Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Review

Nov 22, 2023

In October of 2021, GameMill fired up the nostalgia truck and delivered Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl to the world. If you, like me, spent your formative mornings and afternoons with your eyes glued to the Nick channel, the idea of a Nickelodeon-universe crossover fighter sounded like a great time. The roster featured show headliners—like Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender—and secondary characters—like Powdered Toast Man from Ren & Stimpy. The roster was diverse, including characters from my era of Nickelodeon and the eras that followed. It seemed fairly well-rounded. Unfortunately, it was not without its flaws. It was plagued by balance issues, multiplayer connection troubles, and perhaps the biggest issue of all: The game lacked voice acting. The characters everyone had come to love were soulless.

Phantom: Covert Ops Review

Nov 09, 2020

I have a special affinity for VR games that find unique ways to overcome the issue of stationary locomotion. Teleportation works fine, but it breaks immersion and distracts from the game a bit. This is where Phantom: Covert Ops excels. They took the most difficult genre for VR locomotion—a first-person shooter—and found a way to make the awkwardness diegetic.

Audica Review

Feb 20, 2020

Harmonix will always have a place in my heart because of their smash hit Rock Band. Unfortunately, extra space will not be made for Audica.

The Climb Review

Jan 31, 2020

I have a crippling fear of heights.

I reviewed The Climb, a VR game focused on climbing mountains and cliff sides high above the earth below.

And I absolutely loved it.

LucidSound LS41 Wireless Gaming Headset Review

Dec 17, 2019

LucidSound has been my go-to headset company for a few years now. This new iteration of their flagship headset assure me that trend will continue. The LS41s follow their predecessors in their comfortable ear cup design, flexibility in use, and quality sound. The LS41 headset makes some big new changes. Let’s dive in to those upgrades.

Job Simulator Review

May 15, 2019

This is likely one of few reviews of Job Simulator in 2019. It is likely one of fewer that reviews it after having played Owlchemy Labs’ recent successor to Job Simulator, Vacation Simulator. When comparing the two, Vacation Simulator is infinitely more fleshed out, polished, and extensive. Flatly, it’s more fun. But, that’s not to say Job Simulator isn’t also worthy of your time.

Space Junkies Review

Apr 25, 2019

Since getting a VR system, I’ve been looking for what might be the platform’s HALO, Call of Duty, or likewise FPS must-have. There are a few that exist, but most are adaptations of existing games. Even fewer take into account the unique opportunities or—perhaps more importantly—limitations of VR interactions.

Vacation Simulator Review

Apr 17, 2019

Job Simulator has become a staple of VR systems. It’s always at or near the top of VR owners’ “must have” list. So, when Saving Content decided to start diving into that virtual realm, we knew anything by Owlchemy Labs was a great place to start. Conveniently, Vacation Simulator was recently released.

LucidSound LS31 Wireless Gaming Headset Review

Nov 20, 2018

Our site last reviewed LucidSound’s LS30 Wireless Gaming Headset two years ago. It impressed me and it became my most used gaming headset for the better part of those past two years. So I was excited to see what changes had come along in the new model, the LiquidSound LS31 Wireless Gaming Headset.
