Review by Lindsay M. A young woman is dead. Strangled in her own home. A trio of tarot readers predicted it — but does that mean they were directly involved in the murder? It seems like a tale you’d find in a classic murder mystery film. That actually accurately describes…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Mad Max is a classic for a reason. A blighted landscape, humanity scratching out an existence, and brutal thugs that look to lord it over the scraps of what remains makes for a grim, but powerful setting. One used over and over again to explore some…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. If it wasn’t for Project Highrise landing on Nintendo Switch just a week ago, I’d be recommending Townsmen. The Nintendo Switch is a perfect device for city building simulators, but aside from a really (really) poor port of Cities: Skylines and a cheap little mobile port…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. People who love Tetris will love Tetris Effect, because it is Tetris. If I’m stating the obvious, it’s only because this game was being pitched on not being a “pure” Tetris, but rather some kind of fusion between Tetris and the neon-and-music genius that made Rez…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Once of the better value packages that you can buy on the Nintendo Switch is Mercenaries Saga Chronicles.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Why can’t more games about war be like World War 1 biopic, 11-11 Memories Retold? Rather than bombastic nonsense that functions as barely veiled propaganda and military hero worship, why don’t we have more genuine stories about war? The shattering emotions and the horror that the…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Fresh off its first feature film, heading into its fourth season, and over 200 manga chapters deep, My Hero Academia is a full-fledged phenomenon. My Hero One’s Justice, an anime arena fighter, is a logical extension of author Kohei Horikoshi’s ongoing scheme to conquer the entertainment…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It has been a big year for retro collections on Nintendo Switch. Capcom’s weighed in with two excellent ones (Street Fighter collection and the Beat ’em Up Bundle), SEGA’s got a pack of a huge pile of its classics on the horizon, and Nintendo’s paid online…
