As I mentioned last week, I’ve recently picked up Baldur’s Gate 3, and it’s sort of been my obsession ever since. A big part of it is the tactical gameplay and how you can stumble across interesting quests in the weirdest places, but it’s also due to the writing.

Gaming News Needs to Calm Down
Normally on Wednesday I like to bring you some sort of gaming news. It’s usually not breaking anymore by the time I get to it, but I like to hope that a lot of it is interesting enough to comment on. This week is kind of slow news-wise, so instead I wanted to take second…
Venturing Out in Baldur’s Gate 3
So, Baldur’s Gate 3 finally released for PS5 this weekend, and so I finally had the chance to see for myself whether or not this game I’ve spent the last few weeks salivating over was actually worthy of it. Well, in the interest of remaining as objective as possible, the jury is still out on…
DLC Officially Announced for Final Fantasy XVI
Those hoping for more to do in the world of Final Fantasy XVI are in luck! Recently, producer Naoki Yoshida announced that Final Fantasy XVI is indeed getting some DLC in the future.

Surprise Sequels: Tormented Souls II
Whenever one of the major gaming events rolls around (E3, Gamescom, TGS, etc.) I’m always expecting to see sequels and spin-offs to major series like Fallout, Assassin’s Creed, or something like Halo.

Playing the Waiting Game
As I’ve gotten older, I like to think that I’ve grown more patient. I remember counting the days up until one exciting thing or another as a kid, and with video games I couldn’t help but greedily gobble-up every morsel of news or rumors I could find ahead of release. The waiting was awful though,…
Embracer Group is Going to be Shrinking Soon
A few years ago, Embracer Group emerged as a new, major gaming publisher and immediately set to work acquiring as many up-and-coming studios as it possibly could. Many were concerned that the organization would outstrip the likes of EA and Activision-Blizzard and become an even worse force within the industry. Well, Embracer Group has indeed…
Baldur’s Gate Gate 3 Gives Me Hope For the Future of AAA Games
It’s kind of an odd feeling to be having concerning one singular game, yet here it is all the same. Baldur’s Gate 3 has me feeling that perhaps AAA gaming isn’t completely doomed after all. It’s not so much that I expect the game to somehow single-handedly lead the industry out of the darkness or…
