A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
There are only two types of people in the world: those that like Jump King and those that do not like Jump King. Personally, Jump King isn’t a game for me but that doesn’t mean I don’t “get it.” There are players that might enjoy the ridiculously high difficulty; I am just not one of […]
Designed strictly for online co-op play, We Were Here Together is a unique puzzle experience that constantly teeters on the border of being entertainingly satisfying and painfully frustrating. Although some situations are better than others, this co-op experience will undoubtedly strengthen the relationship with your gaming buddy if you manage to see it through to […]
Heavily inspired by classic 16-bit brawlers, The Takeover is a brand new “punch everything in the face and move to the right beat’em up” that looks and plays like a title that was never released during the early 90s. If you enjoy the genre, especially when fighting side-by-side with a co-op partner, then there is […]
Playing as a killer being guided by an AI, Resolutiion is a top down action game surround in mystery. Although the environmental art is strong and there are some cool flourishes, like the blood splattering effect, the gameplay never reaches anything beyond mediocre. Since the playable character is such a tiny on-screen sprite, the emphasis […]
Ported from PC, Genetic Disaster is a 4-player co-op twin stick shooter that features goofy mutant playable characters in randomly generated environments. The gimmick is each character has a unique skill set which helps create a balanced party in multiplayer matches. Unfortunately, Genetic Disaster never achieves must-play greatness and doesn’t stand out from the crowd […]
In fall of 2018, we played, reviewed, and streamed Ultimate Fishing Simulator on PC. You can check out this coverage here. The Xbox One version remains pretty much the same game, for better and worse. For better, this title retains the same satisfying RPG mechanics to keep the rod in your hands. When a fish […]
Standing out thanks to its original Gameboy visual charm, Awesome Pea 2 is a simple platformer that offers moments of challenge, only costs a few bucks, and is perfect for Achievement hunters. It isn’t as difficult as something like Super Meatboy or those brutal levels in Super Mario Maker, but this reach-the-exit platformer is playable […]
In your favorite anime, you know when two characters charge up with bright flashing lights, then fly at each other at super speeds, then fight with the force of planets behind them, often leaving a trail of debris in their wake? Fly Punch Boom! is a fighting game that let’s players carry out these over-the-top […]
Aqua Lungers is essentially a merger of Nintendo’s Game & Watch Octopus handheld game and Mario Bros. (not be confused with Super Mario Bros. aka Mario 1). It is an interesting mix of co-op competitive play and controls very well. Taking control of a deep sea diver, the goal is to swim to the bottom […]
Spirit of the North is a minimalistic adventure game designed in the shadow of titles like Journey, where the focus is placed on visual story telling through navigating a vast, whimsical landscape without dialog, a hud, or enemies to kill. Sadly, this title misses pretty much every mark on what it sets out to do. […]
