About two years ago, Bethesda released a surprise update to the original Quake. This update added a number of modern QoL enhancements as well as several new playable scenarios. I, like many other gamers, was shocked by both the quality of the release and the sheer amount of content included in it. Well, it seems that history has repeated itself....
It’s a tradition on this blog for me to review a spooky game just in time for Halloween. When it comes to picking a game for these reviews, I try to be versatile and change things up a bit from year to year. With this in mind, I decided to really think outside of the box for this year’s Halloween...
For my readers who follow my backlog reviews, I need to apologize. As you may suspect, my attention has recently been distracted by a handful of new blockbuster games and this has derailed my progress when it comes to grinding out older titles. But fear not! I haven’t been completely derelict on my duty of playing classic games – or...
Rarely do I stop working my way through my backlog to play a new release. However, there are certain franchises that I simply cannot resist. Diablo is one of those. When I started this website over a decade ago, the Diablo games were some of the first titles that I took the time to review. Diablo III launched shortly after...
Ever since I played Chrono Trigger earlier this year, I’ve been extremely curious to see just how Square was going to try to top that experience. For me, Chrono Trigger represented the peak of 16-bit era JRPGs. It had all of the elements that I look for in an RPG and it delivered them with flawless perfection. With that in...
I’m going to start the month off with a review for a game that was added to my backlog after being requested from multiple readers. The game in question is Devil May Cry. This is one that I’ve never played before and one that was not originally on my list. As I said above, about a year ago I asked...
It has been nearly a year since I last posted an update for No Man’s Sky. That’s because it has taken that long for the developers to drop a new version. And boy, is this a big one! No Man’s Sky version 3.0 (aka: Origins) is finally available and there’s plenty of changes in store for players. It seems like...
By now, everyone has heard of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. I posted a review for the modern day Castlevania clone a little over a year ago. And despite a somewhat rough launch, the game was largely successful. Like many, I fully expected that sooner of later we’d receive news of a Bloodstained sequel. Much to my surprise, the developers...
This is a review I didn’t think I’d ever get the chance to write. But thanks to the recent release of Doom Eternal, Id Software has re-released the most elusive entry in the Doom franchise; Doom 64. As many of you know, Doom is one of my favorite retro PC games. I spent countless hours of my youth playing Doom...
It has all led up to this! Whether you’ve been a loyal No Man’s Sky player since the beginning or if you’ve been sitting on the fence waiting to see just what the devs could deliver, this is the update for you. Back when No Man’s Sky was launched was in 2016, it was met with a variety of opinions....
