If someone had told me six months ago that one of my most-played games of the last quarter of 2025 would be a skateboarding game, I’d have called them crazy. And yet, it’s true! I’m talking about the new and not-without-controversy title, skate. Released by EA in mid-September, skate. is a live-service, online game that’s…

Listmas 2025: Kingdom Hearts World Ranking
One of my favorite game series of all time is Kingdom Hearts, a mashup of Disney and Final Fantasy that is surprisingly deep and works far better than you’d expect. With memorable characters and lore that rivals that of Five Nights at Freddy’s, the first two numbered games of the series in particular will always…
Listmas 2025: Games I Want to Give Out This Year
Listmas is here again at last, and here at the outset I’m already thinking about the games I want to give out to my friends and family members who game. It was kind of hard to determine which games would make good gifts since everyone’s tastes are different, but I think the following would be…
Listmas is Coming!
Do you hear that? The sounds of furious typing and hasty scribbling as holiday lists are made? While jingle bells may herald the arrival of candy in stockings and presents under a decorated tree, it’s these list-making sounds that we look forward to every year, for they mean Listmas is upon us once again!
Listmas 2024: Five Great Things About Dragon Age: The Veilguard
If you happen to follow me on my personal blog, there I’ve been a little down on Dragon Age: The Veilguard. In hindsight, I don’t know that I’ve been abnormally picky, but I haven’t yet reached a point where I’m seeing BioWare’s vision for what it wants the game to be. At the moment, the…

It’s time for our wildcard week, folks! While the rest of the month was dedicated to relationships, I thought I’d focus more on our surroundings for this week’s post. Because who doesn’t enjoy decorating their home for Christmas and getting it nice and festive in time for all your guests to arrive? So today, I’m…
Listmas 2024: Favorite Games for the Christmas Season
Well, Christmas has come and gone again, and all that’s left is to enjoy the last little bit of quiet before the new year arrives. Between the parties, gatherings and get-togethers, what games do you like to play as you sit back and enjoy the quiet moments here at the end of the year? Do…
Listmas 2024: A BioWare Bash!
With my first Listmas list this year, I said that when it comes to favorite friends and families in games, my mind immediately goes to BioWare titles. For the past three lists, I’ve actively avoided its output in an attempt to, quite literally, think outside the “BioWare box.” Well, with my holiday gatherings list, it’s…
Listmas 2024: The Duck’s Revised Christmas Guest List
Our last Listmas category before our wildcard week revolves around those characters we’d most want to spend the holidays with, whether it be due to our inkling that they’d be good gift-givers or just a lot of fun to be around. I actually wrote a similar post back in 2022 if you want to check…
Listmas 2024: Look Who’s Come for Christmas Dinner!
While games are good primarily due to good gameplay, good characters are a large part of what makes a game fun and memorable. Getting to know them is often as interesting as the overarching story itself, and I dare say many of us have thought about who we’d like to hang out with IRL were…
