All Thumbsticks Game Review: Ryse: Son of Rome
You know that feeling of when you see a game a long time ago, then all of a sudden you get it as part of a winter sale and realize how it should’ve gotten attention? That’s the feeling I get when I rediscover the interactive movie phenomenon The Order 1886. Games that are marketed to be launch titles but then fall to the wayside in comparison to larger name brand recognition, like Killer Instinct (2013), Halo, and Gears of War to name a few. It’s a shame, considering this is

All Thumbsticks: Stranger Things 3: The Game
Alright, I admit it. I really like Stranger Things. From its debut on Netflix and now on its third season- where did the time go- on July 4th 2019, the Duffer Brothers attempted to make the birthday of our nation into an 80s filled action thriller with the kids and adults of Hawkins, Indiana. With the teens trying to move on into teen life, what better way to commemorate the long anticipated third season with a video game? Stranger Things 3 The Game, developed by BonusXP, is

All Thumbsticks: South Park: The Stick of Truth
Say what you will about the gross, explicative filled, and parodic cultural phenomenon that is South Park, but Trey Parker and Matt Stone are visionaries of their time. Reaching 22 seasons, South Park has garnered fans in the millions with its tongue in cheek gross out humor. So, naturally, the question was “when will South Park be a video game?” In the television show’s history, there have been South Park licensed games, from its first 3D game on the Playstation to the mobil

All Thumbsticks: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
How far would you go in order to save someone that you loved? Would you go down to Hell itself? These questions ring through Senua’s head besides the voices in her head throughout her story, leading to a climatic realization that true battles are fought in the mind as well as in reality. In this award-winning game, Ninja Theory makes a remarkable return to form and tell a story fueled by research. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, is a third person action-adventure game developed

All Thumbsticks with Johan: De Blob 1 Review
3D platformers are the rage for the gaming market- and why wouldn't they be? They're accessible for all gamers; from gaming veterans to kids getting their first console. It's not like Call of Duty with its confusing first-person perspective, nor it is Fortnite with its online. It's Mario, it's Sonic during his Genesis golden years. It's a timeless genre that will never grow old. So, what does this game have to bring to the table as a linear semi-open world game? De Blob, deve
