    There are so many things I love about this game, and so I’ll just share the two main reasons why I love it so. First are the aesthetics. I love sci-fi/cyberpunk settings, and what they’ve done here feels original, and is just so gorgeous at times (on PS4), especially with the look of the levels.…

    It wasn’t that long ago that I voraciously binged the first season of this series, and I’m just now finally getting to watching season 2 (which started a few weeks ago). This series is just so damn good, and if you’re not watching it, you’re missing out.

    Let’s start by saying that this is nowhere as good as the original film, and its biggest fault is that it ignores what made the original so genius and fun: the extremely dark comedy that made it feel like satire more than just your average sci-fi action flick. But looking at this new version as…

    Spaceship! Yeah, this was a pretty funny movie, and I definitely had a soft spot for that retro space dude – those Lego sets were my favorite when I was a kid, and just like we see towards the end of the film, I would constantly make battleships using those pieces. Most of the other…

    The game I’ve probably had the most fun playing this year has been TowerFall, and the main reason for that is because it’s just so damn fun to play it with friends in the same room. This means that even though I think it’s overpriced, I’ve already bought an extra PS4 controller, and truth be…

    As I’ve mentioned quite a few times, I really love all of the Star Wars tables that have been released for Zen Pinball 2 – especially to play on PS4, where they look amazing – and so I was pretty excited to get a new set of 4 tables, Heroes Within. What can I say,…

    The HD remake of this game was a recent offering on PS+ – I’m not sure if it’s still available – and I’m sure glad I gave it a whirl. Although I’m well aware of the original, I don’t think I had ever played it, and so never had any particular attachment to this. The…

    I was so incredibly excited to play this, based on all the media I had been seeing, and now that I’ve played it, I can’t help but feel like I’m not enjoying it as much as I should. I’ve admittedly only played a few hours (it’s apparently close to 12 hours long, which is pretty…

    This is the PS4 offering from PS+ this month, and I’ve been having a blast playing it (I think I’m almost done). It’s basically a modern take on the point-and-click adventure genre, and so the game is all about encountering characters and solving puzzles, which amount to you finding items, and then giving them to…

    Holy shit is this game ever fun. I really wish I could have gone through the tutorial when I played it at BitSummit earlier this year, because at that time, I really couldn’t wrap my mind around what I was supposed to do, and it’s only now that I truly understand how this works: use…
