WWE 2K22 [Review]: It Hits Adequate.

WWE 2K22 is a good game. If you enjoyed WWE 2K19 as much as I did (yeah, 19.. not 2K20.. ugh), then there's no doubt that you're going to pour many hours, days and months into the latest WWE video game. 2K22 is also the first true wrasslin' title on current gen consoles -- a …

THE BATMAN [Review]: Nearly Puuurrrfect.

For over 30 years, Batman ’89 and Michael Keaton have stood the test of time as my favorites of the Batman franchise, but last night, Matt Reeves’ The Batman (even surprisingly to me!) now takes the top spot. The Batman takes sharp deviation from any of its predecessors and offers a super-noir, pulse-pounding, cinematic thriller, …

HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST [Review]: A Beautiful, Bloated Adventure.

When Horizon Zero Dawn didn’t win GOTY in 2017, I teared up. When I revisited Zero Dawn in preparation for the sequel, I discovered the game wasn’t as strong as I remembered. I figured that perception stemmed from the game’s age showing; but, after playing Horizon Forbidden West, I realized that maybe this open world …

ACTION ARCADE WRESTLING [Review]: No World Order.

So this game is awful. My God. It is rough being a wrestling fan if all you have is a Nintendo Switch. There's the nightmare that is WWE 2K18 (that runs slower than Otis jogging through oatmeal) and Retromania Wrestling, which is great for a day or two, then it hits you: "All the wrestlers …

SIFU [Review]: You And I Have Unfinished Business!

I thought my time with challenging games were reserved for Elden Ring, but here comes Sifu making my hands sweaty. This is a game where you’ll need to repeat levels and bosses to perfection. At its core, Sifu is a beat em’ up game, but you won’t just be spamming punch or kick, and eating …
