Isn’t the holiday season just the worst? All smiles and cheer. People ask if you will put this obscure indie game on your Game of the Year list. LISTEN BILLY, I am trying to pour through my back catalog. Please don’t add another game to my pile of shame. You know, this year overall was… Continue reading The Quarry – Bad Dog, No Holiday Cheer for You

The Callisto Protocol – Rotten to the Core
I feel like every critic at one point or another has made this analogy. It feels a bit cliche to reference Revenge of the Sith, but as I stare into my collector’s edition Callisto Protocol statue, the same rage and sadness that overtook Obi-wan washes over me. You were the chosen one, I yell at… Continue reading The Callisto Protocol – Rotten to the Core
Sony Keeps the Long Tradition of Using Celebrities to Sell Video Games Alive
HEAR YE!!! HEAR YE!!! I stand before all of you, eager to discuss something near and dear to my heart: celebrities advertising video games. The video game industry has had a long and proud history of having big names endorse their shiny new products. Many believe, including myself, that making video games is just an… Continue reading Sony Keeps the Long Tradition of Using Celebrities to Sell Video Games Alive
God of War (2018) Review – A Wishlist for Ragnarök
I nearly quit God of War within a few hours of starting the game. I don’t subscribe to the old notion that games get better after a certain amount of hours played. A turn-based JRPG doesn’t magically get better a hundred hours in if the first battle feels sluggish. I have squandered many hours trying… Continue reading God of War (2018) Review – A Wishlist for Ragnarök
Martha is Dead Review – Autopsy Report

Inscryption Review – Blood, Bones, and Cards
An eerie creek echoes as a pair of eyes slowly open piercing through the dark. The whites of the eyes slowly move towards you sitting motionlessly. Shrouded in darkness, the owner of the eyes exclaims excitedly he hasn’t had a new challenger in ages. The menacing eyes explain a card game that requires you to… Continue reading Inscryption Review – Blood, Bones, and Cards
Horizon Zero Dawn – The Weight of the Open World
New year, new me for not only us individuals but for the games industry as well. By that, I mean the games industry will continue with the same bad habits it developed in past years. In this case, it will continue to vomit up open-world games at an alarming rate. As my eyes gaze at… Continue reading Horizon Zero Dawn – The Weight of the Open World
My Top Five Games of 2021
As the cold month of January continues to linger onward, what more fitting way to celebrate the mundane than recall the games I enjoyed throughout the previous year. As always this is my list and my list alone. Also, I personally find it a bit crude to compare a shooter to an RPG, so I… Continue reading My Top Five Games of 2021
Little Nightmares – Teetering on the Knife’s Edge
Disappointment. Regret. Anger. We have all experienced these feelings at one moment or another. A flashy trailer or the promise of something new captures our imagination and blinds our senses. We spend countless nights in anticipation of this new exciting experience. We all think our lives will be so much better once we get our… Continue reading Little Nightmares – Teetering on the Knife’s Edge
The Medium Review: New Perspectives
My followers, lend me your ears like the days of old. I come to you after a long and arduous hiatus. An interlude where I began to wonder if there was truly a place in the world for an old doomsayer, such as myself. In a world filled with such darkness and hatred. In a… Continue reading The Medium Review: New Perspectives
