Last week, I talked a bit about having mostly missed out on the Soulsborne games and how I was thinking about rectifying that with Elden Ring. Well, I decided to go forward with it and picked up Elden Ring over the weekend. So far, it’s been an interesting experience, much more so than I was…

New Scans Out for Triangle Strategy and More
With the quarter’s biggest games like Elden Ring and Horizon: Forbidden West now out in the wild, there’s a bit of a lull in gaming news at the moment. It hasn’t stopped of course, but I’m thinking that there just isn’t all that much to see right now. That said, the folks over at NintendoEverything…
Being a ‘Souls-borne’ Bystander
Each year, countless games are released to the gaming masses. Most go unnoticed; some sell well. A handful even manage to achieve widespread popularity and near universal acclaim. Then there are the legends, the games that get so big that they leave a permanent mark on the industry. Super Mario Bros. made platformers a thing;…

Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel and the Limitations of Free-to-Play
A couple weeks ago, I went-off on free-to-play games, saying that I think that the model is irredeemable at this point. I even went so far as to say that there are no good free to play games. While I do stand by the first statement, I feel as though I need to take back…

Nintendo showed-off quite a few interesting things during last week’s Nintendo Direct. There was video for Splatoon 3, revivals of old cult classics like Klonoa and Front Mission, and even new footage for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. This game in particular was already interesting, and it only got moreso with the new video and…
Getting into Trading Card Games as a Video Gamer
For the longest time, I’ve mostly written off trading card games as something not worth engaging in. I mean, I collected Pokemon cards as a kid, but I think that was only because it was the “it” thing to do at the time. All the guys at my elementary school spent their recess and lunch…
New Gameplay Shown for Ghostwire Tokyo
For those fortunate enough to have procured a PS5, there’s a really interesting new game coming out really soon called Ghostwire: Tokyo. It’s actually from the same studio that brought us the Evil Within series, and it even started development as The Evil Within 3, but it apparently took on a life of its own…
I’m Now Absolutely Convinced That ‘Free To Play’ Will Always Be Awful!
There was a time when I thought that free to play could be okay. I mean, I thought that it would exist mostly as another option alongside traditional paid games. I also thought that free to play games would also still be designed to be games first. Well, we’ve been dealing with this model in…
Big Team Battle May Finally Be Playable in Halo Infinite
For the past month, connectivity issues have plagued Halo Infinite’s Big Team Battle Mode, making it difficult to play at best and utterly impossible to enter at worst. 343i issued a fix on January 19th, but it seemed to do little if anything to solve the problem. The company will be putting out another hot…
