Platforms: PC (version reviewed), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch Genre: Arcade racing game with miniature cars You may not want to dismiss Hot Wheels' latest license racing game title. Despite looking like a shameless licensed "all ages" title, and it is meant for the family, the breadth and controls of this arcade racer prove...
Review originally published on 7th October. Denis Villeneuve is shaping up to be this generation's Ridley Scott with a string of great science fiction movies under his belt. These include 2016's Arrival and 2017's Blade Runner 2049, all good films in their own right. Now he can add 2021's Dune to the list, arguably his best and biggest movie to...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC Genre: Fighting Game, Adventure, Anime Demon Slayer (or Kimetsu No Yaiba) is currently one of the most popular manga/anime in the world, and one that I’m proud to be a fan of. It has revitalized shonen anime and last year's Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie Mugen Train broke a bu...
Ah, the idea of an evil Superman or evil Supermen is garnering a lot of attention these days. Look at Amazon Prime Video's The Boys TV series and Invincible animated series. After more than a decade of superhero movies and the MCU, viewers want something different. Something that cleverly subverts or deconstructs comic book tropes. NetherRealm Stud...
Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: OG Search Action Game It's been a decade since we've seen a proper follow-up for the 2D Metroid action-adventure games. Sure, we got Metroid: Other M, but that just felt like a slap to the face for fans of bounty hunter Samus Aran and her power suit and morph ball legacy. With Metroid Dread, developer Mercury...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC Genre: FPS, Open-World At this point, the Far Cry franchise has been running for almost two decades now, but the open-world FPS formula has pretty much stayed the same. The series arguably reached its peak with 2012's Far Cry 3 (and its spinoff, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon)Â and Ubisoft has been...
Video game movies rarely turn out to be any good, especially if they're about video games. An example of a recent good movie might be 2018's Ready Player One, while a rather bad one would be something like 2015's Pixels starring Adam Sandler. Fortunately, Free Guy is more like Ready Player One, but one that's an action-packed comedy starring Ryan R...
It's been a while since the Marvel Cinematic Universe has released a movie that introduces a brand new hero and his/her/their origins. The last was 2019's Captain Marvel. All of the rest since then has focused on existing characters, especially in the lead-up to 2019's Avengers Endgame and the immediate aftermath. How is the first time foray of Mar...
Platform(s): Xbox Series (version played), PS5, Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: Annual football game from EA As someone who's played a heckaton of football games, the most infuriating part of these games, at least in my books, is the defending. Very rarely do the big two of football sims; FIFA and PES got it right. Missed a tackle? Go...
Platform(s): PC (version played), PS4, Nintendo Switch Genre: Half 2D action game, half god simulator Let's just get this out of the way: on first impression, the 2021 remake of the SNES action game-slash-god-simulator hybrid Actraiser is not a heavenly sight. The pre-rendered graphics just make the look really garish and ugly to look at, with ...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X Genre:Â Action-Adventure, Beat-Em-Up, Detective, High School Setting Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's long-running Yakuza franchise recently released its seventh entry and now even its own 2018 spinoff, Judgment, has received a sequel in the form of Lost Judgment. This game essentially still has a lot of t...
Platforms: PC (version reviewed), PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Genre: Action RPG brought back from the 2000s era Diablo 2, as well as its expansion Lords of Destruction, is the most influential and most-packed action RPG for the PC back in the day. But to bring it back in its original form, quirks and all (from its punishing learning curve to...
How long has it been since the last Marvel Cinematic Universe movie? Let me remind you: the last official MCU movie was 2019’s Spider-Man Far For Home, so it’s been a whopping two years. That’s the longest period of time we’ve been without an MCU movie since its debut in 2008 (2009 was previously the only year without an...
Platform(s): PC (version played), PS4, PS5 Genre: 3D Platformer with Well-Integrated Asian Influences Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a beauty to look at. It's gorgeous, its vistas and landscapes are a sight to behold, and the main title character and the Corruption enemies she fights are animated just as fluidly and smoothly as a top-tier Pixar and...
It's been a long time coming, but Star Wars has finally gone anime. It took more than four decades but considering that the roots of Star Wars owe themselves essentially a lot of Japanese and other Asian elements. These include Darth Vader's samurai-like design and George Lucas being inspired by Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress (1958), as well ...
Platform(s): Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D Platformer with A Few Giant Good Boy Segments 2D indie action platformers are plentiful this year, with one of the best starring a robot ninja. Flynn: Son of Crimson from Studio Thunderhorse (and published by Humble Games) offers the same kind of challenges but in a brighter and more fantasti...
Out of all the DC shows, Doom Patrol has been one of the consistently good ones. It somewhat remains a miracle that it hasn't been cancelled, considering all the bizarre and out-of-this-world things that have happened on the show so far. Doom Patrol Season 3 is the first season of the series to be on HBO Max after moving from the now-defunct DC Uni...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PC Genre: Action-Adventure, Indie, Platformer, Deck-Building Elements The main objective of EA Originals is to support creative and unique ideas from indie studios, and Lost In Random by Swedish indie developer Zoinks Games is definitely a shining example of what a successful prod...
Platforms: Xbox Series (version reviewed), Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC Genre: JRPG The more things try to change, the more they stay the same. That's the case with Bandai Namco's Tales of Arise series, the next mothership JRPG series from the Tales team. Even with the brand new coat of paint and art style, not to mention a streamlined battle system,...
Disney's current cash cow plan of retelling tales as old as time (from the 60s onward) with fares like Pete's Dragon to Beauty & The Beast seems to be garnering them a tidy sum, though at the expense of storytelling and film direction quality. The recent retelling of Mulan in 2020 is just above average, but that's being generous knowing that Di...
