From Publishers Devolver Digital, Developers Skeleton Crew Studio and Thomas Olsson comes a game that, as the saying goes, only comes once in a blue moon.

Bit.Trip Series – Review

The Bit.Trip series is made by Gaijin Games and features several arcade-style rhythm games, each using the rhythm base differently. Before I get into the review portion of things though, I would just like to give an epilepsy warning. I have epilepsy and it has been many years since I’ve

DOOM Eternal (Nintendo Switch) – Review

‘DOOM Eternal’ was easily one of my favourite games in 2020, possibly even robbed of ‘Game Of The Year’ but let’s not get into that. DOOM Eternal by id Software and Panic Button Games, has now been ported over to the Nintendo Switch and I couldn’t be happier to have

Cyberpunk 2077 – Review

I don’t even know where to start. How do you introduce the most hyped, highly anticipated, and just insane game of the decade? Cyberpunk 2077, developed by CD Projekt Red is 8 years in development, 2 release date changes, and a butt load of controversy in the making and It

Ponpu – Review

Once upon a time.. in a galaxy far away.. there was a duck.. who similar to Bomberman had a game named after him… and that duck’s name was Ponpu! When looking at this game, my first thought was a mix of ‘Binding of Isaac’ and ‘Tamagotchi’ looking characters. Ponpu was

“BFF or Die” is a multiplayer puzzle game where players are forced by necessity to work together…OR DIE! This fantastic throwback co-op is brought to us by the developers at 2Awesome Studio and, despite the brutality of the name, is as fun as it is family-friendly. Grab some friends, grab

King of Seas – Preview

King of Seas’ is a charming little look into an up and coming cross-platform game developed by 3D clouds. The game so far is simply a preview, but from what’s on display, it has remarkable presentation and polish. I’ve barely started and already I have high hopes for this game.

Captain Sabertooth And The Magic Diamond – Review

I didn’t know what to expect from a game targeted probably towards children but Ravn Studio, I felt personally nailed the platformer that is “Captain Sabertooth & the Magic Diamond”. It’s vibrant, easy to understand, has great mechanics, is certainly child-friendly, and has funny interactions between characters for an intriguing

Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia – Review

AAARRRGGHH!!!…is by far and away one of my favorite characters in Guillermo Del Toro’s Trollhunters world.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe – Review

Pikmin 3 Deluxe is Nintendo’s latest creation to be ported from an older system into the newer gaming age. Having been released on the Wii U in 2013, Nintendo obviously believed that Pikmin 3 was enough fun that it could only benefit the newer hybrid gaming style of the Switch.

Aside from the original Star Wars Trilogy, one of my all-time favorite movies is The Fifth Element, a story that takes place in a dystopian future and follows a lowly cab driver as he reluctantly becomes the hero. There are flying cars, bright neon signs, a city falling apart, and
