I don’t know about you, but I’ve been finding it very easy to forget that Take Two Interactive exists. Surely they had many great hits in the 00’s and 2010’s, but it feels like they’ve been mostly absent since 2019 or so when it comes to exciting or even very successful releases. Next year seems…

It Seems More than Half of PS’s Live Service Games Failed
A little while ago, we learned that PlayStation (Sony) wanted to make a major push towards live service model games. While perhaps not the whole future for PlayStation, it was very clear that the platfom-holder wants a piece of the Fortnite, Overwatch, PUBG pie. Well, we’re now at least a year into the execution and…
Hard Bosses vs Bad Bosses
With notoriously hard games such as Elden Ring or other soulsbornes, there are plenty of bosses that are infamous for being unfair or just straight-up bad. Defenders like to say that it’s just a matter of skill, and that those who are complaining just need to “git gud,” but I do think there’s actually a…
Baldur’s Gate 3 Development Winding Down; Larian Focusing on New Project
There was a time where it’d be weird to talk about a game’s development coming to an end almost a year after release. I mean, once a game launches, you’d think that it’d then be fully developed, right? Of course, with DLC and the now modern practice of regular updates, development isn’t over ‘till it’s…
Black Myth: Wukong Has Been a Real Surprise
While I wasn’t exactly doubting that Black Myth: Wukong would be a decent game, I was unprepared for how much fun the game has turned out to be. Seriously, with so many games failing to live up to what’s shown in the trailers, it’s genuinely shocking to come across one that surpasses them. This is…
Tormented Souls II Got a New Gameplay Trailer!
Okay, so this one isn’t quite breaking news since this trailer came out last week during Gamescom 2024, but I’m absolutely not going to pass up a chance to talk about it! Tormented Souls II is the surprise sequel to Tormented Souls, a throwback horror game that more or less came out of nowhere to…
Playing All the Fake Phone Games
At long last I’m back! It’s been a hectic couple of weeks with my family visiting, but I did find moments here and there to game. There weren’t many, which is why I’ve been trying something a little different lately: namely all of those fake phone games we all have to constantly sit through. And…
Final Fantasy Remake Director Very Confident in Part 3
The remake series for Final Fantasy VII has, by most accounts, been progressing quite smoothly. It’s been a many, many years long endeavor at this point, but the results have in fact been quite good up until now. It’s even more encouraging to see each entry get better, with Rebirth being quite superior to Remake….
Revisited: I Think I’m Done With New Paper Mario Games
As the summer heat carries on, so to does this extended family trip/visit. As I write this, I assume it’s been a good time so far, so I can only hope that your August is going well too. I wasn’t sure what I was gooing to look back at today, but then I happened to…
Revisited: Nostalgia or Not?
Hey all! I hope you’re enjoying the summer and not cooking too much in the heat! I’ve been staying in and gaming as much as I can, but with family visiting I’ve got not choice but to go cook in the sun while we all have fun taking in the sights together here in Japan….
