Like most famous games, Diablo has several parts. Each part of the series brought something new and revolutionary to the genre it created. The first Diablo set the main vector for the development of a different type of video game with random level generation and high repetitiveness, where the player constantly dies and is forced to start over. Diablo 2 brought a Skill Tree, a … [Read more...] about Diablo 4: A Quick Look at Special Monsters

Turtle Beach React-R Controller Review
We like reviewing Turtle Beach products on this site, and the last one was the Recon AirChat. The Turtle Beach React-R closely resembles the Recon Xbox Controller that we reviewed a while ago. So, what does this REACT-R controller have? At this point, I have to ask what it doesn't have for the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One X, Xbox One S, and Windows PC. It has … [Read more...] about Turtle Beach React-R Controller Review
Game Review: Brief Battles
It's not often that I really like fighting games like Super Smash Brothers, but I was very pleasantly surprised by Brief Battles. Just to let you know, the game is not titled that because the battles are brief (short in their time), but briefs (a term used for underwear) are very important in this game. The game begins like a lot of combat/fighting games with a list of … [Read more...] about Game Review: Brief Battles
Game Review: Table Top Racing World Tour: Nitro Edition
Racing. There's nothing quite like it. And honestly, I'm not too big on racing games. I mean, I like playing Mario Kart, but honestly, in the choice of playing Table Top Racing World Tour - Nitro Edition, and Mario Kart, guess what I am going to play. I know that because my son and I played Table Top Racing World Tour - Nitro Edition, and he wanted to play Mario Kart in … [Read more...] about Game Review: Table Top Racing World Tour: Nitro Edition
Game Review: Feather for Nintendo Switch and PC
It seems like I have been reviewing a lot of games where you play a bird. I mean, there was that cool Vane game which had a one word title and where you flew around, and now there is Feather. I suppose that I could do a comparison of Feather and Vane, and then say which is better, but I don't want to do that. Vane clearly has some world with some weird backstory that the … [Read more...] about Game Review: Feather for Nintendo Switch and PC
Game Review: Mechstermination Force
I am not certain whether or not Mechstermination Force is meant to be a parody of classic "run and gun" games, but it doesn't really come off as one. Perhaps it is an homage to games of the eighties such as Contra where you take control of a character who can shoot and jump with no limits on your ammo. I can honestly say that I was not a fan of these "run and gun" games … [Read more...] about Game Review: Mechstermination Force
Game Review: Bow to Blood: Last Captain Standing
I have to admit that Bow To Blood: Last Captain Standing is not going to get a good review from me. This is because in the time that I played it for review, I just couldn't get into it. I also have to admit that some of the choices of this game feel strange to me. I will have to say that the title of the game, Bow To Blood: Last Captain Standing seems to invoke a pirate … [Read more...] about Game Review: Bow to Blood: Last Captain Standing
Game Review: She Remembered Caterpillars
Nothing that I love more than a good puzzle game, and She Remembered Caterpillars is one, and even more. Yes, there isn't a lot of action going on in the game, or is there? I say that because the game isn't really much, at least on the surface. I'll do my best to describe the gameplay as best as I can. In each level, the player takes the command of these bugs that look … [Read more...] about Game Review: She Remembered Caterpillars
Game Review: Valley
Valley is one of those games that follows a model that I wish all video games would follow. That is, make your story first, make it interesting and complicated, then build around that. I've spent the past few months playing Horizon Zero Dawn, and it is great to play a game that is all about exploring a very unique world and discovering the wonder therein. I'm not certain … [Read more...] about Game Review: Valley
Game Review: Claybook
Just for the sake of honesty, I usually do reviews of games that I believe that I will like. I don't like Real-time strategy games or turn-based games or deck-building games. When I heard about Claybook, I felt that I had to at least try it. After all, I do like puzzle games, and the format for Claybook is like that of a puzzle game. You know, where you go to one level, … [Read more...] about Game Review: Claybook
Game Review: Rad Rodgers Radical Edition
I keep feeling that the title of this game should be Rad Rodgers and the...something. I mean, if you are going to reference what would appear to be Buck Rodgers, you should end with some kind of joke like "and the 24th and a 1/2 century". Anyway, Rad Rodgers is essentially an average game, and if it wasn't for the modern-day graphics, it would have been pretty average if it … [Read more...] about Game Review: Rad Rodgers Radical Edition
Game Review: Pode
Pode is one of those games that is simply relaxing. Heck, I am told that even Captain Marvel herself, Brie Larsson, plays this game. However, don't just take the word of a celebrity, but the word of this writer: I love this game. Whenever I am watching a good movie or playing a good game, I talk about the "all in" moment. That is, there is something about this that … [Read more...] about Game Review: Pode
Game Review: City of Brass
This next game comes from the creators of BioShock, and even though I have only played Bioshock a few times, I can see the similarities. It has the first person POV, and the exploration of a place that is full of mystery as it is full of death. This is City of Brass, a game that I'm pretty certain is not related to the first book of the Daevabad trilogy. Don't feel bad if … [Read more...] about Game Review: City of Brass
Game Review: ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove for Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and Steam
I have to admit that I barely remember the first ToeJam and Earl game when it hit the Sega Genesis back in 1991. Believe me, I was old enough to play it, as a friend of mine in college had it. I remember this odd kind of co-op game where these two aliens, one skinny and one fat, just kind of wandered around. I will have to say that ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove is … [Read more...] about Game Review: ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove for Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and Steam
Game Review: Hyper Jam for Xbox One, PS4, and Steam
I'll go ahead and say that Hyper Jam is an homage to both the eighties with the use of the word "hyper" and the nineties with the use of the word "jam". It is able to bring in aspects of fighting games from both decades, as well as paying respects to modern fighting games like Smash Bros. Now, I am going to say that I am not into fighting games, as stuff like Mortal … [Read more...] about Game Review: Hyper Jam for Xbox One, PS4, and Steam
