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!
Spooktober 2025: The Terrifying Brilliance of RE7’s Video Tapes
It might be because I’ve been playing and discussing games for so long now, but I find myself wandering back to the same games every time the spooky season rolls around. I play new stuff constantly, horror games included, but I suppose it just takes a lot for something to really stick now. Anyway, I…
Top 5: My “Deserted Island” First-Person Games
For this “deserted island” list, I strongly debated with myself as to whether or not to distinguish between first-person shooters and first-person games. Only then I remembered that I’ve hardly played any FPS’s, strictly speaking, so I opened up the floor to games that only feature the first-person viewpoint, whether or not shooting at things…
Top 5: My “Deserted Island” 3D Platformers
While I can imagine a universe in which I’m happy enough on my island with my small, “forever” collection of 2D platformers, I’m sure a moment would occur in which I wanted just a little…more. Something a little more immersive, open, and visually impressive. Enter in the 3D platformers! Call them transversal games, call them…
Top 5: My “Deserted Island” Fighting Games
I know what you’re thinking…what’s the use of having fighting games on a deserted island when you’d have no one with whom to play?? It’s a valid question. I suppose the answer lies in the fact that while I personally don’t enjoy being overly challenged in games generally, I don’t mind the working through challenges…
Top 5: My “Deserted Island” 2D Platformers
No deserted island full of all the games and consoles imaginable would be complete without a few good, old-fashioned 2D platformers. Games in this staple genre combine action, adventure, and story without the need for complex battle mechanics, infinite skill trees, and inventory management. (Well…mostly.) These games are all about getting from point A to…
Top 5: My “Deserted Island” RPGs
On this site’s former life, a long, long, loooong time ago, I ran a “deserted island” series that featured lists of games that I’d want to have if I were to get stuck on an abandoned isle with any given console of the time. Since that series ended with the Xbox 360/PS3, I’ve since considered…
FNAF: Help Wanted 2: Ranking All Stages by Difficulty – Part 2
I’ve already discussed the less demanding mini-games of FNAF: Help Wanted 2, so today, I’ll be ranking the absolute worst, most stressful levels of the game! Whether we’re having to be meticulous within a time limit or fending off aggressive animatronics (or plushies) in more classic FNAF gameplay, these are the levels that probably shaved…
