Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines Review

Review

Oct 09, 2024

Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is a delightful follow up to the original 2022 platformer Grapple Dog, and it brings with it an extra dose of charm, creativity, and, of course, dogs with grappling hooks. This time, you’re not just playing as Pablo; there’s a new dog in town, Luna, who brings an entirely fresh playstyle to the game. However, even though this is a sequel, you don’t need to have played the first game to jump in and have a great time.

Ara: History Untold Review

Review

Oct 09, 2024

Ara: History Untold from Oxide Games is an interesting experiment, with room to improve, and I hope it does. It’s a 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) strategy game that attempts to rewrite the genre with a unique blend of familiar mechanics and ambitious innovations. While Ara boasts a beautiful presentation and some truly inspired ideas, its execution stumbles with an overcomplicated crafting system and a lack of depth in certain areas, though the redemption arc for this will be fun to watch. As it stands today, Ara: History Untold is a demanding 4X game that can’t keep up with its own exigency.

With its larger than life battles between the Joes and Cobra, that iconic show set the tone for generations. G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra, is the latest video game adaptation, and attempts to bring that nostalgia into the modern living room by tapping into another ’80s hallmark: the arcade-style beat ’em up.

Parcel Corps Review

Review

Oct 08, 2024

Remember the rush of chaining tricks in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater or the frantic thrill of navigating a chaotic city just-in-time in Crazy Taxi? Billy Goat Entertainment’s new bike messenger delivery game Parcel Corps, throws those beloved elements into a blender, adds a generous dash of wacky humor, and pours out a refreshingly nostalgic concoction. Strap on your helmet, grip the handlebars, and prepare to weave through bustling city on your trusty bike, all while dodging pedestrians, and the ever-present pressure of a ticking clock to deliver packages for a cast of truly bizarre characters. Parcel Corps is a lighthearted delivery-focused game with a modicum of repetition, but the things that happen in-between delivery points is where you’ll have the most fun.
