With games getting ever more expensive and often in new and “exciting” ways, having the chance to try before you buy is extremely valuable. I needn’t list off the merits to you, as there’s really only one that matters: getting to see if the game is actually for you or not. Some games sound great…

Helldivers 2 Delisted in a Bunch of Countries
If you’ve been following Helldivers 2 at all, then you’re probably already aware of the ongoing controversy surrounding the PSN linking requirement. I’m mostly tired of it myself, so I’m not really here to recap all of it. Rather, I just want to comment on this latest story and see what your thoughts on all…
Dropping the ‘To-Do’ List
Last week, I talked about Helldivers 2 and how much of a blast it’s been. Well, here we are another week later and it’s still all I wanna play. It’s sort of a problem in that there are other games I’m “supposed” to be playing and making progress on; games like Alone in the Dark…
Helldivers 2 to See Several Weapon Tweaks Soon
As fun as it is, Helldivers 2 isn’t without its flaws. What the team over at Arrowhead has accomplished with the game so far is absolutely commendable, but I’d be lying if I said that the bug list wasn’t becoming distracting, especially the ones affecting some of the weapons. Fortunately though, it seems some of…
Helldivers 2 is the Best Kind of Co-op Game
When I first got into Helldivers 2, I did so more or less on impulse after my friendshyped it up for a bit. I didn’t think it would be as good as they were saying, and, intruth, it’s not. It’s not a perfect experience and has a lot of issues to iron out yet. However,…
Team Fortress 2 Gets a Surprise Update
Sometimes you gotta hand it to Valve. While they hardly make games anymore, they have been steadfast in keeping their existing titles in good working order. Case in point: Team Fortress 2. The game released all the way back in 2007, but Valve is still dutifully maintaining it.
A Look Back at Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Recently, I had the misfortune of being without internet for a couple of weeks. To put it simply it was rather inconvenient. I couldn’t play most of the games I’d been working on, couldn’t watch a lot of TV and couldn’t really do any writing. Even so, it was kind of nice in a way….
Dredge Might Be Getting a Movie
When it comes to movies based on video games, typically it’s only the biggest and most famous series that get considered. Yet, it looks like that might be changing. See, Dredge is now apparently in consideration for a full film adaptation. Setting the average (low) quality of video game-based movies, that’s kinda big.
How I’ve Changed as a Gamer Since 2013
For this last week of personal posts for Virtual Bastion’s tenth (ish) anniversary, we decided it’d be a good opportunity to take a look back at our gaming lives and see how we’ve changed as gamers. We already discussed views and such last week, so this time I think the focus will be on taste…

Specifically, they are urging gamers around the world to sign petitions and send them to their respective governments, urging them to look into rendering games inoperable.
