Excepting a few key players (lookin’ at you, Devolver Digital), the week/weekend of Summer Game Fest has come and gone, and now we wait for the waves to settle. While I wouldn’t say I’ve been reeling over any particular announcement, several moments have embedded themselves in the back of my head, not the least of…

That’s It! I Don’t Care Anymore! I’m Done!
Even great games can overstay their welcome sometimes. All it takes is a pinch of frustration.
MIO: Memories in Orbit First Impressions
Back in January, I listed MIO: Memories in Orbit as one of my most anticipated games of the year, and it one that I thought I’d have to buy. Color me surprised when it popped up on Game Pass upon release! With a winter plate too full of games, spring has arrived, and MIO’s time…
Yep, I’m Fired Up for Fable
Being late to the party, as usual, I just recently got around to checking out the preview of Playground Games’ Fable, which was featured during last month’s Xbox Developer Direct. As a fan of the original series, I’ve had my eye on this new entry since it was first announced way back in the summer…
Cary’s Most Anticipated Games of 2026
Much like last year, here at the start of another new year, my gaming plate is rather full. Most notably, I recently started up Elden Ring for the first time, and with it, I still have a very long way to go. Elden Ring was a holiday gift, as were copies of Super Mario Odyssey…
The Outer Worlds 2 First Impressions
The Outer Worlds 2 opens with a beautiful scene from one of the in-game serials (think: movie shorts), and the visuals don’t ever let up. After making a character of one’s choosing, players are let loose in a stunning world that’s as bright and ever bigger than what was presented in the first game. Everything…
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…
Favorite Reveals from Summer Game Fest and More, 2025
It’s not lost on me that, with the Internet being the permanent home of game leaks and rumors, shows like Summer Games Fest, the State of Play, and the Xbox Showcase, don’t pack as much punch as they used too (if they ever really did). Still, even if nothing under the sun is exactly new…
Fallout 76’s Ghoulish Prospects
The Appalachia of Fallout 76 today is quite different from the one players saw back in 2018. While things were very rocky, literally and figuratively, at the start, the game is now teeming with life in all sorts of forms, and Bethesda recently added a new but familiar face to the roster – that of…
What is the Lesson of the Oblivion Remaster?
Despite being shadow-dropped, the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remaster is enjoying tremendous success, supposedly selling over 2 million copies and topping 4 million players in its first week. Naturally, many are seeking to hold it up as some sort of lesson for the AAA gaming business, but what exactly that lesson is seems to depend…
