Review – Final Fantasy VII Remake
If you know me, it might surprise you to hear that I actually like Final Fantasy VII. I was skeptical about a remake, and I still think it's lame Square Enix is splitting it into three parts? Does VII Remake suggest it was worth it. Pfft, no it does not.

Review – Metal Slug
Do you know the Tragically Hip song "Bobcaygeon?" That's actually the next town over from where I grew up. There was a bowling alley there (it burned down), and they had a limited number of arcade machines. For a period, one of these machines was Metal Slug. I've been in love ever since.

Review – Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
I stopped following the Resident Evil series after the disappointment that was Resident Evil 5. I didn't stop caring, though, so I was happy to see it return to horror. And Resident Evil 7 is a good time, just, you know, barring a few problems I had with it.

Review – The Manga Works
I like to consider myself a writer. Sometimes. Not a manga writer, but I craft stories. Not right now, this... this is just conversational writing. But I still stay perched in front of my craft for unhealthy amounts of time each day, just like what is conveyed in The Manga Works.

Review – Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
Nazis are easily some of the most fun-to-kill bad guys in video games. This goes back well before Wolfenstein 3D, but the series has really run with it. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a step back from the tech Nazis of The New Order but feels weirdly fresh.

Review – Cyberpunk 2077
I love cyberpunk, by which I mean the genre, not the game. The game is just all right. I'm not mad about its launch. To be honest, I didn't care. But even with all its performance issues and bugs under control, Cyberpunk 2077 is just another open world game.

Review – Signalis
The survival horror genre was reasonably long-lived but eventually went to where all dead genres go: the indie and alternative markets. Very rarely does one arrive from the big budget space, and if it does, it's a remake. Case in point, here's Signalis, which takes inspiration from survival horror of old.

Review – Army Men: Air Attack (Air Combat)
If someone tells me that there was a game in the Army Men series that they liked, I know it was probably this one. Air Attack borrows heavily from EA's Strike series, while transplanting it to a world of plastic soldiers. It's over pretty quickly, but it's still worth playing.

Review – Mutant Football League
Football is the dumbest of sports. Now that I have your attention, I don't really like football. I've tried. But even the blitziest of Blitzes didn't grab my goat horns. As it turns out, there is a way to get me to play football. Mutant Football League taught me.

Review – Cult of the Lamb
Not only will you get a review of Cult of the Lamb, you'll also get to hear about my family's adjacency and weird run in with an actual scary cult, the Ant Hill Kids. I'm not sure that many critics out there could really provide you with that perspective.
