I feel a golden age of gaming coincided with Rareware’s golden age during the 90’s. For me, the really good span of years for video games was between 1994-2000. Odds are, you know what I’m talking about, as I know we have a good number of readers here who love the Donkey Kong Country and…

Gamevice is Suing Nintendo
In recent gaming news, it has come to my attention that a company called Gamevice is suing Nintendo. Gamevice has created detachable controllers that attach to smartphones and tablets in much the same way as the Joy-Con controllers attach to the Switch. If you’re interested in reading more, the web site I visited was CNBC….
Euclidian Lands: Chess Meets Rubik’s Cube
As I continue my ever-vigilant quest to research new and unique indie games, my attention fell upon a particularly interesting game for Apple iOS. Being an avid Windows-user, this is not something I’d be able to play myself, but for anyone who does own an Apple device and enjoys puzzle games, then you might want…
Paradise Lost: A Game Where You Play as…an Alien Plant?
In recent weeks, I have been looking up lists of the most anticipated, and most unique, recent or upcoming indie games. One game that was mentioned on several different occasions was Paradise Lost: First Contact (though on one web site, it was listed under the name Paradise Never). In this game, you play as an…
A KH3 Release Date, Toy Story, and More
I’ve long since lost track of the number of years we’ve been waiting to hear this news. But it’s finally confirmed…Kingdom Hearts 3 is indeed something that’s going to happen in our lifetimes! It was announced at Disney’s D23 convention that this greatly anticipated game is scheduled for release in 2018. When in 2018, I…
Age Doesn’t Make a Game Dated
It was thanks to Cary’s recent post, Playing Games Past Their Prime, that I had a revelation concerning a few questions I had been asking as of late. It largely boils down to: why do some old games feel dated, while others from the same era do not? Furthermore, how is it that even new…
A Cry for Help from a Weary Kingdom Hearts Fan
Now that I’ve gotten through Breath of the Wild and Yooka-Laylee, my top two games of the year, I’ve been working my way through Kingdom Hearts 2.8. The bulk of this game’s time has, and will continue to be, spent on the remake of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. The most exciting game in this…
Nintendo’s Coming to Universal Studios
There are a lot of franchises out there that have gotten the theme-park treatment, though rarely, if ever, are those franchises of the video game variety. Even so, I would often think of how well-suited Nintendo would be for its very own land in a theme park. And what do you know, it’s actually happening! …
Unforgettable: The Ending of Halo: Reach
Most stories follow a similar pattern. Certain rules are rarely broken. One such rule is that the good guys don’t usually die. It happens, but most of the time when our heroes are in danger, there is no real need for concern because we know the main characters typically have a way of surviving their…
Resonance: Hivory Towers
While Yooka-Laylee was not quite what we had all hoped it would be, there is one area where it absolutely delivered, and that was nostalgia. After having completed the game only about a month ago, and despite having a rather rocky time with it, I already kind of miss it. I think some of the…
