Review: Lucasfilm Classic Games: Zombies Ate My Neighbors & Ghoul Patrol

There was a point in gaming history when many games didn’t take themselves too seriously. Instead of opting for top-tier graphics or inventive mechanics, there was a greater focus on creativity and humor within video gaming. When Zombies Ate My Neighbors came out, a fun co-op experience that was reverent to horror movies of yore was released to the world. Its sequel, Ghoul Patrol, was released a year later. A collection of the two games was released midway through last year. While there is certainly some fun to be had in reminiscing on what games were, the collection released in 2021 showed what limitations the genre had at the time and how far the medium has come.

Review: Pokémon Legends Arceus

Review: Pokémon Legends Arceus

We have seen Pokémon grow as a brand in the past few years, with numerous games released. Also, we have witnessed Pokémon venture outside of gaming and into merchandising, culture, and even daily grooming activities. Right now, Pokémon is one of the biggest gaming franchises that exist.

For years, longtime fans have dreamed of an open-world Pokemon game where Pokémon roam the landscape, and you could control an avatar that could get lost in the natural landscape. The player could go anywhere and capture any Pokémon free of linear gaming.

Review: Nobody Saves the World

Review: Nobody Saves the World

In Nobody Saves the World, you play as the titular Nobody, a literal blank canvas of a humanoid lacking even eyes who finds himself thrust into the role of hero when the world’s archmage goes missing, and his subordinates are too idiotic to take charge in time. You snag the mage's wand and use it to transform into various forms to fight baddies in this dungeon-filled world.

Review: Halo Infinite

Review: Halo Infinite

Oh, Master Chief, how long has it been. It feels like forever, I can tell you that much, but we’ve finally set foot on Halo Installation Zeta, and while I tend to hate this term in game reviews, Halo Infinite is a mixed bag. The original Halo reinvented the first-person shooter genre, and Infinite takes a lot from the original game. Some of it is the best the series has ever offered, and some are a big swing and a miss.

Review: WolfStride

Review: WolfStride

Wolfstride oozes style. It’s clear from the opener where our main character, Shade, is getting the shit kicked out of him by a dog and a cat in a public restroom. It blends black and white manga-style art with a deep mecha JRPG and off-the-wall characters to create something engaging and unique. It tends to dive down in the much relying on sometimes cringe toilet humor to lighten its strange mood and world, but the weird trashy 90s anime atmosphere works more often than not.
