Let’s get right to it: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the most refined, feature rich and polished version of Smash ever released. This was the expectation I had going in and Nintendo did not disappoint. Continue reading “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Review: A Celebration of Video Game History”

The original Katamari Damacy was a bizarre, challenging, hilariously original PS2 game that defied conventions and was a critical and commercial success. While Namco released a few sequels, the once vibrant series faded from public view and hasn’t seen a proper entry since the previous generation of consoles.

In Lara’s latest adventure she heads out into the jungle, inadvertently starts off the apocalypse, brutally murders a ton of people, figures out elaborate ancient physics-based puzzles, goes big game hunting, buys heavy weaponry from fruit vendors and still finds time to take a dip under a few waterfalls.

In just a couple weeks Fallout 76 will be out in the wild and this past weekend I got the opportunity to try out the Beta for myself. There’s a lot of questions surrounding an online Fallout and how far it will deviate from what makes the series so popular. While Bethesda has an online Elder Scrolls, there’s a number of features about Fallout that may not translate as well. Continue reading “Fallout 76: Beta Impressions”

Finally, after much delay and anticipation, Nintendo has a Souls game on their platform. Seeing the FROM SOFTWARE logo appear on the Switch screen just reminds me of how far Nintendo has come in the last few years. Continue reading “Dark Souls: Remastered [Switch] Review: Death on the Go”

In a tense moment, I found myself with no other option than to dive in the water and swim alongside the edge of the dam. I heard gunfire from somewhere in front of me, but the circle was closing in and I had to move. I found some stairs that led me up to a road along the top of the dam, and without hesitating I ran to the closet door. Inside there was a medical syringe, which I jammed into my arm, and a few bullets for guns I didn’t have. Continue reading “Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Review: Into the Black”

It’s remarkable how well Clover Studio’s Okami still looks and feels for a game that came out originally on the PS2 way back in 2006. At the time, Capcom was publishing some industry defining games, coming off the heels of Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube. Clover Studio, the team that developed titles exclusively for Capcom (which has since sort of morphed into Platinum Games) was following up their incredible work on Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2. In a bit of an underdog story, many publications held Okami in even higher regard than that year’s hugely anticipated Zelda entry, Twilight Princess.

With no shortage of Metroidvania or rogue-like indie games in 2018, Motion Twin’s Dead Cells arrives with something to prove. While in early access on the PC for some time, Dead Cells’ final build is now available on all platforms. What I discovered was an enthralling, challenging, single-player 2D action platformer that wasn’t afraid to bring new ideas into the fold. Dead Cells’ gameplay DNA is heavy on combat customization and throws players into interconnected environments that splinter off into multiple paths — all of which reward speed and tactical coordination. Inside these levels Motion Twin draw on a number of influences that when tossed into the cauldron conjure an adventure that is both masochistic and pleasantly rewarding.

One of the most distinct memories I have of my original NES system was playing Marble Madness with my friend. It was one of those situations where you played the games you had and you learned to love them all, regardless of their actual ‘quality’. That’s how I learned to love games like Fester’s Quest, and The Adventures of Bayou Billy. Marble Madness is a punishing action puzzler, with severely touchy controls, with zero of the warmth found in something like Mario Bros. or Zelda, but yet there we were, rolling this marble around and having fun.

Released originally on PC in 2017, Hollow Knight is a kickstarter-backed Metroidvania 2D action platformer that is as challenging as it is beautiful. Now available on Switch, Hollow Knight comes complete with all the free content packs released last year and a number of game updates. The first thing you’ll notice when you start your journey is how gorgeous Hollow Knight looks and how beautiful the piano based soundtrack is by Christopher Larkin.
