Ever since I saw the first trailer for Fall Guys -Ultimate Knockout- back during E3 2019 (I think that’s when it was anyway), I’ve been quietly looking forward to it. I wasn’t super-psyched for it, and I wasn’t feeling the hype. Rather, I’d find myself thinking that it looked like a very charming game offering…

Paper Mario: The Origami King – So Far, So…So.
The newest Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Origami King, is finally here, and this time I decided to jump-in right away. I’ve been waiting since Super Paper Mario for the series to get good again, and the pre-release media for this game was encouraging. I haven’t finished it yet, but I’ve got enough for some…
Ghost of Tsushima is…Excellent!
Even though I was looking forward to seeing Sucker Punch’s latest project in action, I wasn’t particularly hyped to actually play Ghost of Tsushima. I absolutely thought it looked like it would be a good and interesting game, but it’s kind of outside my usual sphere of interest when it comes to games. See, Ghost…
I Am the Future of Gaming?
I couldn’t help but chuckle a little bit after reading Phil Spencer’s recent and well-meaning Xbox Wire post, “You Are the Future of Gaming.” Microsoft wants to the Xbox Series X to do well, obviously, and Mr. Spencer is an awesome salesman. The post thoughtfully enforces Xbox’s current mantra of inclusion and access — how…
Game Prices Are Going Up, But Should They?
While it hasn’t been officially announced, announcements like NBA 2K21’s new price tag have rumors swirling that game prices will be going up once the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One X hit the market. If the rumors are to be believed, the price of a new game will increase from $60 to $70. I don’t…
Unfit for the Trials
For the past few weeks, I’ve slowly been getting back into the Destiny flow. I’ve been gathering weapons, raising my light (power) level, and playing through all the new seasonal content. I’ve also been trying to re-kindle my old Crucible skills too, which has, unfortunately, been a lot harder to do than I thought it…
From Noob to Master to Noob Again
I recently started up Destiny 2 again after about a year away from it, and I discovered that much of my old knowledge no longer applied. Quite a lot changed in Destiny 2 over the past year, and I had kept up with it for the most part. Still, I hadn’t actually played the game…
The More I See of Cyberpunk 2077, the More I Want to Play The Witcher 3
My history with The Witcher games goes about as deep as a sauce pan. Via Steam, I put a sizeable handful of hours into both the first and second games combined, and both failed to capture my attention. And, according to the Internet, I must have done something wrong, because The Witcher games are, as…
Well, Guess I’m Back on the Destiny 2 Wagon
Recently, I wrote about how I miss the days of the first Destiny and how I haven’t really been able to get into Destiny 2 despite its progress. I do still feel that way about Destiny 2. I want to get into it and enjoy the game like I did the original, but I’m still…
First (and Second) Impressions of The Talos Principle
After putting in a solid dozen or so hours into The Talos Principle, I can safely say that I remain both delighted and intimidated by puzzle games of this sort. I’m not sure what this might say about my gaming tendencies generally, only that my recent years in gaming have shown that I’m super cautious…
