Table Top Racing: World Tour – Nitro Edition brings racing to the table quite literally as players race past towering potted plants and giant cereal boxes. It has an aura of Micro Machines about it and features plenty of special race types and cars to unlock. However, for a game that launched originally on mobile,

Have you ever wondered what a Shakespearean-based adventure game but in the point of view of the heroine instead of its main character would be like? Studio Golden Glitch sets up that premise with their upcoming point-and-click adventure game Elsinore, which follows the chronicles of protagonist Ophelia and is set in the world of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
I played the original Borderlands when I was fifteen years old. At the time, it was one of my favorite games ever, thanks to an identity and personality I had never seen before in games. The art, the writing, the humor; it was all new to me. I knew that the game was unique and one that
Puzzle games go hand-in-hand with portable devices. There’s something snappy about booting up a puzzle while waiting in a doctor’s office, passing the time during commercials, or simply taking a break. I often find myself wanting to dabble for a minute or two just to look up and see half an hour has flown by.
NeatherRealm Studios has been on a hot streak since 2011 when the developer rebooted its notoriously violent fighter with Mortal Kombat. Since then, the Chicago-based studio has released three other fighters – one of which is Mortal Kombat X, and the other two from the DC Comics fighting game series Injustice – all of which
Katana ZERO was not the game I was expecting. Sure, it’s a 2D action platformer. I knew I was going to get some great combat elements just based off of what I had seen online and from the little I played during my time at PAX South earlier this year. However, what hooked me wasn’t just
Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is a bit of an anomaly compared to other Dragon Ball games on the market right now like Xenoverse 2 and FighterZ. Whereas those games are hands-on fighters, World Mission is a turn-based card game that still maintains the speed longtime fans of Dragon Ball expect from the series. While the game does suffer in some aspects due to the transition
Yoshi has had a mixed history as being the main protagonist. Although there were some games in the past – Yoshi’s Cookie and Yoshi’s Safari – the Yoshi game that inspired the look and feel of every Yoshi game after it is 1995’s Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island. Its cutesy look – in this
Earth Defense Force has always won its fanbase over by being one of the most self-aware games out there. It’s simplistic and straight to the point, but that’s all part of its charm. The series has been a ton of fun in the past, but if you read my review of Earth Defense Force 5 you know that
I remember the first time I played a Phoenix Wright game. It was back during a time where my local mall had both a GameStop and an EB Games. My pal Alex had been recommending this game where you play as a lawyer for quite some time. My parents had just reneged on letting me
Graphics aside, Three Fields Entertainment’s Dangerous Driving feels like a racing game straight out of 2005. From the UI to the focus on speed, thrills, and arcade-like action as opposed to realism, the game certainly elicits a feeling more akin to Project Gotham Racing and Burnout, which this game’s developers created at Criterion, as opposed to modern
Being let down by a game that’s nearly great can be more disappointing than playing a game that’s outright terrible. When the potential for a game that could be something great is there, one can’t help but think about what could have been. Unfortunately, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is one of these titles
The concept of being stuck in another world, but with Idols. This is the idea that The Caligula Effect: Overdose throws at you from the start, and uses it to tell a somewhat confusing story. With strong gameplay elements and interesting character designs, it’s an unbalanced title due to the lackluster environments and forgetful story
I have always been a huge fan of the city-building genre, mostly as a way to control people other than just my poor fiancé. Naturally, I gravitated towards the Tropico series when I saw Tropico 5 on sale on the PlayStation store a few years ago. Something about the graphic representation of a warm, island
When Generation Zero by Avalanche Studios first caught my eye, I knew I had to see what this game was about. Being a child of the 80s, it would be rude not to dip my toes in the water of a title that is crafted in the decade where I have so many cherished memories.
The final episode of The Walking Dead: The Final Season, “Take Us Back,” carries with it a lot of weight, even more so than the usual season finales that we’ve come to expect from other episodic games, Telltale or otherwise. This final episode not only has to wrap up a season of narrative storytelling, but also
From just the first episode of Life is Strange 2 when it released last fall, there was a lot to unpack from the long-awaited next installment of the episodic series from Dontnod Entertainment. By taking place in a new area and following a new set of characters, the first episode (naturally) had to give players a
There is something about playing a loot shooter that has practical design sensibilities that are just refreshing. Especially, in my case, coming off Anthem, those feelings are increased tenfold, The Division 2 is a “games as a service” done right. Despite some bugs and one very frustrating mission, Ubisoft’s follow-up is a worthy sequel with a ton
It’s hard to believe we’re basically eight years out from the 3DS’ western launch. I still remember getting it around launch day in middle school at GameStop alongside Pilotwings Resort and LEGO Star Wars III (the system didn’t have the best lineup of launch titles). Since then, the 3DS has quickly elevated itself to be
One Piece: World Seeker has so many solid ideas on paper that, if executed properly, should’ve made it one of the best-licensed anime games on the market right now. However, as you might’ve guessed, the game presents these ideas well enough but never fully executes them properly to make for an enjoyable, and more importantly, fun
Mystery is the heart of The Occupation, from both its larger goal of presenting a moral quandary for the player to navigate and discover, to the smaller portions of how to get past a locked door and discover more clues for various leads. Taking place in the late 1980s in a not too dissimilar version
Left Alive is a culmination of unoriginal ideas that never click together to create a cohesive gaming experience in 2019. Ultimately, it isn’t fun, and it’s certainly not good. On the surface, Left Alive appears to have some potential but upon hopping into the game’s first chapter, all hope seemingly washes away in an instant when you have
Coming eleven years since the last mainline installment in the series released, it’s not hard to overstate that a new, “proper” Devil May Cry game has been a long time coming. And before we get too thick into the rest of this review, let me just clear the air by saying that as much as it’s
Every now and then there comes a game that just completely catches you off guard. Each year I’ll typically pick up a game that looks visually appealing to me and just say “Eh, why not.” Surprisingly, this time around it just so happens to be a real-time strategy game, a genre I admittedly don’t have much experience
There’s been a lot of hubbub about Anthem since it was originally revealed back at E3 2017. As a drastic departure from BioWare’s previous games, many seemed hesitant to see the beloved developer join the ranks of Destiny, The Division, and Warframe with its own take on the loot shooter sub-genre. Despite the concerns though, I was always very much
The Dead or Alive series has always been able to carve out its own unique niche in the fighting game space. I’m not normally into 3D fighters, and I prefer 2D, but I was drawn in by Dead or Alive 4’s fun mechanics and have stuck within the mainline series since. That being said, I
Reboots, remakes, and remasters. The three R’s that have, in some ways, defined this generation. Just within the past three years, we’ve seen Ratchet & Clank reimagined, Crash Bandicoot revisited, and the unfortunate return of Bubsy. There have been some decent video game comebacks but a good portion of them are fueled by nostalgia, sacrificing
I’ve always loved the Trials series. It’s fun, goofy ragdoll physics combined with the challenging but not disparaging gameplay always makes for a fun time. When I was able to get my hands on an early version of Trials Rising at E3 2018, I noted that all of the above aspects were still present, but I was worried that it
With every Mario RPG game comes its own unique gimmick, and Bowser’s Inside Story perhaps has one of the most memorable. Enhanced for the Nintendo 3DS, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story encapsulates some of the best this subseries has to offer: a colorful art style, joyous music, quirky humor, sharp writing, a fun “other”
After a year full of action-packed and high adrenaline games, I was really happy to kick off the new year with what I thought would be a rather relaxing yet still challenging game. When I first heard about Elli, I immediately thought it would be a game for me. I love puzzle games and I always love a
