I'll openly admit that as a kid, I was a huge fan of the original Power Rangers TV show. I've long since moved on from the series (is it considered a single series if it's been re-branded 50 million times? Whatever...), but there will always be a nostalgic place in my heart for MMPR. Naturally, when I heard of this game a couple years ago, I immediately took notice. However, a … [Read more...]
Owlboy – “What If Platformer/Shooter… But With Owls?”

Sadly, Pandemic has been out of business for some time now, and everyone … [Read more...]
Super Mario Odyssey – You Could Say My Hat Is Off To You
Wow... Super Mario Odyssey (SMO). What a game! After experiencing the horrid nightmare of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, I was sorely yearning for a proper new Mario game. And man oh man did Nintendo deliver. I would preface this by saying that I have never been the biggest fan of Mario's 3D adventures. In fact, 3D platformers in general have never been my cup of tea, I will … [Read more...]
