We’re a week away from E3 2017, and less than a week away from the incoming tsunami of game news and announcements (holy shit). So while I still have to remind myself that I’m actually going to gaming’s biggest convention this year, I haven’t given much thought as to what I’m hoping to get out … More Top 5 Things I Would Like to See From E3 2017
I’ve been playing video games for ages. Over 20 years to be exact. And while I’ve played plenty of excellent titles over the years, only a handful keep me playing long after I finish them. These are the games that I will treasure forever, the games that make me proud of this odd little thing that … More Overwatch: A Year Later (And I’m Still Mediocre)
So 2016 is now over, and all I can say is “I guess that was a thing.” All jokes aside, every time I look at someone else’s “Best of 2016” list, I’m struck by how many things have been released this year. Most of it boils down to me either going “ah yes, I remember … More So That Was a Thing: Best Bits of 2016
While 2016 has certainly been a year for the history books, it was a fantastic year to be a gamer.

And though … More Top 5 Video Games of 2016

In case you don’t play Overwatch (shame on you) or you missed the summer event (again … More Let’s Talk About Overwatch Halloween Terror (and Why It’s Awesome)
“I find myself wondering what life was like before the Bear crashed into our frail planet…” From this opening line of dialogue and the accompanying cinematic, it becomes immediately apparent that the world of Pit People is nothing like anything we’ve quite seen before. While you can see inspiration is taken from all kinds of … More The Perils of Pit People: First Impressions
I’ll admit that I was never super excited for No Man’s Sky based on the first footage years ago. But, with every announcement made during the game’s development and the ambitious goals Hello Games was trying to meet, my curiosity in the title certainly increased. Promises of a truly astronomical universe so big that you might never … More What No Man’s Sky Did Wrong
While The Mario Brothers might have dominance when it comes to Nintendo’s platforms, back in the days of the N64 there was another platforming duo that was giving them a run for their money in the late 90s. I’m of course talking about bear and bird duo, Banjo & Kazooie. While they only released Banjo-Kazooie two … More Yooka-Laylee is Banjo-Kazooie (For Better or Worse)
I’m beginning to wonder if We Happy Few isn’t a giant metaphor for recreational drug use to get through life. Because much to my disappointment, after I played a couple of hours of We Happy Few, I wondered if the whole experience would have been more enjoyable if I had some “Joy” of my own … More We Happy Few Isn’t a Joy to Play… Yet
One of the games I purchased during the last Steam summer sale was Age of Mythology: Extended Edition, essentially an “HD remaster” of the original game. It’s been 14 years since the release of the original Age of Mythology, and I have fond memories of playing it when I was a kid. So it should be … More To Remaster or Not Remaster?
