The Jackbox Party Starter Review
Jul 01, 2022
The long-running Jackbox series has been a mainstay of the modern game night for many friends and families since 2014. But with eight releases, I wouldn’t blame anyone for having hesitation on what to buy first. Welcome the new Jackbox Party Starter. Including three fan-favorite games, each highlighting what you can expect from a Jackbox Party Pack. Is this taste of the Jackbox experience a good reflection, or is it even worth the introductory pricing?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge Review
Jun 15, 2022
Who wouldn’t want to be a ninja teen, one who leads, one who does machines? Maybe more of a cool but crude or party dude ninja teen? For years the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) franchise has been the go-to outlet for your ninja teen fantasies, especially when it comes to video games. Kicking foot soldier butt and taking down the evil Oroku Saki, aka the Shredder, has always been childhood fun for many children and myself over the decades. The TMNT license has had its ups and downs, and in recent years there have been more downs than ups. But can a modernized 2D brawler in the style of the classic TMNT arcade game revitalize these four heroes in green?
Salt and Sacrifice Review
Jun 13, 2022
Salt and Sacrifice is the sequel to 2016’s Salt and Sanctuary, a souls-like game that checked off most of the boxes for me at the time. It had that tough yet fair difficulty, challenging combat, intense boss fights, and a whole world open for you to explore. Salt and Sacrifice brings more of the same with new additions that keep the formula fresh in the genre.

Rogue Legacy 2 Review
May 09, 2022
I’m not one to enjoy too many Rogue or Roguelike games, which becomes quite apparent once you get to know me. The thought of losing all your progress after a death actively turns me away. So what is it about Rogue Legacy 2 that brings me so much joy? Well, it’s the ability to keep your hard work into your next hero, and thanks to that, I haven’t been able to put the game down for days.

Young Souls Review
Apr 18, 2022
One of my early favorites growing up as a wee little Ed has always been Beat’em ups. From those Teenage Turtles to the Toads who like to battle, I’ve enjoyed a wide variety of beat’em up. So, when I was presented with a chance to give Young Souls a playthrough, I jumped at the chance. After seeing what was going to be presented in this game, I knew I had to give it some attention. Beat’em up? Loot? Stat leveling? Yeah, Young Souls, you got my attention.
