The Puppet and Withereds Debut in the Newest FNAF 2 Trailer

The second trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie (in theaters on December 5) released just a few days ago, and it looks amazing!  Though I do want to warn anyone hoping to go into the movie blind, as this trailer shows a bunch of animatronics not seen in the first trailer, so…

What Games Are You Getting This Summer?

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself buying fewer and fewer games at launch. There’s a few reasons for this, price being the biggest but also things like poor launch performance and DLC. Seriously, launch is probably the worst time to buy games, especially those from AAA studios. So, I usually wait. Sometimes months, sometimes…

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.

Is it Time to Move On?

As an aging gamer, I like my nostalgia and legacy series just as much as the next 30–something gaming fan. I mean, it was just last October that I was singing the praises of the Silent Hill 2 remake and I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about more than a few sequels, remakes and spiritual successors…

Atomfall: How Will You Escape a World Gone Awry?

When Rebellion’s Atomfall was first announced in the summer of 2024, comparisons to the Fallout franchise popped up almost immediately. I’ll admit that the similar post-apocalyptic feel had me hooked enough to name Atomfall as one my most anticipated games of this year. The game was released in March and I downloaded it then, but…

Halo 4 and Halo 5 Reportedly Managed to Sell 10 Million Units Each

As the Halo series has gone on, its image has only gotten worse. Yet, it seems that sales for each game haven’t exactly slowed down. According to one Chris Haluke, former Lead Designer at 343 Industries, both Halo 4 and Halo 5 managed to hit 10 million units sold over their lifetimes. While perhaps not…
