Video Game Generations

…the kind of content you find sick and irredeemable, and if you enjoy horror games, you'll probably love Hellraiser Revival. My late ex-girlfriend was a fan of the movies. I never really was, but I re-watched the first three recently in preparation and now I think I'm a fan too.

…sex and nudity, torture, profanity, and at times vulgar turns of phrase that seem to push the boundaries of what even an M-rated game can be. It's a horror game akin to the more modern Resident Evil, in first person, with melee weapons, guns, powers, and puzzles. If it's not…

Mini-Review: Hellraiser Revival (PS5 Pro) Usually when I pick screenshots to go along with my mini-reviews, I only have to skip ones that give too much away; moments I don't want to spoil, surprise reveals, and so on. This time, my captures are a veritable minefield of gore,…

I guess "eventually" is today, because I just did this after having zero hype for Switch 2 (the sham of key cards and rumors of higher game prices at launch). I guess it's an early birthday present to myself. With a new Metroid next year and an upcoming new Xenoblade, I had to.

…able to take on every challenge (and get the platinum trophy) without ever turning on any assists. Remedy Games' unique style shines throughout, but it wasn't until a lengthy late-game flashback section that I thought WOW - they surprised me again. One of my favorites of 2026.

…weapon upgrades - something the game explained (I think) but I misunderstood. At least I wasn't confused on unlocking talents (skills). By the end, I loved it too. I was zipping and zooming and almost flying through the several open-zone regions of weirdly twisted Manhattan,…

Mini-Review: Control - Resonant (PS5) For some reason, I was a good 15 hours into this game before it finally started to grab me. I don't think that's typical, as most people seem to love it from the start. I struggled with combat, until I realized you "level up" by unlocking…

…console). Some sections reunite the two, and then it's about coordinating efforts and sharing suggestions. As tends to happen, this caused a few arguments, but also several great "a ha, we did it" moments (breaking the 4 crystals was our favorite). Does require PS Plus to play.

…find them impossibly frustrating at the same time. There's no split-screen mode, since the idea is for both players to solve and progress by communicating things that the other player can't see (ex: one player sees symbols on a wall that the other player needs to enter into a…

Mini-Review: We Were Here Tomorrow (PS5 Pro) The latest in this co-op puzzle adventure series brings two explorers to the future, into a sprawling facility where science experiments have gone awry. Playing through it with my son reminded me just how much I love these games AND…

Absolutely nobody is talking about Warrior Cats, but this might be fun. It might also finally get me to write a VGGN issue about games where you play as a cat, which I’ve been postponing for a year.
