- Reviewed on  PS4  - Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl released on October 5th, 2021. Involving many memorable Nickelodeon characters from a vast variety of past and present TV Shows, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a fun combination of beloved characters and the highly addictive fighting genre all in one! Although the unlockables (extras) and customization might be a bit debatable to some players, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a great addition to your gaming library, if given the chance.  This review WILL have  Major Spoilers  so keep that in mind before continuing... Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is / was a title I was a bit unsure of at first.  It did have my favorite characters like SpongeBob, Aang, and Korra, but the fighting genre honestly made me a little nervous, relating to my enjoyment of the game.  Surprisingly however, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is / was a great time (as of writing this blog post)! I found the vibrant roster of fighters (characte...

- Reviewed on  PS4  - Until Dawn released on August 25th, 2015. Developed by Supermassive Games, Until Dawn is an interactive, episodic, horror game that focuses primarily on your (the players) specific choices and decisions to give you a different outcome from the plethora of end results possible. Filled with amazing music, tension, and clearly defined characters, Until Dawn is a video game title, well worth your time.  This review WILL have  Major Spoilers  so keep that in mind before continuing... Taking place on Blackwood Mountain, Until Dawn follows the horrific journey of eight teenagers and their time at the Washington Lodge.  Blackwood Mountain not only has the Washington Lodge, but also consists of a Mining Network, Guest Cabin, and Sanatorium, in which you will visit all of them throughout the game's roughly, eight-hour story.  The main story (game itself) starts with the tragic events of Hannah and Beth.  After the main cast of cha...

- Reviewed on  PS4  - Dying Light released on January 26th, 2015. Published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developed by one of my favorite developers, Techland, Dying Light is a zombie filled extravaganza waiting to be played! With well thought out characters and great backstories for everyone, Dying Light's story is a very memorable journey filled with many twists and turns.  Plus, with their (Techland) parkour mechanics (I never experienced before now), Dying Light has a whole plethora of new approaches to slaying the endless hordes of zombies.  This review WILL have  Major Spoilers  so keep that in mind before continuing... Taking place in the fictional city of Harran, Dying Light puts you in the shoes of Kyle Crane, a GRE (Global Relief Effort) agent, sent into the zombie infested city to extract important files on the outbreak. The story has such a simple beginning, middle, and end, yet Techland added so much character / story devel...

- Reviewed on  PS4  - Aliens: Fireteam Elite released on August 24th, 2021. Engulfed with the plethora of Alien / Xenomorph lore, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is an action-packed thrill ride for the horrifying, alien species. Whether you tackle the missions solo or with others, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is sure to keep you on your toes from the second you press start.  This review WILL have  Major Spoilers  so keep that in mind before continuing... Aliens: Fireteam Elite puts you in the shoes of a United States Colonial Marine, where you will tackle on hundreds, if not thousands, of Xenomorphs (and there alter forms).  The customization in Aliens: Fireteam Elite is pretty extensive. The game itself starts off with you creating your own Colonial Marine and I found that very enjoyable from the start. The big sell point of Aliens: Fireteam Elite (to me at least) is / was the multiplayer aspect.  However, playing Aliens: Fireteam Elite solo, slaying all the xe...

- Reviewed on  PS3  - Batman: Arkham Asylum released on August 25th, 2009. Being Rocksteady Studio's first Batman title, Batman: Arkham Asylum is / was a revolutionary (for its original release era) superhero adventure, that expanded all possible mechanics and features to the very core! Combining a blend of everyday game mechanics (like tutorials and combat) with the true nature of Batman (and his universe) simply blew me away and is strong throughout the (average) 12-hour story.  This review WILL have  Major Spoilers  so keep that in mind before continuing... When The Joker is apprehended quite easily by the Caped Crusader, Batman opens the campaign by driving in the Batmobile to Arkham Asylum, the main setting for this title.  Little did Batman know, (SPOILER) The Joker had a well thought out plan to have a "party" on the island, consisting of endless enemies and popular villains from the Batman universe.  My absolute favorite part of Batman: Ar...

- Reviewed on  PC  - Raft released on May 23rd, 2018. Developed by Redbeet Interactive, Raft is a survival / adventure title, that puts you literally, in the middle of the ocean!  What started out as a small indie title, Raft quickly gained popularity and now is one of my favorite survival games to play in my down time (as of writing this blog post). This review WILL have  Major Spoilers  so keep that in mind before continuing... You can toggle specific settings in your world before creating it, such as time duration, who can join, and of course, naming your world.  The overall goal of Raft is to take your starting platform (four by four) and simply... survive! Using your trustworthy Plastic Hook, the main (essential) way of gathering resources is by casting your hook (like a fishing rod), hooking on to resources in the water near you, and pulling them in to use.  This game mechanic is by far (to me), the gold factor of enjoyment. It is so relaxin...

- Reviewed on  Switch  - Animal Crossing: New Horizons released on March 20th, 2020.  Serving as Nintendo's fifth game in the Animal Crossing series, Animal Crossing: New Horizons takes everything players loved from the previous installments and makes it ten times better! With more villagers, items, collectibles, and places to explore, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the definition of long-term enjoyment, with its plethora of features and achievements.  This review WILL have  Major Spoilers  so keep that in mind before continuing... The main plot of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is about the new player(s) purchasing a getaway package from the well-known Animal Crossing character, Tom Nook.  This getaway package shortly becomes a great endeavor for the player, as the island you travel to, is all yours for the taking.  You will select a premade layout for your island and then the true game begins! Tom Nook will provide the player with a pletho...
