When we say that Shidosha has an interesting taste in games, we are not exaggerating. Are you into bullet hell shooters? How about dating sims? Well if that piques your interest, Kamikaze Lassplanes may be a game you need to check out. This may not be the style of game you expect from a Polish studio but developer Inky Dreams Studios are true fans of the genre. They describe the game as an action…
No Love Lost is a new extraction shooter from Ratloop Games Canada. You are dropped onto an alien world and have to compete against not only the enemy team but the environment as well. The concept of an extraction shooter is not new but the team-based competitive elements make things feel a little fresh. There are a ton of customization options so you can choose or create the best style that…
PAX continues to deliver new and unique gaming experiences. This year, one of our favorite games was Heartworm, a PS1 style horror game with Tank controls. Inspired by games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Dino Crisis, Heartworm aims to scratch that nostolgic itch that some many people have been feeling. You play as Sam, a woman plagued by the deaths of those close to her. Armed with a…

It’s been a while since we first got word that the great Amy Hennig was working on a new Black Panther and Captain America game. After creating something like Uncharted, many couldn’t wait to see what was next from Amy. Her highly anticipated Star Wars game was canceled so many were delighted when they got word of a new project. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra follows Captain America and Azzuri,…
I have been on the search for a decently priced wireless keyboard and there is no shortage these days. Our friends over at Mad Catz sent over their S.T.R.I.K.E. 11 mechanical keyboard for us to try out. The first thing you will notice is its unique design. The red and black colorway is striking (no pun intended) but not too much. The space key pops with Mad Catz’s signature claw design and there…
Nanoleaf has been one of the market leaders in the gaming lighting space for years now. They have a variety of products to level up not only your office space but your entertainment system. The Nanoleaf 4D kit is definitely one of the best led kits that I have tried. The camera takes the immersion to a different level and reflects the colors from the shows/movies you are watching onto the surface…

AR and VR were some of the bigger topics during this year’s CES. Last year I was able to go hands-on with the Pimax Portal but this year it was all about the Pimax Crystal. The Pimax Crystal has some of the highest quality when it comes to VR headsets on the market. Each eye puts out 4K resolution at 72Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and soon 60Hz. Comparing this to the various headsets that I have used over…

Videogames based on movies have been around as far back as the release of E.T. on the Atari back in 1982. Movie-based video games have not always been the best experiences but they sold because gamers were familiar with the characters and franchises. In recent years, the gaming community has been blessed with games like Marvel’s Spider-Man, the Arkham series of games, and many Star Wars games.…
If you enjoyed Celeste and games like Metroid and Castlevania, Lucid is a game that you need to keep your eye out for. We have had the chance to check out Lucid a couple of times over the last few years. PAX West 2023 gave us our first hands-on experience and it was a great time. Once we made it back, we had a chance to talk to the game’s creator, Eric Manahan from The Matte Black Studio. Check…
Live-action video game adaptations continue to get better and better. The Last of Us showed us what was possible when retelling the stories of a great video game on screen. Amazon has proven itself with shows like ‘The Boys’ and “Gen V’ so we are excited to see what they do with the Fallout series. Seeing so many familiar characters and settings in this trailer was great. Even though this is only…
Prepare yourselves, because we’ve got some news that’s hotter than a stolen Infernus. That’s right – Rockstar just announced the release date for the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer. Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and maybe call in “sick” (don’t do this) on December 5th because this is one event you won’t want to miss! It’s been a loooong decade since we first roamed the streets of Los Santos…

Can’t make it in person? No sweat!…
As I mature in my gaming journey, I have increasingly enjoyed the soul-like genre. I have a new level of patience when it comes to diving into more challenging games and you are really going to need that patience when playing Lords of the Fallen. I was a fan of the original Lords of the Fallen game when it was released in 2014 even though I didn’t make it too far into the game. I have a newfound…
