Joey Davidson's Reviews

Hey there, I'm Joey. I've been writing about video games on the internet for more than a decade now. You'll find my work, both reviews and features, on all sorts of sites.

Owlboy was an indie game before the indie game movement really caught on. It's also really, really good.

Paper Mario: Color Splash is a beautiful game that leans on the classic paper aesthetic to deliver a funny, charming and virtually tactile experience.

Respawn created a fun campaign, addressed complaints from the stress test and packaged a great experience in Titanfall 2.

I liked this game. A lot. As someone who loves the Gears franchise and found myself frustrated with its recent direction, it’s good to have a proper Gears game that feels like a new chapter in the original saga.

Job Simulator is about taking remedial tasks, giving players ridiculous tools and letting them goof off. It's wonderful.

If you have friends over often, dig local couch play in gaming and have the right sense of humor for an absurd dodgeball game, Stikbold! is great.

Nintendo's asking for $39.99 for the 3DS version of Smash. Quite honestly, this game meets and exceeds that value, no doubt about it.
