TWK Reviews Episode 76: Is WWE 2K24 Universally Great?

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and today we’re talking about the latest entry from both WWE and 2K, the aptly titled WWE 2K24 and for the sake of full transparency, the version I’m playing is the Playstation 5 version. One of the more interesting things regarding the WWE 2K series is how it all traces itself back to the SmackDown games on the Playstation 1 (shout out to Sony for keeping a consistent naming scheme going whilst Microsoft continues to make things confusing AF) and those first few titles were…

TWK Reviews Episode 75: Was WWE 2K15 Really That Bad?

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my review of WWE 2K15 which is the WWE 2K debut on the Playstation 4/XBox One systems. From the game’s debut to now it is among one of the more maligned titles in the franchise and within this video you will see why but before we get to that let’s talk about CM Punk. You see, this game is the final time we get to play as Mr. Punk until his return to the virtual squared circle in 2023’s AEW Fight Forever…

TWK Reviews Episode 69: Celebrating 25 Years of Ocarina of Time

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, TDub here and welcome to my video celebrating twenty five years of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time which was released on the Nintendo 64 back in 1998. To say Ocarina of Time changed how games were made is an understatement. You can, more or less, see how 3D games were programmed pre and post-Ocarina of Time.   I know that with all of the praise this games receives that also means there is the inevitable backlash as well and while it isn’t perfect, OoT is…

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…

T Dub

Hello, Hero Club, and welcome to my latest video wherein I will be defending the remake of the original Yakuza game, Yakuza: Kiwami which was released for the Playstation 4 back in 2016 but has in recent years been made available on ye olde X Bone as well. If you’ve never played a Yakuza game before then allow me to explain what exactly we’re getting ourselves into. The series is an open world, role playing, beat-em-up set in Japan and mostly in the fictionalized Tokyo district known as Kamurocho. And…

TWK Reviews Episode 50: A Hat in Time is Indie Gaming Perfection

T Dub

Hello, Hero-Club, TDub here with another video game review. Today, we are taking a look at the smash hit from Gear For Breakfast, A Hat in Time. Now, A Hat in Time is a throwback to the collect-a-thons of days gone. We are talking the likes of Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro the Dragon, Jak and Daxter, etc. So, as someone who grew up in that era of games, this was tailor made to scratch that nostalgia itch.   For those who never played a game like this, then good…

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…

TWK Reviews Episode 47: Getting Nostalgic with DBZ Budokai 2

T Dub

Hello there Hero-Club, TDub here once again with another video game review. This time I am looking at a fighting game adaptation of the iconic Dragon Ball Z series known as Budokai 2. Now, for anyone uninitiated, Dragon Ball Z is the second part of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball franchise. Originally starting as Dragon Ball, then transitioning into Z the series would go onto become an international sensation. Then GT immediately followed Z, but it was entirely produced by Toei Animation, which most fans did not enjoy.   Thankfully, none…

Hello there Hero-Club, my name is TWK and I am a new member here at the site.
