[REVISITED] Top 5: Metroidvania Games that I’ve Not Played but Should
At the start of each year, I have a tradition of going through my backlog and picking one or two games from it that I’d like to knock out before that particular year is over. In doing so this year and stumbling across Axiom Verge and Hollow Knight, both of which have been patiently waiting…

[REVISITED] 77 Hours Later, and Mass Effect: Andromeda is in the Bag
One of my gaming goals for 2021 is to replay Mass Effect: Andromeda. Can’t say it’s a lofty goal, but with the Mass Effect Legendary Edition due out later this year, rather than tread through the original trilogy for the umpteenth time, I figured I’d cast fresh eyes over Andromeda‘s post-Commander Shepard universe instead. It’s…

Listmas 2020: Cary’s Most Anticipated Games of 2021
Know that we’ve kicked 2020 out the door for good (though, that’s still questionable, I guess), it’s time for me to take a look into that which may pepper my gaming landscape in 2021. Frankly, my biggest hope for this year is actually obtaining an XBX or a PS5, but neither my Xbox One nor…
Listmas 2020: Cary’s Favorite Games Played in 2020
So, this week’s Listmas list is actually called “favorite games of 2020,” but I had to alter it slightly because, well…I’ve not played a single game released this year. (Cyberpunk 2077 is in the wings as of writing, but I doubt I’ll get to it before the clock strikes 2021.) As it turned out for…
Listmas 2020: All I want for Christmas (events) in games is…
This week’s Listmas question is a simple one: what makes a great holiday event? Or, maybe it’s not so simple, since we all enjoy the holidays, and holidays with gaming in our own way. My experience with holiday gaming events is quite limited, unfortunately. Outside of some holiday-themed DLC, the only one I’ve actively participated…

Listmas 2020: Cary’s Favorite Bonus Content
Downloadable content. Expansion packs. Season passes. Extended rigmarole. However you phrase it (maybe not that last way), bonus content for games has long been a part of the industry, and it’s not going away any time soon. I must admit that I wasn’t always a fan of such. For the bulk of my gaming history,…
