If 2021 has taught me anything it’s that there needs to be more dodgeball video games. Earlier this year we were blessed with the fantastic multiplayer dodgeball game Knockout City (you can read my review of that here) and now we have another dodgeball game that’s completely different and just as joyful. Dodgeball Academia isContinue reading “Dodgeball Academia Review: Gonna Dodge the Very Best”

Jonah’s Saturday Reviews: Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life
First thing I want to get out of the way is that this review is long overdue, but alas it is here and it’s the first edition of Jonah’s Saturday Reviews which is a review I will be doing every Saturday on anything pop culture, new or old.

Splitgate is Multiplayer Comfort Food with a Brilliant Twist
Splitgate is multiplayer first person shooter that harkens back to the early to mid 2000s. A time before customized loadouts, killstreaks, sliding and even aiming down the sights. This is a classic arena shooter through and through, where every player starts with the exact same weapons and if you want something different, you better findContinue reading “Splitgate is Multiplayer Comfort Food with a Brilliant Twist”
A Message for Gamers Who Complain About Accessibility: Grow the F Up
Earlier this week it was revealed that the upcoming Psychonauts 2 will include an optional invincibility mode. I was going to do a write up on why including a mode like that is a good thing for accessibility. But then I thought that would probably be redundant as it’s pretty self explanatory how a modeContinue reading “A Message for Gamers Who Complain About Accessibility: Grow the F Up”
Xbox is Better Than Every Other Platform at One Thing: Fostering Community
The gaming community is home to some wonderful people. It’s also home to some truly awful creatures. The key to making the gaming community the best community on the planet is to weed out the delinquents and reprobates. While Nintendo and Playstation have great communities and I’m proud to be part of them, they’re kindContinue reading “Xbox is Better Than Every Other Platform at One Thing: Fostering Community”
PlayStation is Wasting a Library of Family Friendly Games that Could Rival Nintendo
I recently finished Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. I loved it so much that I got the Platinum trophy which I don’t usually do. It is a very strong contender for 2021 Game of the Year. It’s as close to playable Pixar as any game has ever gotten. It’s as immaculately design and joyously funContinue reading “PlayStation is Wasting a Library of Family Friendly Games that Could Rival Nintendo”
Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart Review: Nefariously Good
Insomniac might just be the best game development studio on the planet. In November they launched Spider-Man Remastered as well as Miles Morales and just 7 months later they released their masterpiece, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. This game is a masterclass in graphics, platforming, shooting, story and fun. It is a triumph of theContinue reading “Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart Review: Nefariously Good”
Biomutant Review: They Don’t Make Games Like This Anymore
I have been playing Biomutant every day since it released. It even took me away from the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. I still don’t really know how to describe it and I think that’s the best thing I can say about it. It really is it’s own thing, it beats to it’s own drum, itContinue reading “Biomutant Review: They Don’t Make Games Like This Anymore”

New to the this season Destiny adds a new 6-player activity called Override, over 30 new and returning guns, and of course the most beloved raid in the history ofContinue reading “Destiny 2 Season of the Splicer Review: Hack, Splice and Vex”
Knockout City Review: Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball. There are no wrenches in Knockout City but there is a lot of balls. *cue dirty minded laughter* Developed by Velan Studios, the makers of Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit and published by EA, under its EA Originals banner, Knockout City is simply put,Continue reading “Knockout City Review: Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge”
