Star Trek Prodigy Supernova

I want to just preface this review/commentary, right up front, that this game is no longer available on Steam. I have no idea about any other platforms or physical releases. Also probably notable, I have only watched maybe 2 episodes of Star Trek Prodigy, and I don't remeber them. That didn't stop me from enjoying the Transformers Earthspark game though, and it hasn't stopped me.from enjoying this game either. Its worth mentioning Earthspark a bit here. Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova, which is a dumb mouthful of a name, felt a lot like Transformers Earthspark. And so I checked and, its…

Review – Transformers: Earthspark Expedition

I have to say up front, I have never watched this show at all. I do have several of the toys from it, but I have no idea what the show is like or how these characters act here compared to the show. That said, IMDB tells me all of the voice cast is different anyway. Also, from what I have gathered, the show follows the human cast, and these sort of, young Transformers, this game features those other Transformers, but centers on Bumblebee, whom is the only playable character. That out of the way, the basic premise of Transformers…

Review – Hogwarts Legacy (PC)

(Note, this is long.... like, rally long.... 5000 words long....) Hogwarts Legacy is a game with a lot of controversy surrounding it. I'll probably mention it a bit, but I really don't plan to delve too deep into the topic, if I did it would be part of a separate, larger post. Well, the main controversy involving Rowling's stupidity online, among other things. The other, less critical controversies around the game itself I'll get a bit more into. I also want to put out two things, up front. One, I received this game from an online raffle, I didn't buy…

Review – Soul Blazer (SNES)

On a bit of a whim, I decided to pick up and play through Soul Blazer for the SNES. I know I have heard of this game previously ages ago, probably in Nintendo Power, I'm surprised I never tried it in the past honestly. Anyway, it turns out it's a bit of a hidden gem of a game. It kind of feels like if Gauntlet and Zelda had a baby, though it's better than Gauntlet, not as good as Zelda. You play as this sort of spiritual angel entity, come to the world to save it from destruction, except the…

Review – Blaster Master Zero (PC)

Growing up in the 80s, my friends and I played a lot of NES games. One of our absolute favorites was Blaster master. It had a lot of unique elements to it for the time, specifically, the back and forth exploration of areas, and the cool car, which you could eject from. Though at the time there wasn't a term for it, it was very much in the vein of Metroidvania games. Mostly open world exploration, returning to zones with new abilities and upgrades, all very much hallmarks of that type of game. The series seemed to, not really go…
