The original Halo was a marquee title in 2001, popularizing the first-person shooter genre on consoles. The game did so well it practically created the Xbox monolith. While the series remained strong throughout […]

Despite being one of Nintendo’s biggest franchises, the company hasn’t released many games in the Metroid series. After the failure of Other M, it seemed the fate of the series will remain dormant for long. […]

When I reviewed Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD two years ago, my number one question was “why was this the entry to get the HD treatment?” The more logical approach would be to bring back the first couple of […]

Almost 20 years ago, the Nintendo Gamecube released. Besides some familiar faces, Sega launched a new series on Nintendo’s machine known as Super Monkey Ball. The simple premise of rolling a monkey in a ball to […]

Let’s cut to the chase. Ghost of Tsushima was my favorite game of 2020. Sucker Punch managed to create their magnum opus that transcended a lot of their previous works. The samurai tale of Jin Sakai was akin to a […]

Very few video game franchises can claim to have a legacy of 30 years. This past June, Sega’s Blue Blur celebrated his 30th anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, Blind Squirrel Games have collaborated with […]

When Bayonetta came out 10 years ago, it was one of the premiere action games of that generation. The tight gameplay, ludicrous action and infectious style made it an instant classic. The franchise found a home […]

When an anime becomes popular, a game adaptation should be in the cards as well. One such example is 2014’s Tokyo Ghoul. A shounen (i.e. “boys”) anime with a horror twist. Naturally, adapting the gruesome action […]

As 2019 comes to an end, so does the final selection of free games for Xbox One and PS4 respectively. Did they end the year on a good note? Let’s see what’s in store for PlayStation Plus and Games with […]
