If you were looking for a quality, action packed indie game, look no further! Antonblast combines blazing speeds with oh-so-satisfying destruction to create a one of a kind experience. Each level works wonderfully and uniquely, and the bosses are some of the greatest I've ever played. Though this game is rather difficult, that only makes destroying everything in your path that much more satisfying. Anton"blast" most certainly lives up to it's name and is well worth the price!

Buy Antonblast if you like:
- Being a crazy fast force of destruction,
- A unique set of levels, each of which brings something new to the table,
- Difficult levels and bosses to challenge you,
- Challenge modes and collectibles to bring you back for more,
- Headbanging music to accompany your rampage,
- And animations that remind you of old-school cartoons.

Avoid Antonblast if you dislike:
- Games that veer into the difficult side.
- ...
- Seriously, that's the only flaw I can think of.

The characters are all fun to play as and the pass is on sale. If you still aren't sure, use the rental tickets before you make up your mind.

I really wanted to see this game succeed but the devs just keep making bad choice after bad choice, so it's hard to put faith in them anymore.

For a relatively cheap game, Pizza Tower provides a buffet of content. After the appetizer that is beating each level and boss once, players are invited to return for ranks and secrets to keep them busy. The game is relatively easy to learn, and yet very satisfying to master with it's breakneck speeds and fluid controls making it perfect for speedruns. If you're looking for a simple, replay-able indie game to add to your collection, look no further than Pizza Tower!

Guilty Gear Strive is one of the most exciting fighting games on the market thanks to it's colorful cast of characters, high-octane pace, brilliant sound and visual design, and BY FAR the best soundtrack in the entire genre. However, if you wish to but this game, please be aware of it's limited content. Strive has only a mediocre-at-best arcade mode to keep solo players busy, limited modes of play, and a base roster of only 15 characters, 3 lower than Street Fighter 6 and 17 lower than Tekken 8. If you do not care about offline content, however, this game is worth it's relatively low price, whether you play it with friends or the world.

I played this game during it's free period (weekend of 2/18/2024) and unlike some of the other reviewers, I had a good time. It takes a while to get used to, but it's so much fun! The game is filled with single player content, of which a brilliant rouge-like campaign is the star, and excellent netcode for thrilling online matches! If you are interested in a fresh take on platform fighters, this may be the game for you, especially now that it's on sale!

FINAL SCORE: 6/10

If you are looking for a serious game, NO. If you are looking for a funny parody of politics with jokes originating from you know who, MAYBE.

The best way to describe NWO Wars is a parody game. The plot is mostly a parody, but it take's itself so seriously at times that I couldn't tell tell whether it's a parody or not. The levels are filled with enemies based off the things "he" dislikes, including the infamous GAY FROGS, but aside from that, the game doesn't do anything unique for any of it's levels, making for rather repetitive gameplay that gets old quick. The bosses, which are parodies of political figures he disagrees with, are rather simply designed and linear to fight. Finally, the game is rather short of content (I completed it in less than an hour).

Overall, the game feels like a quick cash-grab designed around making parodies of a certain man's viewpoints. The game's lack of a defining feature and repetitive gameplay loop, combined with the game taking itself too seriously for it's own good, result in a "meh" experience, suited maybe for the man's diehard fans and no one else.

SCORE: 9/10

Almost a year after release, Street Fighter 6 remains easily the best fighting game on the market, in my humble opinion. For casual players there's loads of content to dive into. The World Tour mode is a surprisingly fun campaign, Extreme Battles put some party-game style chaos into matches, and the options to simplify controls and power up less skilled players makes the genre more accessible than ever before. Meanwhile, competitive players can have their fun with a well-balanced roster and excellent net-code ensuring the highest quality matches. Overall, I'd say this game's only flaw is its absurd monetization, even for live-service standards; though buying anything in the in-game store is completely optional. Whether you are looking to dip your feet into the fighting genre or are an avid gamer looking for the definitive 1v1 combat experience, this is the game for you!
