In his first review, Kam from Gamer Heroes brings you the audio version of his review for Devil May Cry V!  A full written version of the review can be found below: For some reason or another, I missed every other Devil May Cry game up to this point.  I had always heard that they're incredibly difficult or that they're nonsensical and ridiculous or I even just didn't have the platform for the latest game.  Over time, my tastes (and financial situation) developed to where I was up for a challenge and embraced full-on batshit insanity and was feeling ready to jump into the next entry.  Once I saw the E3 2018 reveal, I felt an emotion that seemed a lot like love at first sight?  My point is, between my perception of what this series is and my infatuation with the announcement, my expectations were set pretty high.  I'm happy to report that it didn't just meet expectations, but blew them away entirely.  Hell, I'd say this is the coolest video game I've ever played. First, let me tell you about how impressiv

This week, we dive into Kam's thoughts on OVERWHELM, the current discourse on accessibility vs. difficulty, and how we'd like to see Borderlands 3 adapt to fit more into the modern games atmosphere.  Also we still find a way to squeeze Apex Legends into there somewhere.

Kam from Gamer Heroes brings you  his review of OVERWHELM for the Nintendo Switch!  A full written version of the review can be found below: In the interest of full disclosure, a copy of this game was provided by popagenda on behalf of the developer for review purposes. The version played for review was on the Nintendo Switch platform. Every once in a while, a game comes along that makes you appreciate the medium a little bit more. I hadn't really run across a game personally that nailed the experience of anxiety and hopelessness until I came across OVERWHELM. It's tense, it's hectic, it's even downright scary at times. True to its name, I was unbelievably tense and worried the whole game, but I just kept coming back for more. OVERWHELM is a side-scrolling action platformer with some horror elements thrown in. You play as a soldier sent into a heavily-infested series of caverns to combat something ominously referred to only as "the Hive." The goal is pretty straight-forward from the get-go: collect the

Welcome to episode two of Challenge Mode!  It's a series where we revisit video games, the culture surrounding them, and the people who play them!  Fun fact!  We recorded this before we had a name for the show!  We're professionals!
