Mortal Kombat 1
Review – Gory Glory

Mortal Kombat 1's genre-leading single-player offerings are immediately apparent, but this latest entry also pushes forward the series' tight, brutal gameplay and excellent production values.

Review – A Flagrant Stepback

NBA 2K24 feels like a dull, lopsided blowout as opposed to a memorable, adrenaline-inducing affair like the ones cover star Kobe Bryant often blessed us with throughout his career.

WrestleQuest Review – Questionable Booking

Enjoyment can be found for those with the patience and fandom to fireman carry them along, but WrestleQuest's imaginative ideas die by a thousand cuts that hold Muchacho Man and his friends back from world title contention.

Review – Unnecessary Roughness

The improvements to the fundamental gameplay in Madden NFL 24 continue to pay dividends with some of the most authentic football the series has ever seen, but the user interface and poorly implemented features wipe out any forward progress.

Blasphemous 2
Review – Absolution

Blasphemous 2 takes inspiration from those that came before it, but by intertwining a gorgeous art style, enticing exploration, and rewarding combat, it rises above the horde of Castlevania-inspired action titles.

Exoprimal Review – Trojan Rex

Exoprimal may be feature-thin, but its creative subversion of expectations impressed me and I hope others study its approach to telling a robust narrative within a multiplayer framework.
