Rogue Explorer Review
Roguelikes remain pretty popular in gaming, especially when done right. “One more run” always has a way of turning into several more. Rogue Explorer is the latest in the genre, and it too maintains that “one more run” addiction. It also carries with a much more casual feeling. Is Rogue Explorer worth your money and time? Read on to find out in our review of … Continue reading Rogue Explorer Review
Chronos: Before The Ashes Review
In 2016, Gunfire Games released the RPG Chronos, which a lot of folks compared to titles like Dark Souls and The Legend of Zelda. While the game was generally well received, it had an extremely limited audience because it was a VR game on PC promoted by Oculus. So you had to VR to play it. Now the game has been overhauled and the VR … Continue reading Chronos: Before The Ashes Review

Crysis Remastered Review
In 2007, I was doing most of my gaming on the Nintendo Wii, the original Xbox, and a low-end PC (mostly playing Black Hawk Down multiplayer). My brother built a gaming PC and it did run Crysis, although it didn’t run it on the highest setting (one below that). I played a little bit of Crysis on that PC when the game came out and … Continue reading Crysis Remastered Review
Darksiders Genesis Review
Darksiders Genesis has arrived on consoles (PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch) after releasing late last year for PC and Google Stadia. Budget priced at $39.99, Genesis brings a lot of value to the table in terms of a fun gameplay loop and replayability. Genesis is a spin-off of the main Darksiders games, and in this case serves as a prequel taking place before the … Continue reading Darksiders Genesis Review
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered Review
Sniper Elite V2 first released way back in May 2012 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Two more mainline additions and seven years later, Sniper Elite V2 has been remastered for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Is the trip back to 1945 Berlin and the final days of World War II worth it? The short answer is, it depends. If you never played … Continue reading Sniper Elite V2 Remastered Review
Hey SJW’s, Please Stop Trying to Ruin Super Mario With Your Gender Politics Nonsense
The New York Times called Super Mario Run sexist because Princess Peach bakes a cake. The debut edition of The Riot Retort breaks down why a Mario game doesn’t need to be anything more than a Mario game. Continue reading Hey SJW’s, Please Stop Trying to Ruin Super Mario With Your Gender Politics Nonsense
Mario Kart 8 Review
Mario Kart 8 is a fantastic looking game. It is probably the most crisp, sharpest looking game I’ve ever seen on any Nintendo console. Each track and their background scenery is all very vivid and almost lifelike, in a cartoonish Mario kind of way. LEGO City and Mario 3D both looked great, but Mario Kart 8 took it up a notch in my opinion. The audio … Continue reading Mario Kart 8 Review
New Super Luigi U Review
New Super Luigi U is basically a rehash of New Super Mario Bros U (it originated as DLC for the Mario game), so I’ll be limiting this to a quick look over instead of a full-fledged review. So without further adieu, let’s get this mini show on the road. I can’t remember off hand if we had a review for Super Mario Bros U, but … Continue reading New Super Luigi U Review
Lego City Undercover Review
Chase McCain returns to Lego City right after criminal mastermind and all around bad guy Rex Fury has escaped from prison. McCain is the… umm… man (?) that did most of the work to bring Fury to justice and lead to his arrest. The man that actually made that arrest was Marion Dunby, an incompetent policeman that rode that success to the office of Chief … Continue reading Lego City Undercover Review
Cool Spot Review
Cool Spot is a platformer starring the 7-Up mascot that somehow turned out great. A retro look at one of the SNES era’s most unlikely gems. Continue reading Cool Spot Review
Nintendo Land Review
Day 38 is here, and it brings TVE’s second Wii U game review. Nintendo Land is a pack-in for the Deluxe model, and is also available for purchase for around $50. It’s fun, but not worth that kind of money. Click to read the review. Continue reading Nintendo Land Review
Bad News Baseball Review
Bad News Baseball was worth the $65 I spent to play it again. Mostly. Chalk full of childhood memories, and surprisingly, or maybe unsurprisingly, the game still holds up today. A true baseball classic from when games were trying to be fun, not complicated simulations. Continue reading Bad News Baseball Review
Nintendo Wii U Review
The next generation of game consoles began on November 18th with the release of Nintendo’s Wii U, and unfortunately for Nintendo their next gen console is comparable (slightly better) than the current generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft. And that means that (if the rumored specs and developer talk is to be believed) when the next Playstation and Xbox hit the market (possibly this … Continue reading Nintendo Wii U Review
Donkey Kong Jr. Review
This is the NES version of Donkey Kong Jr. played on the Wii Virtual Console, it has a few differences between the arcade version. Donkey Kong Jr. is of course the sequel to the hugely popular (in the 80s) Donkey Kong arcade game. The roles are reversed this time though. You don’t play as Mario trying to rescue the Princess from Donkey Kong. Instead, you … Continue reading Donkey Kong Jr. Review
