  • Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

    Up until this week, I had never played a Kirby game. For some reason itā€™s just one those series that passed me by, and Iā€™m not quite sure why. I decided to give Kirby and the Rainbow Curse a try – I know it doesnā€™t really play like a typical Kirby game, but Iā€™d been…

    Considering the, well, letā€™s just be gentle here and sayĀ ā€œdifficult receptionā€ this game has gotten immediately upon release, I went in not expecting much (I was a backer, and so got my copy for PS4). I havenā€™t played that much yet, maybe an hour or so, and what Iā€™m finding is that I donā€™t find…

    Iā€™ve been wanting to play the new Doom game ever since it came out – and the universal praise the game has gotten since its release makes me want to play it that much more. Iā€™ve got so many games on my plate right now that I couldnā€™t justify buying it, but was glad that…

  • Resident Evil VII (Demo)

    Iā€™d never describe myself a fan of the series, but I have spent time playing every game (except the 6th one), although I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever finished one – and my favorite of all of them was Code Veronica on the Dreamcast. I was curious to check out the demo that was released this…

    The Ubisoft conference is being streamed in our studioā€™s largest room, on two giant screens. Iā€™m sitting with a few of my colleagues – about 300 of them – waiting for the segment for our game to start. Weā€™ve all been cheering and celebrating all of the announcements so far, but the most exciting moment…

  • Teen Titans Go!

    Another super-hero series I fell upon recently (also on Netflix) is Teen Titans Go, and I gotta say it makes for a pretty fun watch. Again, like for Batman: The Brave and the Bold (but donā€™t get me wrong, I donā€™t love this like I do that series), I dig the very stylized aesthetics theyā€™re…

    Despite the fact that I still read a lot of super-hero comics (Iā€™m especially enjoying DCā€™s Rebirth stuff right now), I havenā€™t found myself interested in watching the plethora of super-hero cartoons that have been produced in recent years, both on the DC and Marvel sides. The last super-hero cartoon I remember really enjoying was…

  • Voltron: Legendary Defender

    When Netflix initially announced that it was producing a new Voltron series, I found myself not caring at all – even though I watched all of Voltron as a kid, I realized that I donā€™t have any particular nostalgic love for it, like I do for other stuff of the era (and I also preferred…

  • iA Iconic

    Space Invaders with a typographic twist. This is a free game that was released by design studio iA (the company behind the iA Writer app) and visually itā€™s a beautiful thing to take in, withĀ ā€œInvadersā€ taking the form of icons, and a great soundtrack as well. Where it loses me a bit is in the…

  • Star Fox Guard

    Along with Star Fox Zero I also tried playing Star Fox Guard, and again, it just wasnā€™t for me. Itā€™s a neat idea for a game, and itā€™s fun that itā€™s set in the Star Fox universe (with those characters), but the game itself was just stressful for me, constantly touching the screens and then…
