Select your player. Author’s Note: This is the first in a semi-regular series I’m starting for the blog. As the title states, every entry in this series will be a 100% biased review of the game in question and each one will receive a final score of 11/10. Yes, that’s right, 11/10. The reviews will … Continue reading Mario Kart 64 Biased Review

Yakuza Kiwami Review
A Clash of Clans. As with most games, I’m late to the party. Yakuza Kiwami is no different. Originally released in 2006 (at least in North America) as Yakuza, Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of that first game and was released last year. Having never played the original game, I can’t really tell you what … Continue reading Yakuza Kiwami Review
Console Watch: 2018
Could we get a surprise in 2019? A year or two ago I joked to a friend that the PS5 would probably release in 2019. I was mostly joking since the PS4 was (and continues to be) on an amazing trajectory. I’m pretty sure the PS4 has soared past the 80 million mark and, although … Continue reading Console Watch: 2018
Super Mario 3D Land Review
In a post-Odyssey world, how does an older Super Mario title hold up? Author’s Note: Almost none of the names for the powerups listed below are accurate since I didn’t look them up. For me, part of the fun is to make up names for the items in Nintendo games since they never tell you what they’re called … Continue reading Super Mario 3D Land Review
Review Scores: A Discussion
Should they still be a thing? Almost since the advent of video games, people have reviewed them. And with those reviews came review scores. We’ve all seen them used and we all have probably disagreed with a few over the years. The thing I want to discuss here today is whether or not review scores … Continue reading Review Scores: A Discussion
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Review
R.I.P. Lukas Author’s Note: All of the “screenshots” within this review were taken using a mobile phone. It is more difficult than it should be to take screenshots on a 2DS/3DS thus I opted to use my phone to make it easier. That is why some of them appear crooked. I must be honest with … Continue reading Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Review
Sony and the Crossplay Conundrum
Why won’t Sony just play ball? Much has been said in recent months about Sony’s unwillingness to allow crossplay with Microsoft and Nintendo’s consoles. Indeed, the fervor over its stance reached a peak during E3 this year when Fortnite players discovered that their accounts made on their PS4’s couldn’t be used on the Switch. Although … Continue reading Sony and the Crossplay Conundrum
Assassin’s Creed: Origins Review
The series takes a few steps towards being an RPG. I feel I must start this review off by stating this simple fact: I haven’t played a single Assassin’s Creed game since the original one released way back in 2007. Some may believe that this disqualifies me from reviewing Origins, but I disagree. I believe … Continue reading Assassin’s Creed: Origins Review
That Old Nintendo Charm
The prodigal son returns. Way back in 1996 (ancient times basically), my parents bought my brother, sister, and I a Nintendo 64. Since that moment when we first brought that console home, I have been a Nintendo fan. I say this despite the fact that I have never personally owned a Nintendo home console since … Continue reading That Old Nintendo Charm
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Season Pass Review
WARNING: Contains minor spoilers for the main game. Having just finished the Season Pass for Mankind Divided, I wanted to come back and offer my thoughts on all the content contained therein. While the gameplay has stayed the same as the main game (you can read my thoughts about it here), I wanted to discuss … Continue reading Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Season Pass Review
