You know when you first start any Bomberman game? How you can only lay one bomb at a time, and that one bomb has a dinky explosion? That is pretty much what Explosive Jake is only for the entire game. It doesn’t really get any better or more exciting. Just drop bombs, avoid your own…

Be A Walker (Switch) Review
Essentially a Star Wars AT-ST simulator, Be A Walker is a walk-to-the-right-and-blast-anything-that-moves 2D action game. Pitting you against a throng of enemies that literally throw wooden spears at a metal bi-pedal walking tank, there is a hint of Avatar here and is a wonder how feeble weapons can damage your mech at all. Far from…
Boulder Dash 30th Anniversary (Switch) Review
The fact that Boulder Dash 30th Anniversary exists as a stand-alone, new title in the long running series is a triumph unto itself. Imagine if Nintendo created a Mario or Zelda title just to specifically celebrate an anniversary. Man, one can wish! Seeing that BBG Entertainment went the extra mile to create a new game,…
inbento (Switch) Review
From the makers of Castle of Heart, Warplanes WW2 Dogfight, and Golf Peaks, 7Level’s latest creation is a casual puzzler. Inbento has a lot in common with Golf Peaks in that the player needs to reach the end result by taking specific steps to get there. Also, similar to Golf Peaks, this is one of…
Avocuddle (Switch) Review
Avocuddle might be one of the strangest juxtapositions seen this console generation. On one hand, gameplay is Metroidvania-ish with a focus on exploring a number of large worlds filled with creatures that can be defeated using a number of different unlockable weapons. On the other hand is a stupidly silly plot, graphics that starkly contrast…
ibb & obb (Switch) Review
Designed specifically for co-op play, ibb & obb is a $15 Nintendo Switch eShop download that is simple, quality fun. Using gravity and creative co-op platforming mechanics, this is the perfect game to play with your significant other or youngster. It is important to note this is strictly a 2-player experience; there is no single…
Breeder Homegrown: Director’s Cut (PS4) Review
Originally released as an indie PC game, Breeder Homegrown: Director’s Cut is an experimental adventure title with some visual novel-like themes. Even though it is dubbed as a horror game in the official description, there isn’t too many scary moments in this 60 minute story. Instead, everything is just odd but with a very serious…
Wunderling (Switch) Review
Wunderling deserves a lot of credit thanks to a creative presentation and providing a new perspective on what it takes to be a hero/villain. At its heart, it is a one-button auto runner but how it is presented to the player is what makes it unique and rather special. Without giving away spoilers, the opening…
REVIEW – One Finger Death Punch 2 (Xbox One)
Six years ago, One Finger Death Punch released on Xbox 360 via XNA to critical acclaim. Making a name for itself with stand-out, fast-paced but easy to learn combat, this stick figure brawler turns players into John Wick, Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan all into one. This sequel takes fighting and gameplay to the next…
REVIEW – Otherworldly (Switch)
Designed around jump scares, Otherworldly is a low-cost Switch eShop horror title that provides a creepy atmosphere but little else. Playing like a classic tile-based first-person dungeon explorer, the goal is to find treasure in very dark but very claustrophobic hallways, corridors, and rooms. Fast-burning matches are your own source of light so it is…
