Rock Band was a moment in gaming history that I’ll never forget. As one of my favorite games to play offline and online coop with friends, Rock Band (and Guitar Hero for that matter) were a daily part of my stress relief routine at one point. Personal playlists of songs that I’d wail away on the guitar would repeatedly be played, much to my family’s discontent as Foo Fighters, Metallica, Silversun Pickups, and Queen would blast through my speakers! Of course, let’s not forget the annoying rep...

When it comes to having a good strategy RPG you must have a few things. You need depth, a decent storyline, and balanced progression. Thankfully, Halcyon 6 Starbase Commander has all three and much much more!
Perfect Blend…
Begun as a Kickstarted Square Enix Collective project by developer Massive Damage, Inc, Halcyon 6 has managed to blend the best aspects of games like XCOM, FTL, and even a bit of old school JRPGs like Final Fantasy. The result is an addictive strategy RPG that will satisfy...

Marvel’s Avengers feels like a game that was released a few years too late. While not tied to any movie or Disney Plus show that Marvel has released, developer Crystal Dynamics has made some interesting choices.
When it comes to console games that unify the Avengers, the first ones that come to mind are either Lego games, fighting games, or the Ultimate Alliance franchise. Since the roster is substantial, typical action adventure third person games are treated more like an arcade-y beat-em-up...

Only 12 years after the last in the series, Kingdom Under Fire 2 has finally arrived in the States. An ambitious mix of hack’n’slash, MMORPG, and strategy, Kingdom Under Fire 2 felt like it would have ended up in video game purgatory. Once revealed at E3 2014 during a PS4 presentation, many fans of the Xbox original named Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders awaited with googly eyes. Now that it has arrived on PC, we have to see what goodies lie underneath the hood of nostalgia.
Kingdom Under Fi...

Zombie games hold a significant spot in my gaming library. World War Z would seem like it would fill a unique slot in my role as a digital zombie slayer. So the real question is…what went wrong?
World War Z
First things first. World War Z is not a bad game. In truth, it is actually pretty good. Instead, World War Z just feels as if it doesn’t really know what it wants to be. In a genre where you can definitively point to what each zombie game does really well, World War Z seems to miss that m...

Middle Earth: Shadow of War took their iconic Nemesis system and expanded it much to fans delight. By making boss and sub boss characters a kind of randomized loot system that can help and hurt your chances of success in the game, the replayability and custom experience is one that should not be missed.
While fighting against the Armies of Sauron, there is a screen that shows the ranking system of a number of Uruk leaders. The ones closest to the screen are the weakest and those in the far po...

As tabletop games go, sports related games like Hoop Godz are hard to come by. Just googling basketball board games brings up a ton of old school strategy sim styled stat intensive bore fests. Thankfully, Hoop Godz is a fast paced competitive street ball game with a system that makes sense.
Sports like basketball are fast paced and involve a lot of simultaneous player movement and positioning. As a result, having a game system that can account for that is critical. Hoop Godz achieves this by ...

The Playstation 5 and the Xbox Series X next gen consoles are here…sorta.
Thanks to the pandemic and the typical shortage of supply during console release, the next gen console ‘dawning’ is probably postponed for many. Whether you are short on funds or just aren’t quick enough to click ‘Add To Cart’ when next-gen supplies periodically arise, have no fear. Current gen consoles are deep into holiday sales and the getting is so good!

When a school girl uniform is considered ‘armor’… Dead Or School has an interesting look that will attract many. What lies beneath will be a bit hit or miss though. As a post-apocalyptic platformer, this indie title throws creatures at a heroine just looking to experience the paradise called school. The story, based on the manga Machine Doll Nanami-Chan, is a pretty standard anime styled offering that has a bit of eroticism woven in the dialogue and artwork. Blushing moments aside, the action...

With the coming release of Sign O The Times Super Deluxe Edition, I’m beyond excited. Born from a time period when Prince churned out a ton of music and bootlegs that I’ve loved for ages, Sign O The Times has personally personified what ‘purple music’ truly is.
As a Prince fan, I’ve always felt like my dedicated fandom was a bit late to the game. As I’ve debated fav albums and tracks with my wife, I’ve realized how unfamiliar with his pre-Purple Rain work I am. In fact, I would probably say t...
