Family Video Game Review – Batman: The Telltale Series

By: William Gibbs Overall Review If there is one thing that must be stressed it is the following: Batman: The Telltale Series is not for children. A security guard is graphically shot in the head in the first 30 seconds of episode 1 and it maintains this level of graphic violence and profane language periodically […]
Family Video Game Review: The Last Guardian

The Last Guardian is game that has been in development at Studio Japan for almost a decade. It was originally announced before the PlayStation 3 was released. Having taken so long to be developed, I would not have been surprised if the game was never released at all. Trials and tribulations aside, the game was […]
Family Video Game Review: Final Fantasy XV

Final Fantasy XV is a game about a long road trip taken with friends. It all starts in the most idyllic way possible. It sputters. It comes to a full stop at points. There are arguments. There are plenty of outright fights. But, it all concludes in an almost surreal way. The funny thing about […]

That statement sounds crazy, but hear me out. Soccer (football everywhere else in the world) and basketball have nearly universal appeal the world over because of […]
Family Video Game Review – No Man’s Sky

Our No Man’s Sky Review was written by a guest writer: James Pisano! My whole body aches… eyes closed, still half conscious… I realize that I have no idea what happened or how I got here. As I open my eyes, the light of an alien sun assaults my senses. I feel the sting of […]

Family Video Game Review: Mighty No. 9

Mighty No. 9 is a game that had more potential than it had any right to. But, all of that potential was left squandered in an experience that felt hollow at its best and annoying the rest of the time. Keiji Inafune just about set the world on fire with his Kickstarter campaign a few years […]
