numerous genres of games to choose from, and each developer can try their hand at any type of game they please. However, like all forms of entertainment, some creators seem to do much better than others in a certain area. Disney does superhero movies the best with […] More

    Spyro Reignited Trilogy

      Oh hi, I’m Johnny Malloy, a lifelong gamer who not only was lucky enough to have grown up in the golden era of the NES but is also old enough to remember ColecoVision and even owned and knows what an Intellivision is. I enjoy everything from JRPGs like Ni No Kuni to cutesy 3D […] More

    Weighing in on Sega’s Judgment

    It’s easy to look at the Yakuza series and dismiss it as a Japanese rip-off of GTA (I made the same mistake years ago). With the Western localization of Yakuza 0 back in 2017, the series has gathered an impressive fan base and is now being recognized for what it is: an action brawler with an engaging story, lovable […] More

    The End Is Nigh

    I hold the work of Edmund McMillen, creator of such well-known indie games as Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac, in very high regard. Not just because his games excel at being instantly rapturous experiences, but because they come from a unique, uncompromising, honest place. For all the nods, references, and winks to […] More

    Going Beneath the Surface of The Binding of Isaac

    The Binding of Isaac is about life and death. After far too many passes, with way too many words in them, I decided to open succinctly, completely forgoing any superfluous flourishes to describe a game that revels in its own blunt ambiguity. If you bothered to sit through the pre-credit, crudely-sketched intro, you’d know you’re […] More
