Half-Life: Alyx Release Year: 2020 / Developers: Valve The Half-Life series has built a reputation of pushing the industry forward in some capacity, so trying to fill those shoes with a new game could’ve proved daunting. fortun...

Another month in 2021, another month of light game releases and dodgy release dates. Still, I managed to whip up five games to look forward to, so here they are. The game has to release on at least one major systems (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbo...

The ranking of Wolfenstein continues, and this time it’s going over not only the most iconic entry in the series, but one of the most iconic shooters of all time. As always, you can find the rank itself at the bottom. So, let&rs...

In 2018, I made a blog about The Tortured Path, a new type of zombies experience in Call of Duty: WW2. I described the experience as a “step in the right direction,” as it managed to take the zombies experience and condens...

Axiom Verge Axiom Verge is a Metroidvania platformer about a scientist who is injured in an accident and wakes up in an ancient alien land. I originally played and reviewed this game years ago, but I was rather harsh on the game. Over...

Another month, another monthly list. This year is so far shaping up to be a relatively quiet one in terms of releases, but that doesn’t mean nothing is releasing either. So without further ado, let’s get into the rules. Th...

To say the release of Cyberpunk 2077 has been rocky is a bit of an understatement. Despite all of these issues, many people swear by the game itself, and many critics have given the title high review scores. Even with my tempered expe...

Before Call of Duty, Far Cry, and many more first-person shooters, there was Doom. And before Doom, there was Wolfenstein. The iconic FPS franchise is my latest rank, and I plan on playing every Wolfenstein release with possible excep...

Another year, another Call of…well, you get the point. Apparently I don’t, however, because I keep buying these damn games. I tell myself I won’t get the new game, then I look at the RPG mechanics and setting, and n...

What are the best video games of all time? That is an impossible question to answer. The games industry is still evolving, and what people consider “the best” is subjective. Despite this, media outlets left-and-right have ...

New year, same old list. January tends to be the quietest month of the year in terms of releases, but there are still releases happening, which means this list must also exist. That being said, my number one pick is likely going to be...

This is it. The end of the year. It’s been a very strange year, but the games industry kept rolling o. Before we wave 2020 goodbye and look into what 2021 could bring, it’s time to look back and see what this year had to o...

Mario turned 35 recently, and Nintendo celebrated by creating a three-game collection of 3D Super Mario games. As simple as that may sound, anyone who knows about this product knows about the…curious decisions made around the g...

There are many video game award ceremonies that happen every year, awarding the best the year had to offer. Much like the movie industry, however, there is only one award that truly matters in the minds of many: The Game Awards. Every...

Note: Review code provided by Terminals.io and Gunfire Games/THQ Nordic Remnant: From the Ashes was one of my top games of 2019, so a new game taking place in the same universe piqued my interest. Interestingly enough, this game was a...

“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” This is a famous quote from The Godfather Part 3, but it also applies to the life of Kiryu. It’s funny to think that a game about the Yakuza stars a character wh...

Project Warlock Project Warlock is first-person shooter in the aesthetic of classic Doom. It can be hard to keep up with all of the modern shooters with retro inspirations coming out, so what does this game do to set itself apart fro...

The one hobby I have outside of video games is rock climbing. Unfortunately, it is a sport that isn’t accurately represented in most games. The closest I have seen to “accurate” climbing is The Climb, but from the ga...
