Kirby Fighters 2: Demo Review

Kirby Fighters 2 is a bit like what you’d get if you took Super Smash Bros and only themed it around everyone’s favorite pink puffball.  It took me about 15 minutes to play through the game’s demo, during which only Story Mode was available to me.  I was able to choose from three Kirby abilities…

I’m Still in Shock Over the Super Mario RPG Remake

Yeah, that’s more or less the sum of it. After more than 20 years of waiting (I hate that I’m able to say that), Nintendo has finally remembered that Super Mario RPG exists and is bringing us full and true remake later this year! I don’t know about you, but I absolutely didn’t see that…

I’ll Always be a Mario Side-Scroller Fan

During the recent Nintendo Direct, a game was revealed that made my heart grow three sizes. That game was Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Due out in late October, it represents Nintendo’s latest take on Mario’s classic side-scrolling adventures. There will be pipes! There will be castles!

Nintendo Finally Says Something About New Hardware

With the PS5 and Xbox Series machines now being almost three years old, It’s probably safe to say that everyone’s been wondering when Nintendo plans on releasing some new hardware.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a slow-paced puzzle game starring Captain Toad (and Toadette) where you explore various stages that you can rotate in order to look for secrets.  The game is extremely generous, with roughly 80 stages that will have you seeking out hidden passages, moving and rotating platforms, riding minecarts, avoiding a dragon’s…

Spiritfarer: Demo Review

Described by the developers as a “cozy management game about dying”, Spiritfarer has you playing as Stella the ferrymaster, whose duty is to care for the spirits of the dead before sending them off into the afterlife.  Right from the start, the game is quite a treat for the eyes, with the bright, cartoony art…

There’s Always Gotta Be Something

I’m not usually one to rag on people for complaining when it comes to video games. I mean, no game is perfect; even games many people consider masterpieces have their detractors, and I myself don’t really care for a lot of the super popular titles out there. There’s also something to be said for making…

Saints Row (2022): Just Good Enough

At the end of Saints Row’s prologue, the “boss” shares a sly smile with the audience when one of their cohorts says that they’ve done just about everything there is to be done. It’s a clear nod to the fact that Deep Silver Volition (from the start?) made the Saints Row reboot into a live…
