Marvel Snap: Directed by Danny Koo, Christine Thompson, Eric Monacelli, Tim Tsang. With Rex Anderson, Weston Heflin, Samuel L. Jackson, Dylan Jones. A card video game based on Marvel Comics. I played this from release until a couple months ago when I just forgot to do the dailies, then never got back to it and was only reminded about the game when I was looking to clear up some space on my phone. The CCG aspect of the game is top notch, the animations each card gets are novel and I’m sure we’ll see more games with the parallax views...
Become a Ghost, fighting against a rogue spec ops faction called the Wolves, in the latest Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon®! I’m not done with this game, not by far, but it’s a solid enough experience that I’m going to be playing for the next few months off and on that I figured at about 20 hours in, I had a solid enough opinion about it that I could get the review done. Originally released back in 2019, they just had a sale for the omega premium pro ultra platinum edition which comes with most of the DLC, so I grabbed...
Zaccaria Pinball brings you over 100 tables, including over 40 pinball tables officially licensed from Zaccaria. Zaccaria was founded by three brothers (Marino, Franco, & Natale) and was the 3rd largest manufacturer of pinball machines in the world (behind Bally & Williams). Played this on my xbox and I fear that I’m not in the target demographic for this type of video game at all. I find no joy in playing a vertical game on a horizontal screen, and pinball is downright boring to me. However, if you’re into pinball, this is a gorgeous game with what I hear is...
The Cycle: Frontier is a free-to-play PvPvE Extraction Shooter driven by suspense and danger. Prospect for resources and other riches on an abandoned alien world ravaged by a deadly storm, inhabited by monsters and other ambitious Prospectors. A fantastic shooter with an appealing world, some really great game loops, all completely ruined by the fact that high level griefers routinely hang out in the noobie zone to snip them from across the board with one shot. I’m never going to stand a chance in a game where a level 80 epic geared enemy can see 20x the distance that I...
God of War: Directed by David Jaffe, Greg Tiernan. With Linda Hunt, Terrence ‘T.C.’ Carson, Carole Ruggier, Steve Blum. After 10 years of endless nightmares and servitude to the gods of Olympus, Kratos is assigned with a final task, to kill Ares, the God of War. Part of the “God of Wars Saga” HD rerelease of the game, this is a fun jaunt into a quasi Greek mythology that closely aligns with what was actually in the stories, but deviates enough that I it warrants explaining that this isn’t exactly what was in those great stories. It’s good all on...
LEGO Builder’s Journey: A free-form geometric puzzle game set in the world of LEGO. This is hands down one of the worst LEGO games i’ve ever tried to play. Nothing makes sense on it from the controls to what they’re even trying to make you do, it’s a complete mess of nothingness that doesn’t make any sense at all. Didi I not understand something about the game? Who knows?! There’s no tutorial, no intro, and nothing that makes me think this game is anything more than a shameless cash grab. skip if you can resist, give up after about an...
A mysterious pathogen is wreaking havoc on planet LV-895. Join your fellow marines in an all-new campaign that takes you into the heart of the Pathogen hive. Armed with new weapons and perks, it’s up to you to stop the Pathogen from taking over. I paid the full $15 for this expansion and while I think I’d suggest waiting until it’s under $10, this isn’t a bad set of new levels. In fact, these three new levels for $15 are among the best made for the game, with plenty of trees an well done battle arenas that I don’t feel...
IMDb is the world’s most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. Find ratings and reviews for the newest movie and TV shows. Get personalized recommendations, and learn where to watch across hundreds of streaming providers. I think I bought this just to say that I own it, because the reviews were terrible, the game had been delisted from Steam, and it was still cheap as hell to find a code for it to add it to my account. Turns out it’s a terrible game with nothing to do with Trek other than the name, even basic...
Killzone: With Kal Weber, Taylor Lawrence, Tom Clarke Hill, Sean Pertwee. The Helghans have rebuilt their planet after the first Helghan War and have attacked the ISA on the colony planet Vekta, who are heavily outnumbered. Captain Jan Templar and his squad are sent to find the ISA operative. I have extremely vague memories of playing this game back when I owned a PS2 20 years ago, but I know that I never finished it, because that entire stack of games was stolen during a house party when I was in college, along with Time Splitters and Aqua Aqua. I...
Command and customize your own capital ships. Take down opponents in thundering, team-based combat. Dreadnought is a free-to-play shooter that puts you at the center of spaceship battles on a colossal scale. As a multiplayer only game, I got to this way too late. Add to that, my normal gaming group was open to trying it out, but weren’t exactly enthused about it, but we only got about a dozen matches in before they lost interest and I was unable to play much more of it. I, for one, definitely enjoyed the time I was able to spend with the...
