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,…
A Look Back at Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Recently, I had the misfortune of being without internet for a couple of weeks. To put it simply it was rather inconvenient. I couldn’t play most of the games I’d been working on, couldn’t watch a lot of TV and couldn’t really do any writing. Even so, it was kind of nice in a way….
My Changing Tides as a Video Game Player
Though my familiarity with video games goes back to the mid-1980s, it was not until the late 2000s that I began to think of myself as a regular “player.” I personally mark that changeover to the moment when I was first introduced to expansive, narrative-driven, choice-heavy games via Fable. Before this, I played primarily platfomers…
My personal plea to those in the game industry…AGAIN
In real life, I work with relics of the past. I preserve little bits of history so that future folks know what life today was like. Sometimes, it’s tough, especially on the days when the “future” feels so bleak that I see nothing but a Fallout-esque future. Other times, it feels like the best job…
Hat’s Ten Favorite Games From the Past Ten Years or So
I probably don’t need to tell any of you that 10 years is a long time, so picking just 10 games out from a literal decade of awesome stuff took some real thought. There are of course the games you instantly remember, but ot all of those were great experiences, you know? Sometines you can…
