Videogame Review: FINAL FANTASY XVI (Playstation 5)

Posted: August 2, 2023 at 11:12 am   /   Videogame Reviews

Rolled credits on FINAL FANTASY XVI last night and all I can really say is…I’m really glad to be done with it. This game sadly wore out its welcome incredibly fast. While being one of the smoothest & prettiest games you can get on Playstation 5, it comes at the cost of short bursts of […]

In 2019 when All Elite Wrestling burst onto the scene, nothing in the wrestling industry was hotter. Fans were crazy for the product and with good reason. The product was fresh. Wrestling fans got a number of fresh faces and an alternative to WWE. It was almost like a revolution. From the beginning there was […]

PAX South 2020: Meet the*gameHERS, A Community For Women Gamers

When I first got an email from the*gameHERS about an interview at PAX South, I was a bit confused. I had to wonder why an all-female gaming group would want me to interview them. The usual assumptions crossed my mind. Could it have been an email blast to the media list? Could they have thought […]

PAX South: THE ARCADE CREW – YOUNG SOULS & KUNAI

Posted: January 30, 2020 at 4:40 pm   /   Videogame Reviews

While I love huge epic games with realistic graphics, I’ve always had a soft spot for simple adventure and platformer games. Being born in the late 80’s, I was exposed to all of the first gaming systems on the market. My first console was a Sega Genesis, where I was hooked on games like Sonic […]

PAX South 2020: Hands-On With EVERSPACE 2

Posted: January 30, 2020 at 4:32 pm   /   Videogame Reviews

Everspace 2 is another game that got me really excited for PAX South. The first Everspace slipped past me when it was released, but I am so happy that I discovered and tested the sequel. I’ve always been a fan of sci-fi and starship combat games, and Everspace 2 hit ALL the right buttons. This […]

PAX South: WRATH: AEON OF RUIN Review

Posted: January 30, 2020 at 4:22 pm   /   Videogame Reviews

The second game we played at the 3D Realms booth was Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, by KillPixel Games. I originally hadn’t planned on testing this out, but I kept catching myself mesmerized by gamers blasting through waves of undead monstrosities. Wrath is a dark-fantasy horror FPS that lives in the same vein as Doom and […]

PAX South 2020: GHOSTRUNNER Hands-On Review

Posted: January 28, 2020 at 9:07 am   /   Videogame Reviews

Let me start by saying Ghostrunner is an extreme exercise in patience and strategy. This cyberpunk parkour game is a test of wits and will, all wrapped up in a beautiful sci-fi package. From the combination of One More Level Games, All In! Games, and 3D Realms, this game made a huge impact on the […]

PAX South 2020: OBEY ME Hands-On Review

Posted: January 28, 2020 at 8:50 am   /   Videogame Reviews

Developed by Error 404 Game Studios and published by Blowfish Studios, Obey Me is labeled a cooperative “holy-punk brawler”. From the description and trailer, it seemed like a stylish modern version of Diablo. Being a huge fan of Diablo III and the quasi-religious setting in general, I was quick to add this to my list […]

PAX South: SOUNDSELF: A TECHNODELIC Review

Posted: January 24, 2020 at 7:58 am   /   Videogame Reviews

Tucked away near the back of the convention hall was Andromeda Entertainment. The promise of tea and a VR meditation experience made me stop dead in my tracks the moment I saw their booth. This company has been in business for only a year, but they’ve already achieved something unique that no other game developer […]

PAX South: SPEAKING SIMULATOR Hands-On Review

Posted: January 24, 2020 at 7:53 am   /   Videogame Reviews

My first game of PAX South 2020 was a doozy! When I saw the press release for Speaking Simulator hit my inbox, the title alone had me curious. My initial assumption was that it would be a VR experience, but I am so glad I was wrong. Developed by Affable Games, this disturbingly hilarious game […]
