Remember Redneck Rampage? That old DOS FPS from back in the 90’s where you control a redneck fighting aliens? Well, what happens when you put a redneck in Egypt and tell him to fight mummies and...

Date Everything. Yes, really. In Date Everything, you’re able to D.A.T.E. all the items in the game. Of course, this means “Directly Acknowledge a Thing’s Existence.” Silliness aside for a moment,...

There will never be enough cooperative story games in this world. I can’t get enough of them. But, I still want them to be well-designed, fun to play, and easily accessible to play with whomever I...

So, confession: I never played Shovel Knight before. I knew of it and I was always curious about it, but I never really got around to actually playing it. Now, thanks to Shovel Knight Dig, the...

There’s something about sitting in the middle of a beautiful landscape, playing Preserve, that makes it even more wondrous. I had the opportunity to write this review while sailing up the Fjords and...

Firstly, let me just say that Frog Legs is silly, short, and fun. It doesn’t take itself seriously, is meant to be completed in one play session, and is less than $3. As such, this review won’t be...

Indie games are often the sources of some of the most innovative ideas out there. A lot of these games also wear their inspiration on their sleeves. It’s impressive when a game can both bring its...

Looking for something new in the roguelite scene, my attention was caught by a handsome tiger warrior in the trailer for Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade, an action RPG with roguelite elements by...

I made it no secret that while I love the first person genre, I’m always on the lookout for games outside of my comfort zone to check out, so when I stumbled across Clash: Artifacts Of Chaos, it did...

Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora (Xbox) Review

I’ll be honest: I am one of those fans of the first James Cameron’s Avatar movie (as of this writing, I still haven’t seen the sequel yet), although I will admit it’s not a perfect film and I do agree that the story itself wasn’t that memorable. However, that really didn’t bother me as the film was just downright gorgeous to look at and I think the tech behind the film is amazing. But, I haven’t seen or even thought about the series since I last watched the first movie, way back in 12th grade, so when I first heard that Ubisoft was making an Avatar video game, it was one that I just went “Cool” and really didn’t think much of it. Even when it was officially revealed as ‘Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora’, I still was just “Cool” and, again, didn’t think much of it, especially when it was released last year. But, after finally being able to play the game, I have to admit something. This game? Kinda flew under my radar as it’s not a bad game! It’s not perfect or anything and I do have some issues with it but, overall, it’s a surprisingly fun game!

SCHiM Review by Daxel

When I first saw SCHiM peek out of the shadows back in 2021, my interest was immediately piqued by its striking contrast art style and inventive gameplay idea. It’s not hard to see the potential for a game involving jumping from shadow to shadow to reach new locations and objectives, since, well, everything’s got a shadow! It’s a concept that has yet to be explored with this type of whimsy. As the game came into focus over the years, the vibe and feel of SCHiM became more established, blossoming into one that focused on nifty platforming and encouraged interaction with every shadow you came in contact with, all while wrapped in a beautifully colored package that had you hopping smoothly across a Dutch/European-inspired city and countryside. I’m glad to report that after years of waiting, I had the chance to play through SCHiM before its release and was relieved that the unique idea became a really fun reality.

Teardown (Xbox) Review

As the owner of the failing Löckelle Teardown Services, you thought you were getting a simple job to teardown a house to make way for a mall, only to be hired by a criminal investigator to gather evidence on the person who originally hired you, along with other dubious jobs coming from other customers. A surprisingly complex plot for a, sadly, mediocre title that shows its hand too early.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood Review

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood may just be the best werewolf game of all time. But seriously, the smooth shifting between forms, the carnage, the exploration and stealth. Earthblood is a gem out of all the other wolf games available. I really hope the developers bring another one to the table, I feel this game was critiqued more harshly than it deserved, especially for really the first of its kind. It has a lot of room to improve, but the bones are good!

AVGN I-II Deluxe Review

It’s no secret that many of us, myself included, grew up watching The Angry Video Game Nerd on YouTube. Created by James Rolfe and Mike Matei, the series is still going strong and still has fans excited for the future, even though I will personally admit that his recent episodes weren’t the best. So, like all long-running franchises, you know there’ll be merchandise and, today, I want to focus on the video games, in particular ‘The Angry Video Game Nerd I-II Deluxe’, which combines both ‘The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures’ and ‘The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures 2: ASSimilation’ into one package, along with a third game ‘The Angry Video Game Nerd in Tower Of Torment: The Final Chapter’. Is this package worth your money or should you spend your money elsewhere (Couldn’t think of a good AVGN quote, sorry!)
