Knights, Bikes, Geese, and Childhood Imagination
A semi-recent trend I have been noticing is a great number of new games being made to emulate the look and feel of the SNES era. Probably because the SNES rocked.

Ghost of a Tale: A Redwall-Inspired RPG Adventure

Yooka-Laylee: A Game with Good Intentions
Fans of the Banjo-Kazooie series have long-awaited a true sequel since Banjo-Tooie’s release on the Nintendo 64 in 2000.

Breath of the Wild: A Review
It is probably safe to say that The Legend of Zelda series is one of the most beloved in video game history. With a history of 30 years and counting, it is only natural, then, that such a series would need to change, either to keep up with improving technology or to prevent itself from…
Breath of the Wild Finally Comes to a Close
It’s been a, ahem, rather wild month, but I’ve finally completed Breath of the Wild. I feel like a strange emptiness has suddenly opened up in my life after all the many hours I have devoted to this game, but at the same time, I’m also relieved because, honestly, I’m a bit burned out at…
