Call of Duty: Vanguard | PS4 Multiplayer Review

Warming up to Vanguard's latest multiplayer experience hasn't been the easiest of tasks. There are some things the game does not initially explain which are crucial to having a more enjoyable time. Though there are plenty of familiar aspects to it, and some slightly enhanced features this latest Call of Duty is a beast all unto itself. Some players will swear up and down that it's the worst game in the series while others might tell you it's alright. In my opinion it makes running and gunning doable again, and camping less of an issue.

Gynoug | PS4 Review

Gynoug, or Wings of Wor was originally a Sega Mega Drive exclusive which was released in 1991 by Masaya Games. The same development studio that made the questionably erotic shmup Cho Aniki. This insane metal as f**k shmup that is Gynoug comes at the player balls to the wall with no explanation whatsoever, much like the studio's other wacky release. There's no story, and no mechanics breakdown beyond the control map menu. All I know, and all most players of the game know is that you are a winged angelic warrior who is out shooting the hell out of twisted creatures. Creatures that include Masonic symbols, no less ...

Circa Infinity | Nintendo Switch Review

What's white, black, and red all over? Reddeer's "Circa Infinity"!!! This perplexing platformer puzzle of a game that is definitely not a newspaper holds no hands as you start your playthrough. There's no tutorial, and beyond the humanoid figure falling into the circular abyss there's not much else disclosed. Lucky for you I figured it out fairly easily. Circa Infinity is definitely a play on it's namesake. It features circles within circles with pie shaped slices slightly detached. These pie shaped slices act as flipping entry points for the outside walking humanoid. A way to fall further down into the depths of wherever the hell it is you're going, and it might in fact be hell considering the dangerous red demons you encounter along the way.

Cotton 100% | PS4 Review

You know you're in for a treat when the first thing you hear at a game's title screen is one of the best parts of Beethoven's 9th Symphony done in bit tune. That is the case with "Cotton 100%", and it's Western port from ININ Games. Originally developed by Success for the Super Famicom, and published by Datam Polystar in 1994 this retro Cotton themed shmup in all it's original glory delivers the experience in a more digestible and modernized form. More basic than previous entries, but staying true to the base mechanics we've witnessed up to this point. In it we find Cotton, and her fairy sidekick Silk once again in hot pursuit of willow candies. That and trying to save the world from the peril of monsters. Whether or not they come out victorious, and with willow in hand is up to you, the player.
