Bust a cap in yo’ ass! Back in 2010, when Bayonetta first released, I was only vaguely aware of its existence. Sure, I had seen reviews and a trailer or two for it but I never bothered to actually play it. It apparently sold a decent amount of copies for a new IP but there … Continue reading Bayonetta Review
Microsoft’s First-Party Lineup
My concerns going forward. If you watched E3 this year (or have been reading my blog), then you know that Microsoft surprised everyone with a slate of studio acquisitions. Playground Games, Undead Labs, Ninja Theory, and Compulsion Games are all a part of Microsoft’s first-party studio lineup now. Additionally, Microsoft has founded a completely new … Continue reading Microsoft’s First-Party Lineup
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Review
Lara the Spelunker From the moment I first played the 2013 reboot Tomb Raider, I was in love. I loved the exploration, the tombs, the combat, the platforming, and the aesthetic.

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
