Of all the recent game announcements via the weekend that was not E3, the one I’m most excited about is Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I had thought we wouldn’t see it until next year, but no…it’s promised to be out this fall, and I cannot wait! The prospect of seeing this new entry in the…

Summer Game Fest – Focusing on the Positive
The first time I attempted to write this piece, I wound up with what amounted to an ex-tended rant about how utterly pointless events like Summer Game Fest have become. I went on and on about AAA publishers showing the same old stuff and using the same old tricks to try and drive preorder sales…
Favorite Summer Game Fest (and More) Reveals
At some point soon, we’ll all (or just me, at least) will stop calling Game Fest “not E3,” but until then…this past weekend was, indeed, not E3. It was the Summer Game Fest, plus Sony’s own State of Play, that brought forth a slew of gaming content, known and unknown, that players will see this…
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is Back!
I’d say that Nintendo surprised just about everyone when it announced a remake for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door last year. I mean, the company had spent the better part of 15 years trying to pretend that it wasn’t fans’ most beloved entry in the series and insisted on taking said series further and further…
My Street Fighter 6 Glamour Endgame
Capcom recently completed its first year of character releases for Street Fighter 6, which ended with the unleashing of Ed, a powerful psycho-boxer, and Akuma, a classic combatant. With that all said and done, I’ve returned to the game myself…well, the World Tour, anyway, in order to play through their stories and max out their…
Crow Country Doesn’t Quite Make it Back to Old School Horror
After playing through Crow Country’s brief demo a couple of months ago, I was eagerly looking forward to playing the full version. Classically-styled survival-horror is some thing of a rarity these days, so I’ll pursue it anywhere I can find it. So far, Resident Evil 7, Tormented Souls and Signalis have all provided great experiences…
You get a Fallout Crossover! And YOU get a Fallout Crossover!
Over the past day or so, news leaked about a set of Fallout cosmetics that apparently will be coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone at some point in the future. About a week ago, a new Fortnite update brought the addition of Fallout gear to the perennial battle royale. They say…
The In-Between Times
With having spent most of y gaming time in Helldivers 2 lately, I’ve found myself in kind of an awkward position when it comes to what to play at the moment. See, there are not one, but two games coming out this week (will be out by the time this is published): Animal Well and…
Fallout 4 Then Versus Now: A Very Unscientific Screenshot Comparison
Call me gullible, or curious, or something in between, but thanks to the new Amazon Fallout series, I have joined the throngs in returning to the Fallout games’ various wastelands. The TV show, enjoyable as it is, however, is only one part of the bandwagon equation. The other is that Bethesda released last week its…
Helldivers 2 is the Best Kind of Co-op Game
When I first got into Helldivers 2, I did so more or less on impulse after my friendshyped it up for a bit. I didn’t think it would be as good as they were saying, and, intruth, it’s not. It’s not a perfect experience and has a lot of issues to iron out yet. However,…
