Resident Evil: Director's Cut  |
Rating of: 4.5/5
|
|
Remix of the original game that includes a version where the clues and items are in different locations giving veterans an excuse to play through it again. |

"Resident Evil"
|
|
Ground breaking adventure that inspired the entire "survival horror" genre. Hugely atmospheric and unique at the time, although the camera angles can sometimes be awkward (ie having to shoot at enemies you can't actually see) and the suspect dialogue and voice acting is occasionally unintentionally hilarious. But it's still a hugely enjoyable blast from the past. |

| Resident Evil 2 |
Rating of: 4.5/5

|
The zombie threat reaches the streets of Racoon City. I personally prefer the claustrophobic single setting of the mansion in the first game, but the graphics, dialogue and voice acting are much improved. Another spooky and absorbing adventure. |

A Fun Laid Back Golf RPG
|
|
Golf Story is a fun little adventure that merges retro style golf with RPG elements and after finishing the game I found myself wishing there was more.
If you've played a golf game on the original NES or pretty much any console golf game before the joystick era you'll know what to expect from this golf game. The game play is similar to that of Mario Golf and Hot Shots games of the past but it... |

A Tetris Battle Royale
|
|
Tetris 99 provides a lot of frantic and intense action and is most enjoyed in short bursts but lacks any real depth to be considered a complete game.
Nintendo's first attempt into the "Battle Royale" genre that has exploded a while back is this game, Tetris 99. It's available for free on Nintendo Switch if you have a Nintendo Online Subscription. When you start the game, a group of 99 player... |

Grinding in Space
|
|
Way back in 1999, as a tender college undergrad, I first played “Armada” for the Sega Dreamcast, which I had received for Christmas during the year of the console’s launch. I never really cared much for SHMUPs in general, but at the time, I was in a mindset where I thought that in order to be a well-read (so to speak) gamer, I should have the best contemporary game from each genre in my collectio... |

| RiME |
Rating of: 2.5/5
|
Oh, Look, an Indie Art Game!
|
|
“RiME” is the third game by Tequila Works, a Madrid, Spain-based Indie developer that previously made a critical splash with time-loop-murder-mystery, “The Sexy Brutale,” and prior to that produced a ‘Survival Platformer’ in “Deadlight.” With their third game, Tequila Works promised “exploration, puzzle-solving, secrets, and enchantment,” which, combined with the game’s visual stylings, made the ... |

Ship Shape
|
|
Insomniac Games began developing videogames way back in 1996, and for the better part of the company’s 20-year life, it has been known for creating mascot-driven 3D Platformers of the highest quality and acclaim, first getting their feet wet with ‘Spyro the Dragon,’ then really driving home their skill with the Pixar-movie-in-game-form ‘Ratchet & Clank’ series. Insomniac was also, effectively, a ... |

The Dawn of Something Great
|
|
Exclusives have always driven fans of systems. Nintendo has Mario, Zelda and Kirby - SEGA has Sonic. While that ultimate rivalry might never be rivaled, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony continue this tradition with the current generation of systems. In the last decade or so I have gravitated toward either Sony or PC, even as Nintendo has made a big resurgence. Sony offers me games I like - and their ... |

Tune In, Turn On - Far Out
|
|
Games don't always have to be huge to make an impact. Case in point, Oxenfree, created by the independent studio Night School - made up of both former Telltale and Disney employees - who turned this game into a hand-crafted, unique adventure. Each piece comes together - art, music, acting and story - to form a tale unlike anything else out there and proves that you don't have to rely on a multi-m... |
