ReviewsView all →By drakerencher|Jul 9, 2022We Compare Remakes to Their Original GamesThe lines that separate remakes and remasters can get blurry every now and then. Sometimes we can be delightfully surprised when a remake exceeds expectations and becomes the definitive way to experience that game. Sometimes remasters are so bad that you'd be more willing to bust out that old GameCube or PS2 than play the supposedly new and improved version. Sometimes people say that we have too many remakes right now, and it's either a symptom or the cause of a lack of originality.I think remakes and remasters are important and essential for game preservation. The more people who get to experience what gaming has to offer the better. There are plenty of options in today's world for consumers to choose how they want to game and companies want to entice consumers by advertising what's new. New tech, improved textures, and higher frame rates will always be buzzwords for marketing. However, there is still a large demographic of gamers who play Smash Melee on GameCube on CRTs.Updating the gameplay should be the number one focus when you choose to remake a game. A key component is building an old game from the ground up, near-identical to the original but with modern improvements that go beyond just making the resolution better. Maybe you'd create an entirely new engine for the game. How do the controls feel? What are some quality-of-life improvements that could make the experience more comfortable? These are the things I look out for and value in a remake.A remaster is a standard update for a game that's been out somewhere in that sweet spot of 5-10 years. It can be a quick way for a publisher to keep consumer interest in their game for longer and expand its lifetime sales. It's also a great way to port a game to the next console generation.So, with all that said, what are some good recent remakes and remasters? And what are some really bad ones?RemakesRemastersSuper Mario GalaxyBy drakerencher|Jun 26, 2022Agent 64 Announcement and Demo ReviewAgent 64: Spies Never Die is a retro throwback to the GoldenEye era of First-person shooters on the N64. It currently has a demo available on steam, so I thought why not try it out and review the experience so far.Anyone familiar with the N64 classic, GoldenEye, will immediately notice the homage being paid. And we're not just talking about the low-resolution textures plastered on low poly 3D models. Almost all objects explode if you shoot them enough, the gameplay consists of finding key cards to unlock doors, and the shooting is de-emphasized. This means you only need to shoot in your enemy’s general direction, and the gun will do the rest for you.SteamGoldeneye 007Agent 64DemoBy LewisWilson|Jun 24, 2022Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge ReviewWhen the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first hit our TV screens I was 1 years old and the series was a far cry from its comic origins. Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's original 1984 vision was a far darker, grittier piece that was only ever intended as a one-off limited print run. It wasn’t until December 1987 when Laird and Eastman licensed the Turtles to Playmates Toys. With the animated series starting the same year, that TMNT took the world by storm, hurtling rapidly toward the pop culture phenomenon that it became.video gamesTMNTTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesBy drakerencher|Jun 23, 2022Neon White Review: An Exciting Speed Runner/FPS/PlatformerAnnapurna Interactive is one of, if not THE, most consistent game publisher in the industry today. The Unfinished Swan, What Remains of Edith Finch, Journey, and the incredible The Outer Wilds are, in my humble opinion, some of the best games to come out in the last decade. Annapurna just knows how to find talented studios and developers so they can give resources to those studios to make the best games they can. It is impressive that Annapurna has evolved into a publisher with a library that even some AAA publishers can't hold a candle to. That’s why, from the second I saw the reveal trailer for Neon White, I recognized that it was special, and seeing the publisher logo beforehand immediately gave me faith in it. However, my trust in one indie publisher is not universal. Neon White may not have been on a lot of people's radar. But I'll tell you (along with 98% of overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam) that Neon White should be at the top of your list.video gamesreviewfpsIndie Gamesneon whiteBy meagang11|Jun 12, 2022Things You Didn't Know Your PS5 Could DoThe most exciting part about the end of this year is that Sony is promising a massive release of new PS5 games.

Whether it’s a new game releasing that I know I can get lost in for days, or the oldest save file I have on Minecraft, survival games are naturally addictive because your progress is always apparent. Starting at the lowest level then one day realizing how far you've come can feel really fulfilling. And that's only one aspect, out of many, that V Rising succeeds at in strides.It is a rare occasion in the current gaming industry for a title to be released in early access and not have the large glaring issues that early access games are known for. Whether it be server issues, performance bugs, or just not enough content to justify any price tag. These are the reasons a lot of people rightfully groan when they hear “early access.” I hope to put those worries to rest with this review since I think V Rising is a pretty great time all around.video gamesearly accessv risingmmorpgsurvival gamesBy BrandonNebitt|Jun 6, 2022Wildcat Gun Machine Review: A Thoroughly Broken Doom-LikeAs my plasma rifle tears through the last grotesque, biomechanical demon in the room, the door opens, and I sprint down a winding hallway. In a small room at the end of the hall, I find a familiar and very welcome sight— a floating, bright green body armor pickup. And beside it, the blue key card that will get me into the next demon-infested wing of this labyrinthine facility. No, I’m not playing id Software’s first person, demon-slaying masterpiece, Doom. I’m playing chunkybox games’ top-down, twin-stick demon-slaying shovelware, Wildcat Gun Machine! Read on to find out why you shouldn’t!In Wildcat Gun Machine, you play as a badass chick with an eye patch and the mysterious ability to return from death with the help of ghostlike kitty cats. The game is completely devoid of any story beyond this. Who is this cyclopian cat lady? Why is she murdering the innocent demons inhabiting this abandoned complex? Why is the cat skull tattoo on her arm also emblazoned on the giant doors to a hell dimension? What happened here, and what is her connection to this place? And what’s with the ghost kitties? Wildcat Gun Machine concerns itself with none of this.Now, before I start ripping and tearing into this game, let me start with the positives. I’m positive this game sucks. No, I’m kidding, it’s not all bad. The art direction is decent. With a vibrant neon color palette, cute demons, and a nice grain filter that lends a bit of atmosphere to everything, Wildcat Gun Machine looks good in both handheld mode and on a big tv. Enemies are distinct and varied enough to read clearly and quickly, so it’s easy to keep track of what’s going on in the heat of combat. Projectiles are highly visible, and I was never left wondering what the hell I got killed by. The UI is minimal and unobtrusive, displaying your health bar, armor, super meter, and character portrait in the upper left corner, your current gun, ammo count, grenade and dash cooldowns in the lower right, and your bones, the game’s currency, in the lower left. In my favorite little nod to Doom, your character portrait changes from calm to maniacal as your health depletes. Wildcat Gun Machine is a cool looking game, and its controls are smooth and responsive. Unfortunately, it’s just kind of boring. And, also, it has some fundamental design flaws that compound on each other to ruin the whole experience. But I’ll get to that in a minute.video gamesNintendo Switchwildcat gun machinetwin stick shooterBy drakerencher|May 16, 2022Loot River Review: A Satisfying Rogue-Like For FansLoot River is one of those games that you want to play from the second you see it. The art style and the unique gameplay mechanics were enough to instantly grab me. Actually playing the game made me glad I trusted that instinct. That being said, the game does have some issues.The art design in this game is top-notch. The pixilated effect on what felt like 3D models works very well and looks great. The little details in “The Sanctuary” - like the pile of bones, and the head and hands statue in the middle of the area are all great for world-building and atmosphere. The water animations in the river whenever you move a platform are very pretty and satisfying. I would just move my platform back and forth every now and then because something about the rippling waves tickled my brain. It also does a great job of emphasizing your speed when you're moving platforms.Souls-likeRouge-LikeActionLooterBy BrandonNebitt|May 11, 2022Chicken Police - Paint It Red Review: A Zany Noir Throwbackps5video gamesreviewchicken police
