First released on Steam, Hollowbody has crept its way onto consoles to deliver an homage to late-nineties horror aesthetics that laid the groundwork for some of today’s most beloved titles. Taking heavy inspiration from Team Silent’s “Silent Hill” series, with a dash of Danny Boyle’s “28 – Later” franchise, Hollowbody’s launching point should be a spook-filled success. Does it stick the landing is the real question.

“Nick Nick Nick Nick na Nick Nick Nick Nickelodeooooon”. Hearing that chant coming from my TV speakers for the first time in a few years, I knew I was in for a nostalgic time with the new Rugrats Retro Rewind Collection.

Stranger Than Heaven is looking like it’s going to be RGG’s biggest and most ambitious game yet.

I’m not quite a noob when it comes to fighting games and the genre as a whole. But after my first night with Guilty Gear Strive game, I may as well have been. I’ve always been a Tekken guy. I’m awful at it, but I’ve grown up playing it with family and always loved my time with its entries. So when Guilty Gear Strive came up due to its 2.0 update, I thought maybe it’s time for something different. And I’m glad I did! That’s not to say there hasn’t been disappointment, but more on that later.
