How much does a game’s ending impact its replay value? How much should a games’s ending impact its replay value? Before, my answers to these questions would hve been more or less the same: “heavily.” After all, the ending is the culmination of all your efforts in a game, right? If it doesn’t go well,…

Spooktober Bonus: My Scariest Gaming Moment
Well, here we are. It’s Halloween weekend. If there is any one time for spooks and scares in the year, this is it! Despite our planning, Spooktober is’t quite over yet, so I figured now would be a great time to share my scariest gaming moment. You could say that it combines almost all of…
Virtuix Omni One Opens Pre-Orders, Starting Price is $2,600
For those unfamiliar with Virtuix, it’s a company that primarily sells gaming accessories, with its main product being an omni-directional treadmill fittingly called the “Omni.” Until now, the Omni has really only been available for gaming locations like Dave and Busters, but it’s looking like the company hopes to change that soon.
Scariest Enemies: Humanoid Monstrosities
Video games are filled to the brim with weird and creepy monsters, but if I had to narrow it down, humanoid creatures are probably my least favorite foe. It could be the inherent creepiness of the uncanny valley, or it could just be that I don’t like facing off against something that either used to…
Spooktober: Please Stop Hunting Me!
At first I thought that it was going to be a little hard to pick a single kind of scare that gets me the most in horror games, but after not actually all that much thought, I realized that I absolutely hate the feeling of being hunted! More than simply running away, being hunted I…

As of now, Microsoft has suspended the promotion until further notice. If you want to play Bethesda’s latest, you’re either going to have to…
Playing the Waiting Game
As I’ve gotten older, I like to think that I’ve grown more patient. I remember counting the days up until one exciting thing or another as a kid, and with video games I couldn’t help but greedily gobble-up every morsel of news or rumors I could find ahead of release. The waiting was awful though,…
Baldur’s Gate Gate 3 Gives Me Hope For the Future of AAA Games
It’s kind of an odd feeling to be having concerning one singular game, yet here it is all the same. Baldur’s Gate 3 has me feeling that perhaps AAA gaming isn’t completely doomed after all. It’s not so much that I expect the game to somehow single-handedly lead the industry out of the darkness or…
Final Fantasy XVI is Kind of Incredible!
Though I’ve played a handful of Final Fantasy games over the years, I’m not sure that I can call myself a Final Fantasy fan per se. Fans, I feel, are more dedicated and more passionate in their feelings regarding their favorite series, I think. Still, perhaps I can at least call myself an “enjoyer” of…
Only One “First”
This past week, my game of choice has been Dredge. It’s a fishing game with eldritch horror elements, and I’ve found myself really enjoying the progression of both the atmosphere and fishing gameplay. I’ve also rather enjoyed learning more about this mysterious world I’m playing in and pulling back the layers of its core mystery….
