I Review What I Want
When I first heard about A Way Out, advertised as a fully cooperative, story driven game, I was apprehensive, to say the least. Looking into it, it looked like it was going to turn out to be a canned story on rails, with little to no compelling gameplay elements. I am very pleased to admit,... Continue Reading →
In 2014, Over the Moon Games released The Fall; the first part in a trilogy of sci-fi, Metroidvania style puzzle games, which was easily one of the best indie games that year had to offer.

At long last, Resident Evil 7 is finally available. After rave announcement at E3 this year, and the release of a progressive playable teaser at the same time, this game has been building up the hype for months. I got to spend some time last night getting acquainted with the game, the new mansion, and... Continue Reading →
ARMS is a totally new IP from Nintendo, and it certainly oozes with their signature style. It combines intense PvP gameplay with quirky characters and features. ARMS is essentially a one on one (presumably) fighting game, featuring characters with extendable arms. Players face off in arenas small enough that they can fight one another without...

Fast RMX is another game that was present for the Nintendo Switch demo event following the presentation last week. However, no actual trailer appears to have been released as of yet. In fact, any direct feed footage, if any, seems impossible to find. Most of what exists is over the shoulder footage of event attendees... Continue Reading →
Skyrim was shown during the original Switch announcement trailer, and was confirmed to be headed to the Switch shortly thereafter. During the recent Switch live presentation, Todd Howard, of Bethesda, gave an introduction to Skyrim, and discussed why he is excited to be releasing the game on the new Nintendo platform. What has not yet... Continue Reading →
