Review: Immortal Redneck (Sony PlayStation 4)

February 27, 2018

FPS/Immortal Redneck/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Roguelike/Shooter/shooters

Review by Matt S. Roguelike FPSers are a rather specific genre, but I do like them. If done well they’ll be fast paced, high action shooters, reminiscent of the Dooms and Heretics of old, and that random level design means that these games can be interesting to play and replay…

Article by Matt S. Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Legend of CaoCao is a new free-to-play game that has been released on mobile devices by Nexon and Koei Tecmo, and it’s surprisingly good. Before I get to that though, you’ll see through this article I refer to “The Legend…

Review by Matt S. For me, writing about games isn’t just about writing about games. It’s a calling. It’s an all-consuming passion. I started writing about video games right back when I had a Game Boy Advance and there was a site called GBACentral. I loved my GBA (it was…
