About Kirk Hiner

Raised on Intellivision and Star Frontiers, I've been a gamer since I was old enough to say, "There's nothing on TV." There's still nothing on TV so I'm still playing games, and I likely will be until I'm able to retire to Wuhu Island.

Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless will overwhelm new players at the start. But once you get over the hump (perhaps with the help of an online guide), it’ll likely become one of the most unique and inviting SRPGs you’ve played in quite some time.

Review: Dynablaster (Nintendo Switch)

If you haven’t figured it out from the screenshots, Dynablaster is basically a reskinning of the early Bomberman games, albeit with some modern features. Are these improvements enough to justify the asking price?

Review: Shark! Shark! (Nintendo Switch)

The premise of Shark! Shark! is incredibly simple; you’re a small fish who has to grow by eating even smaller fish. The larger you grow, the larger the fish you can eat. But there’s a shark, and it seems to have interest in you alone all Jaws IV style.

Review: Trombone Champ (Nintendo Switch)

Trombone Champ doesn’t really want you to become good at it. In some songs, I’d argue it doesn’t even let you. The songs feel more like slapstick comedy sound queues, and that means the game is more fun to play with your (band) mates.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba­- Sweep the Board! announced for Switch

Because…why not? Why not take the heart-wrenching, bloody, brutal adventures of Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado and mash them up with the joyful, innocent, childlike board games of Mario and Peach? To question it is to question the worlds of anime and Nintendo themselves.
