Costume Quest 2 Review (PC)

November 18, 2015

Costume Quest 2 is a simple and sweet JRPG that uses the power of Halloween to bring out the kid we all still have buried inside us. Though not very difficult or complex, Costume Quest 2 is a treat filled with witty jokes, dipped in good vibes, and covered in a delightfully spooky wrapper. For anyone who wishes they weren’t too old to go trick-or-treating, Costume Quest 2 will satisfy that sweet tooth. Costume Quest 2 is about a group of kids who stop an evil dentist from ruining Halloween by traveling through time to acquire an army and make Halloween illegal.

Super Mario Maker Review (Wii U)

November 16, 2015

Back when I was young, I was given a sketchbook for my birthday. With that, I drew a lot of sketches back when I had a lot of free time on my hands. One of those sketches would be my own Super Mario level. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who did this. For a long time fans wanted a game where they can create their own levels.

Bedlam Review (PC)

October 21, 2015

Bedlam is a classic first-person shooter based off of the 2013 book of the same name written by Christopher Brookmyre. A story about a scientist that is inexplicably trapped in a strange, yet familiar video game universe, Bedlam explores classic video game tropes from the 90’s and 80’s, while the main character, Heather Quinn, attempts to understand and possibly escape her new found digital prison. Though plagued by a few quality of design flaws, Bedlam is a fun and interesting romp that brings the classic FPS feel of games like Quake back to the modern gaming community.
