TWK Reviews Episode 64: The Ups and Downs of Super Mario 64

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of the game that changed everything as we knew it, Super Mario 64 which was released in 1996 as the debut game for the Nintendo 64. Prior to this entry, Mario games were seen as relatively simple affairs. You’d go from left to right, reach the end of the stage, and repeat until you finished the game. Sure, there would be a secondary path or two that would lead you to an alternate exit but that was about it. Here…

TWK Reviews Episode 57: Final Fantasy 7 Remake is Almost Perfect

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of Final Fantasy 7 Remake for the Playstation 5. The original FF7 is among my absolute favorites so you can bet when the much anticipated remake was announced that I was beyond hyped for its release.   In my opinion, Square-Enix did a stellar job remaking it or at least remaking the first few hours and turning them into their own full blown RPG. Is there padding? Yes, but in the end I feel like it all works out. However,…

How well do they hold up after twenty plus years? Only one way to find out and that’s to play them…

Hello Hero-Club, TDub here, and welcome to my review of WWE’s annual video game release, WWE 2K23! For the first time since the series’ return with, WWE 2K22, 2K has managed to release a yearly sequel. Interestingly, with the return to the usual format, the game, itself has been seen as quite the big deal.   For those unaware, WWE 2K20, was the culmination of every bad decision that 2K could possibly make. As a result, WWE 2K20 ended up becoming the most glitch filled, high-budgeted wrestling game in recent…

TWK Reviews Episode 49: Portal 2 Still Holds Up

T Dub

Hello, Hero-Club, TDub here once again with a video game review! For this time around, I am taking a look at the 2011 classic from Valve, Portal 2! For those unaware or too young to know, before creating the Steam store, Valve used to regularly develop and publish video games. Not only that, but almost every release would become an instant classic. For example, Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, and Portal were those games.   To say that Portal took the gaming world by storm…
