Rogue Explorer Review

Gary Smith

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)…

Chronos: Before The Ashes Review

Gary Smith

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 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…

Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype Definitive Edition Review

Gary Smith

Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype released on PS3 all the way back in May 2010, and came to PS Vita in March 2015. Now it has made its way to PS4 (and via backwards compatability PS5) in the form of the Definitive Edition. If you played the 2010 hit, then you'll probably like taking it for another spin. Already a game that looked good, this Definitive Edition looks and players better than ever at 60 frames per second and virtually no load times.

Doug Flutie’s Maximum Football 2020 Review

Gary Smith

It's hard to believe it's been so long, but the last NCAA Football game released all the way back on July 3, 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360. New consoles would arrive a few months later, and now we're a little over a month away from new consoles arriving again. For the past six college seasons, every time I wanted to play some college football (which is vastly superior to professional football) I had to my PS3 to get it to read a disc. But not this year. This year, I'm playing a college dynasty on a…

Crysis Remastered Review

Gary Smith

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…

Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning Review

Gary Smith

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning originally released all the way back in February 2012 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. We won't get into the history of the development of the game and the quick demise of developers 38 Studios and Big Huge Games, because none of that matters in the present. Reckoning was to be the introduction to the Kingdoms of Amalur, which would have been a grand MMO. What we got with Reckoning is a single player RPG, although one that in small ways feels like an MMO world…

MAG Deserves Rebirth on PS5

PatriotPaine

It's hard to believe, but it has been over 10 years since MAG was released on PS3 and now we're inching ever closer to the release of PS5 (even if we still don't know that date yet). It was, in the long run, a short-lived game that released in January 2010. As an online only title with no single player to speak of, the servers for MAG went offline on January 28, 2014 just a couple of months after the launch of PS4. Sadly, the game has been dead longer than it had a chance to be played. I got a…

Marvel’s Avengers Review

Gary Smith

Marvel's Avengers has been out for a week now, for those of us who ordered the version with 72 hours of early access anyway, and in that week I've gotten a couple of characters of the level cap of 50 and into the power soft cap of 130. I've done everything there is to do in Avengers outside of the AIM Secret Lab raid, so I'm now in a confident spot to write this review. Before we dive into it though, let's establish where I'm coming from here. I don't read comics, and never have. My familiarity…
