OpinionImpressionsIce Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure Feels Like A PS2 Game And That’s A Good Thing
The last Ice Age film or short came out back in 2016. There has been the talk of a new film or TV series, but nothing has actually released in the last 3 years. Until late last week. For some reason the world received a new Ice Age video game, starring Scrat. It’s weird that…

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.

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…

Sea Salt, released today on PC, Xbox One, and Switch, flips that script by putting the player in control of a monstrous horde that terrifies seaside communities full of humans who, rather than being afraid, are ready to…

OpinionI Wish I Could Just Buy My Favorite Apple Arcade Game
Grindstone is probably the best mobile game I’ve ever played. I’ve spent much of my downtime over the last few days fighting through its monster-slaying puzzles. There’s just one thing: I would prefer to simply buy it rather than playing it through my Apple Arcade subscription. Apple Arcade is a fairly new subscription service that…
