Video Game Sequels That We Need

For many decades the video game industry has been able to pop out some amazing sequels. Mass Effect 2, Fallout 3, Street Fighter 2 just to name a few. But what about a game that doesn't have a sequel. There are many games out there that have captivated a player and even left an opening for a sequel. Only for us to not get one.

Summertime Madness Review

Puzzle games are oftentimes quite divisive. It's a balancing act. The art of trying to hit the sweet spot of just the right degree of challenge for the player whilst also keeping it fun, engaging, and compelling. Summertime Madness aims to master this balance whilst also exploring some salient themes like faith, love, despair, pain, and hope. A brush with Madness in Summertime Developed by the small Italian team DP Games, this port of the 2021 PC release is brought to console aided by the porting/publishing talents of the team at Sometimes You. The small install size of the game means it can be kept on console and used as a pallet cleanser between bigger titles. If you enjoy reading this review check out our other Puzzle Game Reviews.

Gravity Chase Review

Gravity Chase is the latest retro-inspired anti-gravity racer developed and published by Repixel8 (Velocity G, Formula Retro Racing). Races take place within or outside of tunnel tracks. They require skill and precision to pick up powerups and keep ahead of the competition. Gravity Chase is available on Xbox consoles and Steam as of January 21st, 2022. Gravity Chase may be on rails, but don't let that fool you. As a kid, I never spent much time in what I would consider a full-on arcade. Sure there were some cabinets in places like the movie theater, but not really any buildings dedicated primarily to them. I did spend enough time playing some though to recognize a game that could easily have been in one of those cabinets when I see one. Gravity Chase is certainly one of those games. ...
