Top 5 Worst Levels from Donkey Kong Country
I’ve already posted a little list ranking my top 5 favorite stages from the original Donkey Kong Country from 1994. And now it’s time for the worst.

Top 5 Best Levels from Donkey Kong Country
Seeing as the original Donkey Kong Country games for the SNES have a special place in my heart, it’s odd that I’ve never actually ranked any of the levels before.

Nintendo Swings for the Fences
Well, what an interesting year, and then some, it’s shaping up to be in the world of gaming! After the Xbox Showcase at Game Fest, I didn’t think much else could come out on top. But, Nintendo then went and released a phenomenal Direct that proved they are still in it to win it. Though…

Top 10 Creepiest Dredge Aberrations
In a unique little fishing game called Dredge, there’s always this uneasy sense that something is not right. And one of the most obvious examples of this are the aberrations, bizarre and sometimes outright grotesque mutations of normally mundane fish.

When tasked with the simple action of choosing my favorite games of 2013-2023, things proved not so simple. That’s mainly because the first list I came up with not only long but also, as I was working just from memory, contained a number of games that came out just before 2013. Eliminating those games helped…
