If I’m being really, truly honest with myself, I can’t remember the last time I felt as hyped as I’m feeling now for two bigtime, upcoming releases: Starfield on the Xbox and Baldur’s Gate 3 on the PS5, both due on September 6th. Just how much space these two games are taking up in my…

Nintendo Switch Online Has Gotten Good, But it Needs to be Great
I’ve found it easy over the years to rag on Nintendo for the stunning lack of quality of its online services. Nintendo just struggles when it comes to internet functionality, and they’re certainly still lagging behind their competitors even now. Still though, they’ve made progress, and that should be noted too. I don’t know if…
Top 5: Games I’d Like to See Ported to the Nintendo Switch
I joined with many a raised eyebrow over Rockstar’s recent announcement concerning Red Dead Redemption. Rumors swirled over hopes that they’d be releasing a current-gen version of the game; but, in fact, the world will be seeing only ports of the game to the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch. I’m not one to grumble…
Demon’s Tilt: Finally a Proper Pinball Simulator
Okay, so I’m actually really late to the party on this one. Demon’s Tilt came out all the way back in 2018, and I only just recently found out about it. I’m a little disappointed that it took this long for it to get on my radar, but hey that just means I get to…
When Top-Tier Rewards Don’t Feel Top-Tier
As my gaming time has naturally reduced over the years, I’ve found myself having to be a bit more careful about how I bother going for the penultimate rewards for sidequests and such. This is purely anecdotal, but it still seems to me that it’s often not worth it to go for the best weapon,…
Indie is the Future for Older Gamers
This past weekend, I had the chance to attend BitSummit 2023. It’s an event sort of similar to Independent Games Festival, but smaller in scale. It’s all about the indies here, and seeing all the creativity on display was really a sight to behold. Seriously, I saw so many cool ideas this weekend, lots of…
Going with the Flow in Tears of the Kingdom
Since picking up The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at release I have been making my way through it ever so slowly. My opinion of it so far stands with what others have already said, like my cohort, The Duck of Indeed. My quick review at this point (main story-wise, I’ve so far…
I’m Still in Shock Over the Super Mario RPG Remake
Yeah, that’s more or less the sum of it. After more than 20 years of waiting (I hate that I’m able to say that), Nintendo has finally remembered that Super Mario RPG exists and is bringing us full and true remake later this year! I don’t know about you, but I absolutely didn’t see that…
There’s Always Gotta Be Something
I’m not usually one to rag on people for complaining when it comes to video games. I mean, no game is perfect; even games many people consider masterpieces have their detractors, and I myself don’t really care for a lot of the super popular titles out there. There’s also something to be said for making…
Getting Hooked on Dredge
Well, it looks like my indie gaming streak continues. I was planning on playing through Paper Mario (and probably still will), but a likely-broken cartridge and a recommendation from a friend might have changed that. See, I recently had a friend tell me about “Dredge”: an indie game about being a fisherman in seemingly quiet…
