Expeditions: A MudRunner Game Review
Feb 29, 2024
Before embarking on an expedition, there was a tip in my briefing that I should “bring spare parts”, and so I did. I wasn’t fully sure as to why, but halfway through my traversal of a muddy riverbed, the water was too deep to pass. It was here I noticed a spot was accepting a delivery. I was sure that it was looking for something I didn’t have, but it wanted spare parts. Once I surrendered the parts, it built a bridge cross the gap that would have otherwise been impassable. It was such a pleasant surprise to have the game make things slightly easier for me. Expeditions: A MudRunner Game manages to both be a continuation of the off-road simulation series that builds upon prior games, and a complete introduction that’s a fantastic third entry from Saber Interactive.
Islands of Insight Review
Feb 13, 2024
Lunarch Studios has been making games for a while now, but nothing comes close to what they’ve done with Islands of Insight. It’s seriously impressive, and already one of the best games I’ve played this year. Imagine taking the beautiful puzzle worlds of The Talos Principle 2 and The Witness, and you have this game. With an astounding 10,000 puzzles to solve in the game, which is quite the claim, but lives up to it. It’s a seemingly never-ending series of puzzles to solve, and this “shared open-world world puzzle game” is simply marvelous. Islands of Insight embraces the sublime, and is all about the journey, one that I never want to end.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Review
Feb 12, 2024
It feels like WB has been trying to make Suicide Squad “a thing” across two separate movies, and it hasn’t quite stuck. This has now extended into the medium of video games, and yet I can’t say I’ve been won over here either. Rocksteady, the venerable developer of the Batman Arkham series is at the helm; and while they are good at single-player games, they couldn’t capture lightning in a bottle with a game-as-a-service. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a solid game brought down by live service repetition that makes this passable, at best.
Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra Controller Review
Feb 08, 2024
I’m a stalwart for official controllers. It takes a lot for me to use anything from a third-party. Now, I’ve certain enjoyed Turtle Beach’s prior offerings like the Recon controller , but it had so many extra features I didn’t really need. It’s well-known that I’m not a fan of wireless… anything, but this feels better than any other controller I’ve used before, to include first-party. The Stealth Ultra is a wireless controller that uses the Xbox styling and suits my every need. I have put this controller through its paces across various genres and platforms. From its design and build quality to its performance and unique features, the Stealth Ultra Controller stands out as a true gaming marvel.

Bahnsen Knights Review
Dec 13, 2023
Following Mothmen 1966 and Varney Lake, Bahnsen Knights is the third and final game in the “pixel pulp” series. This trilogy from LCB Game Studio is some of the most fascinating and entertaining games I’ve played in recent memory. They are also a series I will revisit often thanks to their short run times, but mainly for their branching paths and mini-games. While the supernatural element falls flat in a few places, it’s a rare window into relationships and situations not often explored. This series offers a unique blend of visual novel and interactive adventure that’s not to be missed.
Audeze Maxwell Wireless Review
Dec 01, 2023
In the ever-evolving landscape of audio technology, Audeze (pronounced “odyssey”) is asserting dominance with the Maxwell Wireless headphones. I’m no audiophile, but I know good audio when I hear it. I’ve reviewed lots of brands and headsets over the years, and Audeze is in a different realm compared to its contemporaries. However, from the moment I slipped on the Audeze Maxwell Wireless, I was transported into a sonic realm made me understand wireless audio is great.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Review
Nov 17, 2023
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III serves as the 20th game in the series as it also celebrates its 20th anniversary, but this is an anniversary marred by a short development cycle and bad decisions. Designed to be a expansion for Modern Warfare II , and it sure feels like it. Sledgehammer Games is at the helm this time, previously seen with Call of Duty: Vanguard in 2021, a game that was merely okay all-around. Infinity Ward’s lack of presence is notably felt here, because this game features the most befuddling choices and features I’ve seen in these games. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is not only disappointing, it is deflating and insulting for fans of this storied franchise.
Dungeons 4 Review
Nov 09, 2023
Dungeons 4 marks the twelve years since the release of the first game, and the same developer Realmforge Studios has back again with what is undoubtedly the best entry to-date. With shades of Dungeon Keeper as its inspiration, this hybrid of builder meets real-time strategy game is a wonderful gathering. With new minion types, a lengthy campaign, and tons of possibilities, this is as irresistable as ever. Being evil has never felt so good, and Dungeons 4 has never been better.
