Road Redemption (Xbox One)
Road Rash debuted for the Sega Genesis in 1991. Sequels and ports to other consoles would continue until the year 2000 as the last game in the series, Road Rash: Jailbreak was released to the original Sony Playstation. It was the perfect motorcycle racing combat game, full of hard nosed fighting and a pulse quickening race system that kept making the player go for “one more try” to get first place. Though a few video game companies have tried to emulate the style over the last 15 years, nobody has really gotten it right (or even close in some instances). That is until Road Redemption came along.
Elea – Episode One (Xbox One)
Often on this site, I have talked about my deep appreciation for the publisher known as Soedesco. I have imported their physical games from Europe, I have bought some of their games here in the States, and have at the very least had an interesting experience with each of their games. They give the smaller developers a chance in a very crowded marketplace. As it turns out, when Soedesco did an open call for reviews of this game, I jumped right in and surprisingly they were more than willing to send me a code. Space Adventures, Devastating Secrets, and Wonderful Revelations, I’m certainly in.
Coming Soon, a Review for Elea – Episode 1 on Xbox One
Sometimes, if you ask, you shall receive. Most of you who read this site regularly know that I love to play Ziggurat, a game published by Soedesco. In fact, I’m very high on most games that are published by them and I’ve tweeted them a few times and have received responses which is uncommon but very appreciated.
Elea, developed by Kyodai and published by Soedesco is coming out September 6th to Xbox One and Steam. On a chance, after a Twitter post on Elea, I decided to tweet Soedesco asking to review the game. They surprisingly said yes (I did link them to previous reviews I had written so maybe that played some small role), and provided me with a code.
I expect to have a review done by September 8th, a couple of days after the game releases. I will be able to play it before September 6th, but they did also inform me a large patch is going up pre-release so I want to make sure that the screens I capture speak to the finished game, not a pre-build.
If you want to find out more about the game, click the picture above and you will be taken to Elea’s official site. Thanks and enjoy your Labor Day weekend.
Oxenfree (Xbox One) Review Posted!
As I mentioned early last week, I worked on a couple of reviews for my old writing site, Upcomingdiscs.com. They needed some filler for their “31 Nights of Terror”, so I chipped in. Well I don’t think 1300-1500 word game reviews are exactly filler, but I do what I can do :).
Here is Oxenfree:

Fragments of Him (Xbox One)
Before I got an Xbox One, I probably would have not been even remotely enticed to play a visual novel on any game system. Heck, I can’t even be bothered to read anything online that’s not a news article or review of some sort. I prefer physical books when I actually get a few minutes to myself to read. But with the wealth of titles (and not just ones from Telltale) on the Xbox One, it was only a matter of time before I tried them. So, how would I deal when I found a title that went right for the emotional jugular twenty minutes in? Well we are about to find out with Fragments of Him.
Dangerous Golf (Xbox One)
A little less than a couple of weeks ago, I won a contest from the ole Major Nelson on his Twitter Feed. #FreeCodeFriday. Normally, it’s one or two codes and something that you probably don’t want to play. Well, it was actually six codes for the Xbox One and all games that are perfect for reviews by yours truly and for this site. The first one for the mix is Dangerous Golf, a game made by some of the same group that were behind the popular Burnout games. Like crashing cars? Then you will love crashing balls. *blink*, Bad jokes ahead. Continue reading “Dangerous Golf (Xbox One)”
New reviews coming to Kedrix.net
I am happy to report that I won a #FreeCodeFriday from Major Nelson which means six brand new digital games which I can turn around and produce some quality reviews for this site. Now how long will this take me? Probably about 2 months or one every week and a half. It’s an exciting time and should help out this site a lot :). Here are the six games:
Dangerous Golf
Fragments of Him
Turn On
Among the Sleep
Anima: Gate of Memories
Hard Reset Redux
Have a good weekend!
Never Alone (Xbox One)
A game with heart is a very special thing. A game that can move along an engaging story with the ability to change the player’s feelings from the best of times to something perhaps even worth shedding a tear for. Often times, all of that heart can help to overlook technical issues and things that a game without heart would get scrutinized against. Today’s review is Never Alone, a game with a maximum dose of heart and storytelling. But I would be lying if I didn’t mention the faults of such a heartwarming tale.

Ziggurat (Xbox One)
One of the best things about this generation of Xbox games is that we no longer have to worry about region restrictions with physical discs. It used to be, especially with the 360, if you had a Japanese or European only game, then here in the states you were out of luck to play these games. But with the Xbox One, that changed. As long as you could get your hands on a copy, you could play it (minus any language complications). I imported my first Xbox One game over the last month, Ziggurat. It had been released here in the states but only digitally. So this felt like the right opportunity to get a game with high marks in disc form. I’m so very glad I made that decision.
