While we don’t have a review of Horizon Zero Dawn on the site, those of you who have read my work throughout the years, know that I loved the game’s visuals, storyline, and its main character. Given the above, I was thrilled when the Horizon Forbidden West was announced for PS4 and PS5. The first…

Sony Resurrects Days Gone as a Film After Canning its Game Sequel
Days Gone is a weird Sony IP. Long development struggles, a third party (Unreal 4) Engine, average critical scores, and less than stellar early sales, all hindered the franchise’s prospects. Days Gone is, certainly, Sony’s most recent ugly duckling. Sony prides itself on PlayStation being the home to the best exclusive games (85+ Metacritic ratings),…

This week,…
Throwback Bit Thursday: Sonic Generations
Sonic 3-D games, for the most part, have sucked. Don’t get me wrong, I highly enjoyed Sonic Adventure back in 1999-2000, but that might be the only 3-D game in the franchise that I thought was any good. My son (who is 5 years old) loves Sonic, he loves Mario too (and has played dozens…
