Once again, I am slowly working my way through 30 days’ worth of video game topics. And once again, I am taking the task far too seriously. The next topic on the list is the game with the best story, which is an exceedingly difficult question, if you ask me. I mean, there are so…

Independent Developers Are Amazing
As a gamer, I’ve spent the lions share of my game time over the years with the big-budget “AAA” games that both dominate the market and the conversations surrounding it. I enjoy these games (mostly), but have found myself finding fewer and fewer titles that actually get me excited. They’re still there, but are growing…
Hollow Knight is the Metroid Sequel I Never Knew I wanted
I know I’m a little late to the party here. I mean, Hollow Knight spent almost the last two years getting all manner of praise heaped upon it. If you’re interested in platformers at all, you’ve probably already heard how good the game is, and you don’t need me to convince you. All that said…
Unforgettable: Dating Papyrus in Undertale
April is a great month for discussing silly gaming moments, and the best game I can think of in terms of sheer humor is Undertale. Few games have made me laugh quite like this one, and one major reason for this hilarity is thanks to my favorite character, Papyrus. (If you haven’t already played Undertale,…
Goodbye Neighbor: Thoughts on the Full Version of Hello Neighbor
Over the past several months, I have been following an intriguing indie game called Hello Neighbor. The premise is simple enough. Sneak into your neighbor’s house with the goal of finding out what he’s hiding in his basement. Of course, it’s hardly the player’s business what our mustachioed-neighbor does in the privacy of his own…
A Game About Mercy: Undertale
You may have heard of an indie PC game inspired by EarthBound called Undertale. The game’s praise, along with its relation to a SNES game I absolutely love, made it a must-play. Though, I must admit that I am typically quite reluctant to download PC games because, well, my computer is weird sometimes. When I…
Nintendo’s “Nindies” Sure Look Promising (or, If I Only Had a Switch)
PAX West wrapped up earlier this week, and from it came a slew of game announcements. High among the highlights that caught my attention was Nintendo’s Summer Nindies Showcase, which featured several independent game titles that will be coming to the Nintendo Switch. In a mere twenty minutes, Nintendo packed in a dazzling array of…
Indie Games On-Demand?
There is a new subscription-based video game service launching soon. The service is called “Jump“, and will be offering an initial library of 60-100 for a flat fee of $9.99 per month. The service is currently in closed beta until July 24th, but once it launches it will offer users unlimited ad-free access to a…
Hello Neighbor: Another Compelling Indie Game
Over the past few years, I have become increasingly fascinated with PC games. I downloaded Slender: The 9 Pages the day I learned about it, after which I could barely even play the game out of sheer terror. I got sucked into the craze of Five Nights at Freddy’s and have spent no shortage of…
Announcing UWG Halloween 2015: FNAF Live Stream
Lock your windows and bolt your doors, for Halloween is just around the corner (to keep the trick-or-treaters from pilfering your candy, of course)! With UWG’s recent venture into Youtube, what better way to celebrate the spookiest holiday of the year than…wait for it…a live Youtube event! Live, now that’s spooky. (If you had seen…
