Videogame Review: ‘Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’

November 30, 2023

OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Back when Stan Lee created him in 1962, everybody’s favorite web-slinger was one of the first superheroes to whom adolescents could relate. More than six decades later, that theme continues to be highlighted in “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2”

Videogame Review: ‘Assassin’s Creed Mirage’

Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Though it includes some gory interludes, “Assassin’s Creed Mirage” (Ubisoft) is also educational insofar as it explores – and celebrates – the Golden Age of Islam.

Videogame Review: ‘Lies of P’

October 26, 2023

Like its classic source, “Lies of P” encourages players to ponder what it means to be human as well as the ethical status of deception.

Videogame Review: ‘Immortals of Aveum’

First-person shooter games don’t often involve fantasy. But the visually pleasing “Immortals of Aveum” (Electronic Arts) — which also boasts a talented voice cast and quickly paced action — combines these elements to good effect.

Videogame Review: ‘Under the Waves’

September 21, 2023

OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

People often use the phrase “drowning in grief” to describe an experience of profound loss. “Under the Waves” (Quantic Dream) makes that phrase come alive by placing an acutely bereaved character in the depths of the ocean.

Videogame Review: ‘Stray Gods: The Role-Playing Musical’

September 14, 2023

OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Greek mythology continues to fascinate both the producers and consumers of modern-day entertainment. Its many tales and characters seem perpetually fresh, and their re-use tethers us to a rich literary past. Gamers will find a case in point in “Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical” (Humble).

Videogame Review: ‘Bramble: The Mountain King’

August 31, 2023

OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Some fairy tales have a dark side and are thus better suited to grown-ups than to kids. The narrative that unfolds in “Bramble: The Mountain King” (Merge) is one example of this.

Videogame Review: ‘Resident Evil 4’

August 2, 2023

OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Good but gruesome more or less sums up “Resident Evil 4” (Capcom).

Videogame Review: ‘Diablo IV’

July 5, 2023

OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

The latest title in a franchise that’s been going strong since 1997, “Diablo IV” (Blizzard) sees an epic confrontation between a rogue angel and a fugitive demon, with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance.

Videogame Review: ‘Death or Treat’

June 8, 2023
By Adele Chapline Smith
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Beautiful artwork is one of the few assets “Death or Treat” (Perp Games) has going for it. But that’s not enough to redeem this slightly macabre 2D action game, which otherwise feels feeble.

Videogame Review: ‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’

June 1, 2023
By Adele Chapline Smith
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

While this chapter of Zelda’s story includes little in the way of inappropriate content, the challenges within it are too taxing for little kids.

With its winning story and endearing animations, “Tin Hearts” (Wired Productions) proves a golden option for gamers.
