Image captured by Flickr user: Sir Mildred Pierce (cc) Before I knew it, it was over. I was almost to my destination and had just crested the summit of the final hill when it happened. Instantly, I was in the midst of a large mass of blazing wings and angry eyes, and found myself back…

Getting Back To It- Zack and Wiki: The Quest for Babaros’ Treasure
Image captured by Hatm0nstar Another month gone by, another game crossed off the list…almost. It’s kind of funny how even when you make it your mission to play through a game, life and circumstance is still able to draw you away from it, and it can do so quite easily at that. My mission this…
Outrage Isn’t Working
Image Captured by Hatm0nster There’s been quite a bit for us gamers to get angry about over the last couple of years hasn’t there? Poor PC ports, stupid comments from developers, poor digital store curation, nickel-and-dime pricing structures, manipulative marketing, preorder culture… the list of things for us to be angry about goes on and…
Not Dead Yet! #gamersonwatch
Image by Flickr user: adurdin (cc) This year’s E3 will likely go down as one of the most successful of the last few years. Not only did we get a boatload of announcements and trailers that we were already expecting, but we also got some of the biggest out-of-left-field reveals to ever come out of…
Dread and Gaming Emotions
Most games are experiences that are easy to jump into, they are easy to play and easy to enjoy. There is another other kind of game though. The sort that is most definitely fun, but demands consideration; taking it in as you go along. Fans of horror games, RPGs and perhaps even adventure games probably know the feeling. It’s an odd sense, one…
Getting Back To It: Super Mario Galaxy
Image by Flickr user: Bludgeoner86 (cc) Since I started following Simpleek’s example and started doing this challenge back in January, I’ve discovered a few things. First, the list of games I want to return to is much larger than I thought it was. Second, Fable II was never actually very good. I was more of…
To the Lighthouse!
Image by Flickr User: Ferino Design (cc) I once wrote a post lamenting how unlockable content has largely become a thing of the past. Rewards that were once challenges to find and fun to show off to your friends are now just extras to buy. Where once we might have had to do something special to unlock Jason Voorhees in…
A Major Improvement
Image Captured by Hatm0nster I thought I was more or less done with Destiny at this point. I’d long ago maxed out my favorite class, acquired all the weapons and armor I’d wanted, grown tired of the bounties, detested the story missions, and had had my fill of the Raids (even though they were quite…
Hunting The Truth
Image by Flickr user: Corrinne Yu (cc) The Halo series is going to be 14 years old come this November. It’s hard to believe, but we are now 14 years out from the launch of Halo: Combat Evolved back in 2001. That’s 14 years of games, comics, and books to fill in the lore, and 14…
A Platformer Rare-vival!
(Image and title pun from Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter page) It’s actually happening! I can hardly believe it, but Yooka-Laylee (formerly ‘Mingy-Jongo’) is actually alive and very, very well! I found out about this on May 1st and I’m still somewhat stunned, we may yet get the chance to enjoy a spiritual successor to the brilliant game that…
