I’m not sure if I can really call myself a Nintendo fan at the moment. The me of the past was certainly a Nintendo fan, and I still love all of my Nintendo games. My opinion of the company is a little different though; deteriorating further and further with each passing year until they became a…

Musings on Console Upgrades
With the announcements of the Xbox One S, the PS4 Slim, and the PS4 Pro, gamers should have plenty to be excited about in the coming months. They should, but I don’t think that’s really the case. Instead, I think their existence has just raised questions. Of those questions, the ones that I’ve been asking…
Petitions and Video Games Don’t Mix
Like many series, the Paper Mario games have been caught in a downward spiral from which they don’t yet seem capable of recovering. While Super Paper Mario was certainly not the most popular game in the franchise, it was not until Sticker Star that I believe the series’ decay became clear. Not long ago, I…
Mighty No. 9 Isn’t A Complete Loss
Well, it’s finally happened. The release date for Mighty No.9 finally arrived last week, and the game was, unfortunately, not very good. It’s unfortunate, but Mighty No.9 is definitely not the spiritual successor to Mega Man that we were all hoping for. However, be it a truly bad game or just an average one, Mighty…
Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst – Beta Impressions
Mirror’s Edge is back! See, last weekend I had the opportunity to play around in the Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst closed beta. Now I’ll say right off the bat that the game is looking promising. I enjoyed my time with the beta and am looking forward to when Catalyst launches in early June. That said, there…
The Physical Disc or a Digital Copy.
Recently–as in last year, I conducted a poll on my twitter account about which people prefer; the physical disc or a digital copy of a game. While this is by no means, a professional statistic, I did find it interesting that the poll tied. There are many pros and cons to both choices and I…
What Are They Afraid Of?
“Do video game publishers know something that we don’t?” This question has been buzzing around my head ever since I learned about Square-Enix’s plan to retroactively make the upcoming Hitman game into an episodic “experience.” At first I thought it was just another money-grubbing move by a major publisher, but then I watched January 28th’s…
Stay Tuned for the Next Exciting Episode!
It may be a new year, but it seems that AAA publishers are just as determined as ever to show the depth of their contempt for their paying customers. Okay, maybe that’s a bit harsh but after everything we’ve seen from the likes of Konami, Activision, and Square Enix last year, one might have cause…
The New Ratchet and Clank Movie Trailer: Thoughts From a Duck
Dear Ratchet and Clank fans, you may or may not have heard that a new trailer has recently come out for the Ratchet and Clank movie, scheduled for release April 29, 2016. While I would have very much liked to be the first to post about this, it looks like Derek beat me to it…
Hands On with INFRA!
Image provided by Loiste Interactive As Halloween draws near, the urge to talk about horror games just grows and grows doesn’t it? Even now I find myself tempted to start talking about just how wonderfully spooky the cramped corridors of Dead Space are! However, today we’ve got something much better to talk about! As promised,…
