How to find Luke Skywalker’s home on Tatooine in Star Wars Outlaws
Aug 27, 2024
Star Wars Outlaws lets you visit several planets and moons as part of the open-world and story of Kay Vess, a new scoundrel finding herself knee-deep in the underbelly of crime syndicates. Of those locations, a little planet called Tatooine is the home of an unknown by the name of Luke Skywalker. It’s possible to visit his childhood home in the game, and we’ll show you where and how.
Iron Meat Review
Aug 27, 2024
Iron Meat takes the Contra formula, puts it on steroids, cranks the music to eleven, and has you violently exploding excessive amounts of extraterrestrial organic material you can drown in. In fact, I’m reminded a lot of Carrion, only on the other side of the conflict to see what the military dudes were going through. The game never takes itself too seriously, even in a post-apocalyptic setting, and Ivan Valeryevich Suvorov (Razz) and the folks at Retroware offer an fantastic run-n-gunner. By the end credits of Iron Meat, you’ll have seen so much meat, blood, and gore, you might just go vegetarian.
Star Wars Outlaws Review
Aug 26, 2024
Ubisoft’s next sprawling open-world adventure is also the first of its kind for a Star Wars game. Star Wars Outlaws is a wretched hive of scum and villainy encapsulated in video game form, and it’s so great at it. Outlaws is the fix for those who have been burnt-out by traditional Ubisoft open-world games and Jedi-centric Star Wars films and television shows over the years. Massive Entertainment, the developers behind my personal favorite RTS World in Conflict, as well as The Division and The Division 2, offer a wholly new experience by giving a look at the galaxy through the eyes of an up-and-coming scoundrel. Star Wars Outlaws is an excellent entry in what I hope can become a series, as I want to go on more adventures with Kay and Nix, who steal the show. And so Star Wars Outlaws is the elation and nostalgia of “Chewie, We’re Home.”
JSAUX 6-in-1 Multifunctional Docking Station Review
Aug 20, 2024
The JSAUX 6-in-1 Multifunctional Docking Station aims to bridge the gap between handheld gaming and a traditional desktop setup. Offering a suite of connectivity options, it promises to enhance the overall handheld gaming experience, and essentially turn it into a mostly desktop experience. While it delivers on many fronts, a few minor shortcomings that don’t stop it from coming recommended.
ASUS ROG Ally X Review
Aug 19, 2024
I’ve had the ROG Ally X from ASUS for a month, and it’s my first time with a device like this, and it really impressed me, and even exceeded my expectations. The ASUS ROG Ally X is a formidable entry into the handheld gaming market. As a device that seeks to bridge the gap between console gaming and PC portability, it certainly delivers on power and performance. However, it’s not without its challenges, particularly in terms of software optimization and battery life. Let’s dive into the details.
Volgarr the Viking II Review
Aug 05, 2024
A sequel to Volgarr the Viking from eleven years ago was not on my bingo card for 2024. This game does not mess around, playing as Volgar the Viking made me Scott the Vulgar. Volgarr the Viking II is everything about the first game’s difficulty is very much in-tact. That said, Volgarr the Viking II is a return to form, and everything you’d want from a sequel, to include optional accessibility options so that you can actually beat this one.
SteamWorld Heist II Review
Aug 01, 2024
It’s been a whopping eight years since the original SteamWorld Heist. The world has changed so much in that time, new consoles have released, new genres have emerged. The sequel is a breath of fresh sea air, and is a return to form as if no time has passed. SteamWorld Heist II is the very definition of sequel, improving and expanding on things to enhance over the previous in fantastic ways. This is a follow-up I never expected, but definitely wanted and SteamWorld Heist II delivers.
EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 (PC) Review
Jul 24, 2024
Long before Helldivers II there was Earth Defense Force. Now in its sixth mainline game, EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 is, without a doubt, more of the same of its mission-based cuisine. This latest entry in the over-the-top, bug-splattering franchise delivers everything you’d expect and more. It’s a relentless, chaotic, and undeniably fun experience that will keep you coming back for more, even if it doesn’t reinvent the wheel. And for fans of the series, that’s an exceptionally good thing. EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 is gigantic alien killing at its absolute finest.
CLICKOLDING Review
Jul 18, 2024
CLICKOLDING exists in a perverse, erotic, and absolutely compelling space. From the moment the game begins to the moment it ends, you’re enthralled with what’s transpiring. CLICKOLDING comes from Strange Scaffold with funding from Outersloth. This game has adult themes and sexual-adjacent material. Even the kerning of the game’s title font suggests something seedy is going on. Strange Scaffold does storytelling like no one else, and this is an uncomfortable one to play; but that’s the point, and I couldn’t wait to see how it ended.
