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

Game Review: JCB Pioneer Mars for the Nintendo Switch
I have to admit that I have never been into sandbox games, or strategy games, or other games where you just kind of click places and plan for stuff. Generally, I like games where you are doing things, and I'll say that I really enjoyed the opening to JCB Pioneer Mars. Maybe its because I've always like when science fiction meets near science fact. I have no idea if we … [Read more...] about Game Review: JCB Pioneer Mars for the Nintendo Switch
Gaming Review: Vane from Friend or Foe Games
I believe that when I first heard about Vane, I was told it was a "mesmerizing exploratory adventure". That description really fails when it comes to this game, and I'm going to see how well I can describe my experience. The beginning of Vane is unusual, as you play what looks like a young boy or girl walking on a landscape that is unraveling as you speak. The opening … [Read more...] about Gaming Review: Vane from Friend or Foe Games
Our Review of Two Terrific Surreal Video Games: The Gardens Between and My Brother Rabbit
In case you are not aware, I occasionally do video game reviews on my site, and it is rare that I review two games that are similar with their style. The style is that of surrealism, which can bring the player into worlds similar to that of a Salvador Dali painting. This is only one of the best aspects of The Gardens Between and My Brother Rabbit, and they are both great … [Read more...] about Our Review of Two Terrific Surreal Video Games: The Gardens Between and My Brother Rabbit
Downward Spiral: Horus Station Review
One of the things that is interesting about Downward Spiral: Horus Station is how it is an "anti-gravity game". I wasn't sure what it meant, but I will have to say that the controls of this game are unique as they are confusing. I played it on the PS4, and what you need to do is use the left controller to grab on to an object, and then push off. That's right, you are … [Read more...] about Downward Spiral: Horus Station Review
Human Fall Flat Game Review
The first thing that I am going to say about Human Fall Flat is it is a puzzle game. Puzzle games are always great because you use your mind, you solve something, but then the process repeats (both a blessing and a curse). The last two games that I reviewed, The Spectrum Retreat and The Path of Motus have had their series of puzzles, but they had a huge framing device of … [Read more...] about Human Fall Flat Game Review
The Path of Motus Game Review
I'm going to tell you that The Path of Motus is a very different game, and at first, I thought different was bad. What attracted me to this work is that I suspected this game was made for people on the autism spectrum. After all, there is kind of a thing with Minecraft and people with autism, and if you don't believe me, do some kind of Internet search. The game looks like … [Read more...] about The Path of Motus Game Review
Our Review of The Spectrum Retreat video game
The Spectrum Retreat is a first-person perspective game that uses a lot of puzzle-solving. I am told that the creator, Dan Smith, got a BAFTA Young Game Designers Award (YGD) when he was 18, and it is easy to believe. Assuming that this is Mr. Smith's first effort, it is quite a good one. I will have to say from the get-go that The Spectrum Retreat is an acquired taste. … [Read more...] about Our Review of The Spectrum Retreat video game
