Party Hard 2 (REVIEW)

Sadistically satisfying is this stealth serial killer simulator. Teeming with many taboos including that of wanton murder, prostitution, and drug dealing 'Party Hard 2" once again puts you in the shoes of a serial killer insomniac known as the Party Hard Killer whose sleep is interrupted by obnoxious party goers. Going postal through pixelated perfection this serial killer that you control must utilize the environmental hazards around him, collected items found along the way, weapons on hand, preternatural abilities, and stealth to do the dirty deeds per checklist while avoiding an untimely death, and apprehension via the local police. Objectives are the key to completing each area themed episode, and unlocking the other protagonists as well as the underlying story at hand. Needless to say there are plenty of Easter eggs hidden among the rogue-like replays, and finding different ways to deal the death blow without being noticed in a timely fashion is where the true fun is to be had. If ever there was a 1,000 ways to die video game this would be it. That is if you consider the endless variety of deaths of the unsuspecting targets, and innocents who happen to cross your path to progress.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 (REVIEW)

Visually enhanced, retro inspired, and modernized for new player experience Activision's "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2" bundle aims to impress. Not only does it include crucial parts of the original releases in the form of memorable in-game content, skaters, and music, but it also adds some things from later entries. Namely Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. Along with the old, and the new players get more than their money's worth even when putting down fifty dollars for the digital deluxe version. With the price on point, and the fun to be had this remastering of the older greats could very well revitalize interest in the franchise, and steer it back on course to where it should always be.

RPG Maker MV (REVIEW)

Kadokawa, and NISA's "RPG Maker MV" is an RPG creation tool that bypasses the tedious task of coding, and lets players do the technical adjustments via a series of tool and value menu screens. You'll be able to create full length RPGs from the ground up. Everything from character and enemy creation to event management, and battle systems. Even the map transitions are at your beckon call. While the game does offer a brief introduction to all of it through a hands on tutorial most of the learning will be done through the HELP menu, and play testing along the way. Through the tutorial you will learn the basics of menus, menu navigation, and the base functionality of all that's available including the ability to upload and share your creation through the companion app that will be made available on launch.
