Whether Sonic can dethrone Mario for the better racing game remains to be seen, but in this case, the Blue Blur is on the right track and offers so much more than the Italian plumber. With a continuously expanding roster from SEGA and beyond, exciting and adrenaline-pumping races, tons of nostalgia, smooth online experience with crossplay and much more, Sonic’s newest racer has so much going for it that even Mario fans would be afraid to admit.
The latest Goosebumps game is a fairly short game overall, but a long enough game for its target audience and having two different endings gives it more replay value.

The puzzles are creative and challenging, with two characters who perform different tasks to achieve the same goal. Gloomy Eyes is a simple yet challenging and creative puzzle game set in a whimsical, haunting world, featuring a beautiful tale of forbidden love.
At its core, it is a mobile game, but it works just as well as a console or PC game and having crossplay and cross progression between all the relevant devices opens it up to many more players worldwide.

The original Yakuza 0 was a great way to introduce newcomers to the series while also providing more lore to diehard fans. The Director’s Cut adds some unique features not seen in the original. Now is a good time as any to get into the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series to experience the origins of the Dragon of Dojima and the Mad Dog of Shimano, and it all starts with Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut.
It feels like an inferior version of the Wii game with its slower speed and doesn’t do much to improve in other areas, but its target players are children, and they will find plenty to enjoy. Stunt Flyer is a fun, simple, kid-friendly flying simulation game that keeps kids busy and entertained.

Fans have been demanding Capcom vs SNK, Power Stone and Project Justice, and we finally have them. The other games included, whether popular or not, are well worth checking out too, as they all have their place in fighting game history.

The overall game keeps things simple, engaging, educational, and fun. Even after 40 years, Carmen Sandiego is still stealing our hearts.
The 2018 version of Onimusha: Warlords is a fantastic remaster. It’s a short game that only takes around four hours to complete, but the story makes it worth the purchase. The remastered version of Onimusha: Warlords is an excellent way to get started or reacquainted with the Capcom classic.
Running a pet hotel would be a dream job for many, and this does an okay job of recreating that experience, but there are better alternatives out there. Pets Hotel is a solid effort but has too much going against it.
It’s clear to see the potential that Police Shootout could’ve had, but it does injustice in just about every single aspect. For a game that should make you feel like a fine policeman working to protect and serve, you end up just feeling like an average mall cop on minimum wage.
The latest game adaptation of Bleach is a solid entry for the franchise and as a fighting game. Whether it will stand the test of time remains to be seen, but the potential is there, and it has a solid base that can be built upon for updates and future games. BLEACH Rebirth of Souls is a real love letter to the manga, the anime and most importantly, the fans.
The Mad Dog of Shimano is back, and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is one ship you should not let sail by.
Moons of Darsalon has a lot of creative ideas but has too much going against it. The game can be fun, but constantly losing can be discouraging rather than urging you to keep trying. The controls need a lot of refining as they can dampen the experience.
