    The Touryst is a Trip

    The Touryst seems destined to be an under-loved game. Despite a fantastic trailer that hinted at the game’s possibilities, it’s identity was still largely ambiguous. So what is the game about? Well, it’s about a tourist. And no, I don’t know why they spell it with a “Y” yet, although my early theory is that […] More

    Turn On Your “Sparklite”

    It’s hard out there for indie games. How do you get any exposure when triple A titles get all the coverage? What’s more, how do you stand out in a sea of other indie games? Not all games are created equal, and when a game is released with just a quick trailer and some screen […] More

    Genius. Artist. Madman. These are just some of the adjectives people have used to describe Hideo Kojima. The creator of the Metal Gear Solid franchise is credited with inventing the stealth genre and redefining the concept of cinematic videogames.

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Day 1 Review

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a great game with lots of little issues. The story works well, the combat is engaging, and the environments are beautiful. There’s only one problem. You’ve already played this game, but it was called God Of War, Dark Souls, Metroid Prime, or Uncharted. Fallen Order takes some of the […] More

    Should MediEvil Have Stayed Buried In The Past?

    It’s been two long years since a full-blown remake of MediEvil was announced for the PS4. I had such fond memories of the original so to get to revisit the world of Gallowmere once again had me really excited. The trailers looked gorgeous and it was reasonably priced. But was it worth the wait or […] More

    The Outer Worlds Day 1 Review

    First off, yes. It is absolutely worth the hype. Obsidian delivers in all the best ways with The Outer Worlds. It’s not perfect, but nothing ever is, and Obsidian’s fingerprint is all over it. At the moment of this article’s writing, I am about 6 hours into the game and had to be pulled away. […] More

    Day 1 Review: The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

    When a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening was announced earlier this year, I was skeptical. The style looked weird and wrong. But Instead of completely writing it off, I took the opportunity to replay the original. I learned several things from that replay. One: Link’s Awakening is still an absolute classic. Two: […] More

    Day 1 Review: Borderlands 3

    Day One reviews showcase early thoughts of recently released games. At this point, I have played Borderlands 3 for approximately six hours, having arrived on the second planet, Promethea, about an hour ago. The Borderlands series has come a long way since the first. Borderlands one featured no real antagonist and minimal storytelling, preferring to […] More
