Blacksea Odyssey - Review (PS4)
Blacksea Odyssey is a quirky twin stick/top down shooter hybrid with RPG elements thrown in for good measure. As if that wasn’t enough to offer at least a little intrigue, it even offers rogue-like, or more commonly known as rogue-light, elements as well.

Red Faction Guerrilla ReMARStered - Review (PS4)
Red Faction Guerrilla was released nearly a decade ago and over time the game received cult like recognition. It isn’t easy to do what Volition did when they released the game in the summer of 2009. They took an established first-person shooter and completed scrapped it in favor of a third person open-world game. While we may never know how well received a Red Faction 3 would have been had it followed in the footsteps of its predecessors, we do know that Guerrilla is still kicking after all these years despite more roadblocks than you can imagine.

Games for America: Celebrating Independence Day
In 1775 America changed its Facebook status from “In A Relationship with Britain,” to “It’s complicated.” On this day in history, after sweating in a small room in Philadelphia for an ungodly amount of time, the founding fathers decided to go H.A.M. on independence.

How I Made Over $20k Selling Digital Cards
I remember it like it was yesterday. March 12, 2015. One of my best friends sent me a message telling me that the Topps trading card company had just released a new app on iOS and that app was a Star Wars collectible card trading game. At that time, a mere nine months before we were about to finally have a new trilogy of Star Wars films, the two words that meant the most to me were "Star Wars" - with "collectible" being a close third.

Megadimension Neptunia VIIR - Review
What if the console wars (Super Nintendo versus Genesis, PlayStation versus Xbox, etc.) and the politics of game companies like Capcom or Square-Enix were played out by a bunch of feuding anime girls designed for maximum moe? That’s the genius, crackpot premise of the satirical Neptunia series of JRPG games. With its most recent release, Megadimension Neptunia VIIR, a quality of life upgrade of 2015’s Megadimension Neptunia VII with VR elements slapped onto both ends, the small development team at Compile Heart delivers a finely polished effort with deep RPG elements and a surprisingly emotional story that somehow fails to equal the sum of its impressive parts.

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit - Review (PS4)
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit opens with a shot of a snow filled yard and a lonely house. As the opening bars of Sufjan Steven’s song Death With Dignity begin to play, you immediately get the feeling that even though you haven’t been here before - something is familiar. This is Life is Strange. Like the previous seasons, Captain Spirit captures the essence of what makes a Life is Strange game unique and then takes that formula and makes it feel fresh again. While the marketing for the game has been a little misleading, make no mistake, this is the prologue to Life is Strange 2.

Paranautical Activity - Review (Switch)
Paranautical Activity is an old school shooter with a new school twist. While it may look like your average shooter from the 90s the roguelike procedural dungeon generation keeps the game fresh playthrough after playthrough. After receiving an initial somewhat controversial release on PC, Digerati Distribution is once again reviving the game - this time on the Switch.

After last years E3 reveal, Metro Exodus has been pretty quiet. This year the game is back with a new trailer and a release window of Spring 2019. Following up the good ending of Metro Last Light, Exodus takes a bold new approach to the series with more open world style levels in the snowy Russian north.
