Final Fantasy dips back into the SNES golden era with Resonance

Final Fantasy is a lot different than it used to be. While many of the early Final Fantasy titles look and play similarly to each other, the series has since grown to encompass blockbuster games like Final Fantasy XVI and the gargantuan Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, which don’t play much like the classics. But […]

Wii Sports is back on the Switch 2, and it rules

Wii Sports holds an important place in Nintendo’s history. It’s the best-selling piece of software the company has ever made, one that permeated culture in surprising ways, and its success helped rejuvenate Nintendo after a period of steady decline. It also kicked off one of the company’s most important and unassuming franchises. While subsequent sports […]

Some great games to play before GTA VI and Zelda launch

You could say we’re in the eye of the storm right now. The storm, of course, being the fall and winter release calendar for new video games. Things started out with a hectic few weeks that were packed with major titles like Control Resonant, Marvel’s Wolverine, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and Gears of War: E-Day. […]

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is my childhood podracing dream come true

The podracing scene in The Phantom Menace is one of my favorite movie sequences ever. It’s just so dang cool: The futuristic racers tear over treacherous Tatooine terrain while various Star Wars aliens bark at each other in incomprehensible sci-fi languages. Eventually a young Anakin Skywalker proves his mettle by clawing his way from the […]

Gears of War: E-Day is a great game launching at a terrible time

There are few blockbuster games that are as confident as Gears of War: E-Day. A prequel to one of Xbox’s most transformative titles, E-Day knows exactly what it wants to be: a brutal, tense, and self-aware action game, one that is stronger because it doesn’t deviate from that premise. Twenty years since the original Gears […]

Out of the Park Baseball lets me enjoy baseball even when the Mets suck

If you were to ask me what game or game series I’ve sunk the most time into, the answer would be easy: Out of the Park Baseball (OOTP). I have spent roughly 2,300 hours, according to Steam, playing various editions of the game. OOTP isn’t like MLB The Show or Super Mega Baseball. It’s not […]

Nintendo opens up Fire Emblem with the gigantic Fortune’s Weave

Nintendo has gotten quite good at making open-ended games. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild upended the idea of what a Zelda game could be by giving the player free rein to tackle any part of the map, a philosophy iterated upon with Tears of the Kingdom. On the Switch 2 this idea […]

Wolverine on the PS5 goes back to a simpler (and bloodier) style of action game

Marvel’s Wolverine captures just how angry its lead character is. The latest PS5 exclusive from Spider-Man developer Insomniac, Wolverine is a straightforward action game that is at its best when you’re (literally) slicing through enemies or thrust into a sequence pulled from a blockbuster movie, like climbing the fuselage of a plane as it careens […]

Elden Ring on the Switch 2 isn’t tarnished

FromSoftware is hoping to make a splash on the Switch 2 later this year when it launches The Duskbloods, a gothic competitive multiplayer game that’s unlike anything the studio has made before. But before that, Switch 2 owners have a chance to experience the studio’s biggest hit for the first time thanks to a port […]
