Blood Bowl 2 Review – Unnecessary roughness
Personally, American football has always been a double edged sword to me. On one of its sharp ends, it’s a sport that’s relatively easy to follow and understand, while on the other, the matches take way too long and their pacing is incredibly boring to me. So after hearing about the original Blood Bowl and how…
Read Only Memories Review – The future is bright
I could cite countless reasons why I adore Read Only Memories, but the one that sticks out most is that it’s the first adventure games I’ve enjoyed every second of in a long time. That’s in large part because it eschews a lot of the frustrating design elements of its contemporaries, but also because it’s…
Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star Review – Groooo grooo!
Have you ever read Roger Ebert’s Pokemon: The First Movie review? He succinctly states that “there are times here on the movie beat when I feel like I’m plain in over my head.” I’d like to echo that in regards to Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star. When starting this review, I was well aware that this title was a…
Dragon Quest Heroes Review
It started in perhaps the most simple way possible, a few colored pixels, than a few more, and then a few more. Eventually a world was created. It wasn’t the largest world ever created, nor was it terribly rich in lore, neither was it steeped in history. It was a land in peril however, overrun…
PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate Review
PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is a game with exceedingly robust level design. However, the game is not a hard-hitting tale of descent into darkness, even though that’s the general plot. Across many levels and many stages, you’re tasked with finding resources and saving scientists. Besides that, your job is to deal with whatever strange anomalies and enemies that block your path. You’re…
Bloodborne: The Old Hunters Review – A nightmare to remember
Few developers have as strong a track-record with downloadable content as From Software. Each of the expansions they’ve released for their games from Dark Souls onward have been spectacular, building on the core experience and further refining it. They almost always end up being some of the best parts of those games and Bloodborne is…
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Review
In the age of the HD remasters, it was a wonder it took this long for the Uncharted games to see a re-release. But wonder no more, as the collection is here, and for all intents and purposes, it’s pretty much the way you’d want to play these games if you own a PlayStation 4….
SOMA Review – Don’t Quit on Yourself
SOMA is a fantastic science fiction tale that just happens to be trapped within the limitations of the medium it was designed for. As a horror game, it’s by far Frictional Games’ best, with one of the best conceits and design ever to come out of Amnesia: The Dark Descent‘s developers. Unlike the first Amnesia, which oozed…
