When I last wrote about Fallout 76 in November, I had given an “eh, so what?” to its newest mode, Fallout Worlds. Since then, I’ve only been back to Worlds (Private Worlds) once, cajoling my husband to formulate our own world and give it a go. That go lasted a single session, and we’ve not…

Yep, God of War: Ragnarok is Now on My “Most Anticipated” Games List
When I presented my most anticipated games of 2022 last month, the sequel to 2018’s God of War wasn’t even a twinkle in my eye. Sure, it had been making headlines, and I knew God of War was good even without having played it, but I didn’t consider it anywhere near my top games. That’s…
God of War is Good Enough to Make Me Forget About Dragon Age
Believe me when I say that I take my playthroughs of BioWare game very seriously. This means that once I get it in my head to replay any of either the Mass Effect or Dragon Age games in succession, nothing – and I mean nothing – gets in my way. Once I start a replay,…
Cary’s Most Anticipated Games of 2022
Bidding a final farewell to the year that was, it’s that time of the new year to look forward and consider the game we look forward to playing, or simply materializing, in 2022. This year claims the release of many significant titles, from new IPs to sequels to the new class of remakes and reboots;…
The Duck’s 2021 Game of the Year
It’s now the Duck’s turn to cover my game of the year! While I didn’t exactly play a lot of games released in 2021, the few that I did were quite memorable indeed. After perusing my choices, however, the most logical pick would have to be Psychonauts 2 thanks to its creativity and unique premise.
First Impressions of Grand Theft Auto III: The Definitive Edition
As of writing, I’m about 15 missions into Grand Theft Auto III from the Xbox version of *inhales* Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. *exhales.* Yes, it’s a mouthful of a title for this compilation, but it fits. Within this title are three remasters of Rockstar’s classic open-world adventures: GTA III, GTA:…
Fallout Worlds is Fallout 76’s Rose-Tinted Glasses Mode
A couple months ago, when I opted into Fallout 1st, Fallout 76’s subscription service, its custom world-building mode call Fallout Worlds was on the verge of release. It was not why I subbed; I only wanted to try out the game privately with an actual “lone wanderer.” In this regard, my current replay is moving…
With Metroid Dread, I Need to Get Out of My Own Way
According to my save file, I’ve put almost six hours into Metroid Dread. In my head, that time makes me think that I should be close to wrapping up the game; like the final boss should be on the horizon. In reality…well, I’m pretty sure that about a third of those six hours have been…
Monsters and Mayhem in Dragon’s Dogma
As I suspect my time with Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen will slow down over the coming months, I spent a good chunk of the last month chipping away at my ranger Corinne’s adventures in the game. Upon reading a bit more about the game and learning that its “new game plus” feature is where this…
Fallout 76: Year Two in Review
When this past August rolled around, I considered writing and update to my ESO/Fallout 76 from the same time last year. Only then, I remembered that I barely touched ESO over the past twelve months. I found far more comfort in Fallout 76, which sounds strange, because the game is far from comfortable. Looking back,…
