This hawk can’t fly — Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 review

It’s hard to believe that just over a decade ago, Tony Hawk was one of the biggest names in video games. The professional skateboarder had created a hit in the late ‘90s with his arcade-style extreme sports title, and each subsequent release for the next few years continued to

Reach out and hug someone — Dropsy review

Like many others in my generation, clowns have always kind-of given me the creeps. What else could be hiding behind that garish clothing and makeup besides horrible secrets? However, even in spite of his ghastly appearance and troubled past, I’ll be damned if Dropsy isn’t the most lovable

Follow your heart, not a review score

I’ve always felt that my interest in video games is sorta unique from my friends and my peers. On the one hand, I adore them enough to spend time writing and talking about them. Discussing video games, both formally on websites like Gaming Trend and informally on various message

Underground-bound — Undertale review

Impressing the gods is as challenging as it sounds — Jotun review

Have you ever really wanted to like a game, but there was that nagging something holding you back from fully endorsing it? Conceptually it’s amazing, but it has that one fatal flaw that brings it down? That’s the way I feel about Jotun. Jotun is a top-down action-exploration

Greatness from small beginnings – Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection review

When I booted up Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and heard the series’ prolific main theme, I was overcome with a nostalgia for Naughty Dog’s generation-defining trilogy. As the studio seems intent on ending Nathan Drake’s story with Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, it feels right going

Disney Infinity’s Rise Against the Empire is Fully Operational

I’m gonna start off this review with an odd angle. Bear with me and it’ll all make sense. My wife and I have decided to sponsor a kid. He’s 16 years old and,despite the fact that Star Wars is popular enough to have spawned its own
