Supermassive Games is serving up another communal horror adventure just in time for Halloween. Whether you dug Until Dawn and only Until Dawn, or you also played Man of Medan and thought it was decent cheesy fun, or you're removed from this...

There's no way Pikmin 3 came out over seven years ago. Wait, I'll just check...nah, I don't believe it, it must be a typo. Wait, we reviewed it! That info box looks pretty legit. Maybe it did. Either way, it's hard to believe it's been...

The last time we checked in with Pokemon Sword and Shield, it was hosting its first major DLC: The Isle of Armor. It was small, but it wasn't bad! The new locale was a breath of fresh air, especially given that Game Freak was doubling ...

As I sat down to begin playing Ghostrunner for review, I started explaining the basics of the game to my significant other. When I got to the point about it featuring a one-hit kill mechanic, I was questioned why I would play a game that ha...

When "movable fighting man" G.I. Joe first made his way to British shores in the 1960s, he was renamed as the less nation-specific "Action Man." Despite this amusingly bland new moniker, Action Man was still a smash success with British kid...

There was a brief time in my childhood where I was obsessed with the Iditarod. The allure of that type of competition, just a guy and his dogs traveling the snowy wilds of Alaska, was enticing to a more youthful version of me. My obsession ...

Holloween. Ichabod Lame. Pumpkin spice blahtte. These are all subheaders I was itching to use in the event that Pumpkin Jack turned out bad. Unfortunate for my anticipatory pun production, Pumpkin Jack isn't bad. It's not great, b...

For Doom, hope springs eternal. I know it seems counterintuitive for a game based around the powers  of hell, but even if the series starts to slip and falter, eventually, someone will make a new Doom and it will, in all likelihoo...

Ah, here we are with another installment of The Jackbox Party Pack, the insanely popular virtual party game enterprise that takes every nerd’s house by storm each year - although perhaps it’s now more mainstream, as my parents ...

With Team Ninja dropping Nioh 2 DLC every few months, it's tough to catch up and stay caught up. Darkness in the Capital uses the same structure as The Tengu's Disciple, meaning there's a new weapon to learn (Fists and Clawed Fists), a few ...

I really enjoy the Star Wars universe. Not to the point where I know anything about the extended universe, but I like all the movies in their own way. Yes, even the prequels and The Last Jedi. So I'm not the expert that is going to eit...

After several months in Early Access, Echtra Games is pushing Torchlight III out the door. As a quick refresher, in my Steam Early Access review, I called Torchlight III more of a "spinoff than a numbered sequel." I said it didn't "do enoug...

Super Mario Bros. for the NES wasn't my first game, but it was the first cartridge I ever owned. I treated it like a sacred talisman. In between Duck Hunt bouts, I made it my mission to memorize the ins and outs of each and every level. Eve...

This story takes place a long time ago and most video games don't age like fine wine. The rare, great ones do but most don't. The ones that are merely good have a shelf life before they turn. Playing an open-world shooter from 2002 leaves a...

Have you ever had a game that just clicked with you right off the bat? You play one game, one level, one match, or one round, and its charms impress you enough that you're in, no questions asked? Spellbreak is the first game in a long ...

Crash Bandicoot is a legend in my household. As a kid, I couldn't get enough of the 'lil furball, whether it was via the classic platforming series or Crash Team Racing. When I met my wife, as luck would have it, we would both share a love ...

Early on, Genshin Impact was met with a mixed reception due to how similar it was to Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Having finally played it, I can say that it's a lot more than a clone — even if it doesn't fully live up to its inspiratio...

Budding tech industries move quickly and often leave prior products in the dust: it's the nature of the business. I've said this a lot having covered every major gaming-oriented headset since the first consumer version of the Rift was relea...

For the first time since the WWE series of games was handed off to 2K Sports, they've released something drastically different on consoles from the annualized and borderline sim-like WWE 2K series.WWE 2K Battlegrounds features a wide cast o...

The racing game scene was once a far more colorful place. At any time you could be driving a Volkswagen Beetle through Jurassic Park or going up impossible climbs in your futuristic turbo bike. The early 3D era was, after all, a time of exp...

I still can't believe that the original Serious Sam came out nearly 20 years ago. Since then Croteam has broken away from their reputation as "the Serious Sam studio" a bit, having given us the universally acclaimed Talos Principle. Th...

Back in August, I wrote up a preview of Vanillaware's 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim that focused on the prologue to the full adventure. In my post, I said I'd written down several notes to keep track of everyone in the game and the respectiv...

Set in a city controlled by the Evil Crime Syndicate -- a criminal organization that employs everyone from swimmers to clowns to fancy ladies dressed in beautiful gowns -- Super Punch Patrol puts players in control of three cops t...

It seems the most important shared experience of our lives is the one we know nothing about. None of us know, definitively, what happens after death. Certainly, many of us have our beliefs -- an afterlife, reincarnation, total oblivion, our...

The buzz surrounding Hades is spot-on, and it only took one failed escape from hell for me to fall in love with its isometric hack-and-slash combat. It's blisteringly fast but readable even when your screen is full of fiends. It's easy to p...
