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

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

I'm not really a co-op person. I grew up with friends who weren't really into games, and if they were, it wasn't the ones I played. I was always a single-player kid. It Takes Two is the first co-op-only game that has pushed me to find someone to play this

There's been an ever-increasing discourse between the people and corporate America. American Arcadia takes the worst of this and shows us the ugly side of being slaves to mega corporations. With clear inspiration from The Truman Show and Walt Disney's vision of "The World of Tomorrow" and his original vision

There was never a time when a mainstream Mario platformer was bad—2D or 3D. In the early 2010s, Nintendo was dialing back the more open 3D Mario adventures in favor of more linear 2.5D platforming titles. This was sparked by the popularity of the New Super Mario Bros. series, which

It's baffling to see a game like Mario Kart lead a system launch, and while I'm not the biggest Mario Kart fan, I do enjoy them. They are fantastic to look at, with great controls, characters, and charm that very few other kart racing games have been able to copy.
