December 15, 2009, is the worst yet most important day of my life. I lost my Grandma that day. She was everything to me. The person who I felt...

I love the Roguelike genre. It’s the perfect mix of challenge and intelligence. So, when I had the chance to play [REDACTED], I was anticipating a...
I’ve been an Indiana Jones fan my whole life. My Dad introduced me to the movies when I was a kid, and it was on from there. Gaming-wise, there were...
The best thing about Game of the Year contender and platforming king, Astro Bot, is that it’s a reminder of an era of gaming that straight-up...
A weird thing happened on the way to this era of gaming. Sony magically found its footing as the AAA-narrative focused company. For me, the beginning...

Early video games are interesting because there’s no explicit story. At least, not in the way we consider a narrative in gaming now. A lot of what...
In some ways, I take great pride in aging myself as a gamer. This is one of those times. A true “you had to be there” moment but if you were...

Well, it seems to be almost that time. Xbox has recently started their “This is an Xbox” marketing in which they list anything with a screen as an...
I do love racing games. But as I’ve said before, it’s a very specific style that catches my eye. I’m more into arcade racers than anything else....
There’s an iconic scene in “Game of Thrones” during the Battle of the Bastards where Jon Snow unsheathes his sword in the face of an oncoming...
When It Takes Two won Game of the Year at the 2021 Game Awards, I wasn’t someone who questioned it. I love indie games, so I was glad to see one...
Up top: I am not a FromSoftware guy. That’s not to say I think the games are bad. I value myself as a gamer too much to say something asinine like...

Racing games are one of my favorite genres in gaming. But I’m very specific about which games resonate with me. Need For Speed: Underground 2,...
