OpinionImpressionsMediEvil Looks Great But Has A Lousy Camera
When I think of classic PlayStation games, I think Crash and Spyro. If I think a bit harder I eventually remember MediEvil, a wacky, gothic-inspired action-adventure game released in 1998 for the original PlayStation. It didn’t set the world on fire, but it did get a sequel before the series mostly went dormant. Now, after…

OpinionImpressionsAn Adorable Robot-Themed Role-Playing Game Totally Disrupted My Best-Laid Gaming Plans
Into a crowded fall gaming season packed with games I had planned to cover weeks in advance comes Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers, which took me completely by surprise. It’s an incredibly charming and cartoonish turn-based role-playing game filled with cute kids and even cuter robots. Out this week for the PlayStation 4 and Switch, it’s…

OpinionImpressionsThe New King Of Fighters Mobile Game Kicks A Fair Amount Of Ass
Out now on iTunes and Google Play, The King of Fighters Allstar takes the expansive roster of fighters from SNK’s long-running fighting game series and turns them into collectible characters in a side-scrolling beat-em-up action RPG. It’s very flashy and obnoxiously free-to-play, but I’m actually having a great time. It’s a neat new way to…

OpinionImpressionsThis Obscure Sega Puzzle Game Is Pretty Clever
Sega Ages Ichidant-R doesn’t have a lot going for it in terms of its sales potential. It’s out today on the Switch in the middle of a massive content explosion for Nintendo’s platform.

OpinionImpressionsBorderlands 3’s Eridium Event Only Highlights How Worthless The Currency Is
We’ve reached the third week of unique Borderlands 3 events, and this time around Gearbox has seen fit to tweak the numbers to make Eridium, a secondary currency that’s much harder to find than regular money, drop more frequently. The only problem is that there’s still very little on which to actually spend these purple…

It’s been nearly a month since the official September 19 launch of Apple Arcade. With my free 30-day trial of the subscription gaming service on the verge of expiring, I ask myself if I’m getting enough out of it to give Apple five of my hard-earned dollars to keep playing.

OpinionImpressionsThe Witcher 3 Does The Best It Can On The Switch
How did CD Projekt Red and Saber Interactive get the gorgeous, resource-hungry role-playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt running on Nintendo’s plucky hybrid handheld? Lots and lots of compromise and a fair amount of blur. The Witcher 3 comes to Switch tomorrow. On the tiny console, the lighting is flat, the textures are rough,…
