While I had heard of the franchise, I had never played a Ys game until this year. However, while browsing games available on PlayStation Plus, I came across Ys VIII and Ys IX. I thought the screenshots looked good, so I read…

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 the new title available now on PS5, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Rogue Explorer (PS5 [Reviewed], PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC)…

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 removed, and this new version dubbed Chronos: Before The Ashes is now available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch and Stadia. Of course with backwards compatibility, it's…

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 it was stunning. It looked amazing and the gameplay was fun. In many ways, it was indeed a jaw-dropping experience. Fast forward to 2020, and Crysis has been remastered…

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 three numbered games. The perspective has shifted to an isometric one akin to Diablo, the developer is Airship Syndicate as opposed…

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 Sniper Elite V2, then the Remastered is worth picking up if you enjoy the series. If you have played V2 on one of its original platforms, then you can probably…

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.

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 is what it is. It's a game under the Mario franchise, so all you really get are some sound effects and the game play music that varies slightly from…

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 I don't think we did. Mario had the best graphics I had ever seen in a Nintendo game to that point, and perhaps still does (LEGO City Undercover does make a case), and as…

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 of Police. Of course he does not care for our hero, that would require admitting he doesn't deserve the acclaim and praise. Anyway, with…
