Tearaway Unfolded: Demo Review

Out of all the demos I’ve played thus far, my favorites have easily been Unravel and the subject of today’s post, Tearaway Unfolded.  Initially known simply as Tearaway on the PS Vita, this remake for the PS4 makes use of the controller’s motion controls and touchpad.  The game has a really adorable papercraft aesthetic, and…

Getting into Trading Card Games as a Video Gamer

For the longest time, I’ve mostly written off trading card games as something not worth engaging in. I mean, I collected Pokemon cards as a kid, but I think that was only because it was the “it” thing to do at the time. All the guys at my elementary school spent their recess and lunch…

Resonance: Stay Out of the Moonlight

A few weeks ago, I decided to revisit the original Psychonauts and see if I could get some of the remaining collectibles that I had missed.  While this whole affair was a mixture of fun and aggravating, one of the best parts of revisiting this game revolved around seeking out the PSI cards, challenge markers,…

Xeodrifter: Demo Review

Xeodrifter is a pixelated, Metroidvania-style space adventure which appears to be heavily inspired by games like Metroid and Super Metroid.  You are thrown right into the gameplay, finding yourself on some sort of alien planet with absolutely no direction.  A short bit of exploring later, and I had already defeated the first boss and obtained…

GTA III, I Tried…I Really Tried

Some months back, I was eager to connect with my chaotic side through the likes of Grand Theft Auto III: The Definitive Edition. For a while, Claude (the main character) and I were inseparable peas in a pod, summarily solving all the problems of gang warfare in a nascent Liberty City. We did good, or…
