You know, as much as I’d like to just hate on something that I personally consider a scam, I’d rather just say that I really hope that everyone invested in the project is happy with what they’re getting out of it. Really, I do. There was a time when it looked like Star Citizen was…

I Want to See More Games Like Tormented Souls II!
A couple of years ago, I had the chance to play an indie horror game called Tormented Souls. I’d never heard of it before, and only picked it up on a friend’s recommendation, but I’m so glad I did because it turned out to be one of the best games I’d play that year. Last…
The GabeCube is is Real!
This isn’t exactly news anymore, but I wanted to talk about Valve’s surprise announcement last week. I mean it probably shouldn’t have been a surprise since Valve already has the Steam Deck and its VR device, and it already tried the Steam Machine thing once before. Yet, this time it feels different. This time Valve…
We Need Real Gaming Spaces to Come Back
Something that sometimes comes up in the discussion surrounding game prices is how preferable things are now compared to the age of arcades. Certainly, you’re probably getting more hours of entertainment per dollar than you would have playing quarter-guzzling arcade machines, and games have advanced massively since those days by just about every metric. Even…
Night Machine Steam Demo is Live
It’s an unusually slow news week this week, so instead of discussing whatever shenanigans are going on in the AAA sector of gaming, I instead come to you with a bit of indie news. I just learned of a new roguelike deckbuilder, one that’s got a pretty intriguing hook. The game is Night Machine and…
Hollow Knight: Silksong Was Great, But I Prefer the Original After All
Like many fans of Hollow Knight, I spent the last several years eagerly awaiting the day that Team Cherry would finally release its sequel. I think I even reached a point where I told myself that I didn’t care anymore, after waiting 2-3 years without a single update from Team Cherry regarding Silksong’s progress. Yet,…
Tim Cain Remarks on How Digital-Only Hasn’t Saved Gamers Any Money
Gaming has been around a long time, as have many of us who enjoy games as a proper hobby. We’ve a great many changes and shifts in the gaming market over our many years, but one of the most significant is one that has been nearly all-encompassing yet hasn’t delivered on the industry’s most important…
Learning How to Play
I’ve been watching a channel on YouTube recently called SuperJoeBros. He focuses primarily on Donkey Kong games and has been doing a series where he plays through the SNES trilogy for the first time. It’s been fun to watch, but it was also a little frustrating at first. He’d make silly mistakes or have difficulty…
Halo: Campaign Evolved Won’t Have Online PvP
A lot of info about Halo: Campaign Evolved over the past few days, Proper gameplay was shown, comparison videos have been made, and it’s coming to PlayStation (how crazy is that?)! But, there will apparently be one big negative: no online competitive multiplayer.
Spooktober 2025: SOMA’s Chilling Questions
As I considered what to talk about in this final post of Spooktober 2025, I found myself thinking about whey games had left a lasting impact. Some were nostalgic, others left certain moments behind, but only one (I think) has really chilled me on an intellectual level. That is, the ideas it made me consider…
