I know it's incredibly rare, but once in a blue moon it does happen. Slice, walk, repeat. It's like a bad infomercial for some kind of knife set.Developed by FuncomPublished by Acclaim Entertainment1996Why listen to me over cheesier medieval-themed 90s classics like IGN, Gamespot, Gamespy, Giant Bomb, Destructoid, or GameTrailers? Well, I don't just review games from the eyes of a technical, professional First Knight. I also review games from the perspective of an actual Robin Hood: Price of Thieves.
Best Vampire Games - Victor Vran: Overkill Edition Review (PS4, Xbox 1, PC) stanburdman 2017-07-09 | A cool over the top action RPG where you are a hunter of vampires, demons, and all things that crawl at night and terrorize the sexy town...people.

Super Stardust Ultra Review (PS4) stanburdman 2017-05-29 | One of the most underrated casual games of all time. Ultra is like a mix of the Asteroids arcade game...and crack. It's really adding, you wouldn't think a casual game can eat up a lot of your time but as you try to survive through the various stages and gain as high a score as possible, the hours will just melt away.

Best Open World RPG? - NieR: Automata Game Review (PS4, PC, Steam) stanburdman 2017-05-14 | A really great open-world action RPG, that's also really weird. Kind of par for the course for a Japanese game though. It would be weird if a Japanese game WASN'T weird. While this is a non-direct sequel to 2010's NieR, the game is actually part of the Drakengard series; a collection of games that share unique themes and gameplay features.Developed by PlatinumGamesPublished by Square Enix2017Playstation 4, PC, Steam, not so fast Xbox OneGenre: Open World RPG, JRPG, Action RPG, Post-Apocalyptic, Steam Punk
Abzu Game Review (PS4, Xbox One, PC, Steam) (2016) (HD Gameplay) stanburdman 2017-05-07 | One of the most casual games ever made.

Better than Far Cry? - Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 Review stanburdman 2017-05-06 | This is a good open world city sandbox in the vein of Far Cry and Just Cause. While it focuses its first person combat on long range sniper combat, much like Sniper 3, the gameplay is versatile to the point where you can be any kind of soldier you choose, just play smart. This third entrance into the Sniper: Ghost Warrior series does not hold your hand.Developed and Published by CI Games2017Playstation 4, Xbox 1, PC, SteamGenre: FPS, City Sandbox, Open World, Sniper, Stealth

The King of Fighters 99 Millennium Battle Game Review (PS1) stanburdman 2017-04-20 | King of Fights '99 is an excellent fighting game that is easy to pick up and play.

Driver 2 Game Review (PS1) stanburdman 2017-04-10 | I never think of Driver 2: The Wheelman Is Back as one of my favorite Playstation One games, but, it is. Games like Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid come to mind first, but, Driver 2 is easily my 3rd favorite PS1 game, behind those. It's just the perfect car game, great graphics, a gritty 1970s/80s cop drama setting, several different large cities to explore, and a ton of gameplay variety. Driver 2 is a trailblazer, a game far ahead of its time and system capabilities. A modern city sandbox for an old school console.Developed by Reflections InteractivePublished by Infogrames2000Systems: PSX, Game Boy AdvanceGenre: Driving, Racing, Car Simulation, Crime Drama
Quake II Game Review (PS1) (1999) stanburdman 2017-04-08 | A classic first person shooter. The game has this cool futuristic/horror atmosphere that is accompanied by bad ass rock music, it makes you feel like the protagonist is the baddest man that ever lived, and judging by the amount of bad guys he owns with his slew of weapons, that may just be the case.Developed by HammerheadPublished by Activision1999Systems: PSX, N64, PC, Amiga, Dreamcast, Xbox 360, The ZeeboGenre: Shooter, First Person Shooter, War Game

Best Mario Kart-like Games - Table Top Racing: World Tour Review (PS4) stanburdman 2017-04-07 | People say the best things in life are free, but I think the best things in life are simple. This is a very basic cart racing game with nothing really flashy or special about it....BUT, it does have good car handling, good music, and smooth graphics.

A Kings Tale: Final Fantasy XV Game Review (PS4) stanburdman 2017-04-02 | A brand new Final Fantasy game you've never heard of. It's a beat em up, action RPG of sorts. In the game you play as King Regis, the father of the protagonist from the main game. He seems...kind of cooler than his son, and is definitely better at combat. Is it weird that I like this spin-off MORE than the actual Final Fantasy XV? No, no it's not.Developed & Published by Square Enix HoldingsSystems: Playstation 4, PSN, Xbox OneGenre: Beat em Up, 2D, Hack and Slash, Action RPG

Dick Tracy Game Review (1990) (Sega Genesis) stanburdman 2017-04-01 | A pretty good comic book/movie based game from the early years of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. It's a very simple game that has only three main actions, yet the difficulty gets insane and you have to have perfect timing to beat the levels. It's strangely like a rhythm game, very few buttons but you have to press them quickly and at the right time.Published by Sega1990Systems: Sega Genesis/ Mega Drive, Sega Master SystemGenre: Run and Gun...Walk and Gun? 3rd Person Shooter, Platformer, Action Adventure

Chicken Run Game Review (2000) (PS1) stanburdman 2017-03-29 | There is a surprisingly large amount of chicken-based games, it's like a sub-genre.

Gargoyles Game Review (1995) (Sega Genesis) stanburdman 2017-03-27 | A terrific platforming game with top notch graphics and a lot of variety. Be careful though, the difficulty can be pretty unforgiving. The game is based on a relatively short-lived mid 90s cartoon I used to watch on the...WB I think. It was often a very dark show, like a much darker version of the Superman cartoon, even the Batman cartoon.Developed by DisneyPublished by Buena Vista Interactive1995Systems: Sega GenesisGenre: Platformer, 2D game, Hack and Slash, Superhero Game

Best Spyro Game? - Year of the Dragon Review (PS1) (2000) stanburdman 2017-03-23 | Spyro and Crash are the reason the Playstation 1 is probably the best console of all time.

Cyberia Game Review (PS1) (1996) stanburdman 2017-03-23 | One of the strangest games you'll ever play. The game is set in the future and you...walk around and...do things? The graphics are prerenders so you don't have total control of your movement, you only "direct" the character where to go or what to do. It's the same thing for the flying and shooting parts of the game, the screen scrolls by itself, all you control the the crosshair.Developed by Xantrix EntertainmentPublished by Interplay 1994/1996Systems: PC, Sega Saturn, DOS, 3DO, PSX
