Fast Striker Review
Shmups should be considered a lost art. The days are in long gone where gamers would see a number of shmups in local arcades. This is definitely a niche title Fast Striker fits right into this crazy genre. The game was originally released for Neo Geo MVS in 2010. But as of now the game has made its way to the Vita and PS4, how does it stand up to other shmups?
Log Jammers Review
Log Jammers from Mega Cat studios is best described as Windjammers meets Pong. While originally a NES Kickstarter, this release has founds its way to Steam and players can grab a demo before it comes out in 2019. Hands down, if gamers are looking for something fun to play during a party or an a monthly game night, Log Jammers should be added to the list.
Red Faction Guerilla Re-Mars-tered Review
Welcome to Mars! If you are one of those gamers who never played Red Faction Guerilla before, drop everything and go get it. The Re-Mars-tered edition is just as much fun as the original. It is the kind of game anyone can pick up and play..

Milanoir Review
Who doesnt like gangster themed games? Who doesnt love HBO’s Sopranos? Milanoir toes the line between bad bad action movies from the 1970s and stereotypical gangster movies. Gamers are playing as a mid level gangster on a quest to rise in the ranks. The big question is how does Milanoir stack up against everything in the crowded Switch’s library?
Nihilumbra Review
The Switch is really hitting it’s stride with Indie platformers recently. The latest to meet the requirements is Nihlumbra. Players will be using the touchscreen and controls to navigate this interesting and dark world. But does this game have enough to make it stand out from the crowded Indie library on the Switch?
de Blob 2 Review
de Blob 2 is a sequel to 2008’s de Blob on the Wii. The funky paint filled platformer is back, but the question is how good is the game? Do the new features make it stand out enough from an already pretty crowded marketplace?

ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun Review
The Nintendo Switch is the perfect home for Indie games these days and ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun fits well on the Switch. This is a game that is well designed for short bursts of gameplay between those AAA titles but there might be more to this game than its cheap price.

Walking Dead New Frontier Review Episodes 3-5
Telltale has done an excellent job of wrapping of this latest installment of the Walking Dead series.

Episodes 3-5 are just as good as the first two and do a great job of wrapping up the game.
Brawlout Review
If Smash Brothers and Street Fighter combined games the results may be something like this. Brawlout is a fast paced game inspired by Smash Bros.
