Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PC Sonar Beat is a rhythm game that previously saw release on PC and the PlayStation 4. It's now available on the Nintendo Switch, a console that is no stranger to great rhythm titles. Sonar Beat is a bit different though as it's a smaller indie title that features gameplay that takes place entirely within a radar interface. Unique doesn't always mean good though, so let's take a deeper look at this game and see if it's for you. By Manuel Players: 1-4
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBox, PC Legend Bowl is a retro-inspired football game that takes sports video games back to their roots, and is something of a spiritual successor to games like Tecmo Bowl. Originally released on Steam, it's now available on all major consoles letting gamers of all types experience its unique mix of arcade-style gameplay with sim-based mechanics.

Does a football game without a big license have what it takes to compete with the Maddens of the world? Well, let's tackle this game and find out!

Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBox, PC (via Epic Games Store) The first episode of The Expanse: A Telltale Series was released on July 27th, 2023, co-developed by TellTale Games and Deck Nine, and published by TellTale Games. For the purposes of this review it was played on a PS5, but it's also available for PC, PS4, and Xbox Series X/S. I’ll start this review with a disclaimer that I played only the first episode so far, and I experienced it as someone who has not watched the TV show or read the series that the game is based on. This is all from the perspective of someone who is new to the source material. By Al Players: 1
