Review: Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time-Wonderfully Nostalgic Torture
Yes, yes, I know I’m a few months late on this one but I couldn’t get it at launch! Sue me. The day is June 19, 2019. At the time, I just finished writing my review for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled and was getting ready to post it. Then literally, no joke, as I was about to…

Review: Yakuza: Like a Dragon- When One Dragon Fades, Another Rises.
Back in 2015 when I was still a bright-eyed, innocent 21-year-old with too much time on my hands, I gained my first exposure to Sega’s Yakuza franchise with the release of Yakuza 5. I had only seen the cover arts for the first and third games before that and even then it wasn’t a strong…

Review: Hades-Every Death Means Something
If there’s one thing I love about the internet, it’s seeing what does and doesn’t become viral, especially with video games. You could have this giant, expensive ass game with a ton of marketing behind it completely bomb and attain disinterest while a smaller, much more artistically driven indie game gets pushed to the moon by players…

Review: POSTAL 2-Uhhhhhh.
Well, I finally did it. Like I said in my previous review, I’ve been very keen on trying out the POSTAL series for a while now. I won’t repeat a ton of what I said but I first became interested in the series, more specifically POSTAL 2, around middle school or so. I watched a ton…

Review: POSTAL Redux-Uh.
What the fuck POSTAL is a series that I am both familiar with and unfamiliar with. Ever since I first got proper access to the internet I’ve had POSTAL’s infamous reputation shoved in my face. “One of the most offensive games of all time”, “The game that spits in the face of decency”, “The game…

Review: Pumpkin Jack-A Small Pumpkin Can Still Be Scary
When you’re as into video games as I am, you tend to follow a lot of news and review site on social media. You do this so you can keep up to date on announcements and trending topics surrounding the game industry but sometimes it can lead to you getting exposed to games you weren’t…

Review: Baki the Grappler (Season 1 + 1996 OVA)-A Warrior’s Journey
Did you guys know I actually don’t watch a ton of anime? Or television shows for that matter? I have what I would like to call “Idiot Moron Brain”, and that Idiot Moron Brain makes it so that if the piece of media I’m consuming isn’t a movie or a game, or even a manga…

Review: The Street Fighter II Series-Building Upon Perfection.
Just a small warning. This gets a bit personal near the end. On August 30th, 1987, Capcom released the first entry in the Street Fighter series. The game wowed players with its innovative control scheme and color cast of characters and was a massive success in arcades. Seeing money in this Capcom began work on…

Review: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy-Spin It Again, Sam.
I’ve mentioned before in several reviews, mostly these two that I absolutely adore the Crash Bandicoot series. I grew up playing the second and third games as a kid and while I was never the BIGGEST fan of the first one I still enjoyed it for what it was. Growing UP as a Crash fan, on the other…

Review: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2- The Bird Man Rides Again.
I tried skateboarding once when I was 12. I fell off the board and fell into someone’s gravel driveway and my friends wouldn’t stop calling me “Stony Hawk”. I loved loved LOVED Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater when I was a kid. While I was never into the sport itself (please see above) that never stopped…
