My Reviews

With fans being so upset with Diablo III, I have to first say turn here. Torchlight II builds upon the already excellent engine and adds more content, a lengthy campaign, and tons of great loot. The dungeon crawler genre is all about the great loot, leveling your character, and fighting

Revelations is the first Resident Evil game on 3DS and is probably the best portable RE game ever made. Not to mention, probably one of better more recent Resident Evil games. The controls are solid, the story is at least a little interesting, and the monsters are awesome. Of course,

Shooting things is what this game is all about and I mean all about. Borderlands is highly successful in mixing RPG with FPS bringing the best of both worlds to the table. Borderlands 2 is more of the same just bigger and more bad as(s. If you didn’t like the

Max Payne pretty much took bullet time effects made popular by The Matrix and made it mainstream for games. Back in the day, Max Payne was a high-tech graphic noir story by Rockstar Games. It was fun, full of action, and had a great story and character. The second game

The Vita is currently short on good games, especially on the PlayStation Store. This little gem is a physics platformer and is addictive, unique, and very fun to play. You play as a blob that escaped a college laboratory and is on the rampage to take over the world. As

I always come back to Alan Wake every few years because it’s just such a good game. Great combat, storytelling, varied gameplay, well-written characters, and overall solid experience. Almost a decade after the original release I went ahead and played through the PC version again and it’s helped up surprisingly

Undertale took the gaming industry by storm. Its Earthbound inspired humor, innovative combat system, and fun characters drew huge crowds and garnered great sales. The 16-bit RPG was short in length but large in spirit. It's hard to make you really like a game and remember it in less than

Imagine your life as a TV news editor/censor in dystopian England. Now imagine that world with the same humor as Monty Python. The game is actually full of gameplay and it's not just some weird interactivity so it can be excused as a game. Without mastering the controls and gameplay

The 8-bit era of Atari was before my time. I started the next generation with the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo as a young toddler. I still respect and have enjoyed iterations and ports of Atari 8-bit games over the years. What hasn't been done well is anything outside of

I played the original game back when it was released and it really left an impact on the gaming world as a whole. The characters were incredibly memorable, the acting was otherworldly, and the setting Naughty Dog created was just barely scratched. It was one of the last Sony exclusives

The Last of Us is one of gaming's best-told stories. Naughty Dog's original IP came out 7 years prior to this game's release, and many thought we would never see the sequel. The original game ended on a cliffhanger. Joel took Ellie out of that hospital and "rescued" her for

Resident Evil 4 changed the entire gaming industry. It was one of the most influential games of all time. It actually still kind of is. It showed how drastically you can reboot a game and honestly started the whole reboot craze and is the gold standard to live up to.

Dead Space has been one of my all-time favorite games. I picked up the original game the weekend it launched thanks to its critical acclaim and revolutionary gameplay for the horror genre. I replayed the game a few times over the years and just couldn't get enough. The HUD-less stats,

The original Alan Wake is one of my favorite horror games of all time. Its gameplay may not hold up well today, but overall, the game is still solid. The atmosphere really pulled me in when the game was released, and here I am now, 13 years later, living in

"They actually did it!", I exclaimed. As soon as I saw the opening scene and played the first 20 minutes of the game, my jaw dropped. I don't know what happened, but Bloober Team, against all odds, managed to make one of the greatest remakes of all time and put

The magic of Journey has rarely been replicated. The fantastic audiovisual spectacle captured many gamers' hearts and is one of the most memorable games I have ever played. Sword of the Sea can be considered the unofficial spiritual successor. There's clearly some heavy inspiration from Journey here as well as

As much as I love Gears of War, and for how iconic and revolutionary it was at the time, it doesn't need three remasters. Yes, that's right. It was already remastered before with the 2015 Ultimate Edition release. It was originally released on PC for the first time under the

Open-world games have become stale and boring. It appears that developers are merely creating open worlds without any enjoyable activities within them. Mafia's open world is deceptive but beautiful, refreshing but also sort of pointless. Mafia tries to go back to its roots, literally, by bringing us to the times

We have a lot of post-apocalyptic games right now. A lot of them are what the world is like shortly after the apocalypse. Usually a few years or decades. Horizon is one that shows what the world could be like thousands of years after one, and this fascinates me even

Super Mario Odyssey was one of the best games released this last generation. It was imaginative, never got old, and was just the right length, but I also didn't want it to end. There was something insanely addictive about Odyssey that the mainline Mario games always got right. I hadn't
