Spooktober 2025: Arresting Arachnids

In a world of gaming filled with zombies, aliens, orcs, assassins, and mutated monsters, it may seem that there’s not much room left for the worst enemy of them all… …SPIDERS. While I personally find skeletons to be the most unsettling type of enemy throughout entertainment, spiders take a very close second. Oh, I’m fine…

Halo: Campaign Evolved Won’t Have Online PvP

A lot of info about Halo: Campaign Evolved over the past few days, Proper gameplay was shown, comparison videos have been made, and it’s coming to PlayStation (how crazy is that?)! But, there will apparently be one big negative: no online competitive multiplayer.

Spooktober: Animal Crossing’s Tarantula and Scorpion Islands

The last game you’d expect to be discussed during Spooktober is most assuredly the cute and relaxing life sim, Animal Crossing.  After all, what could possibly be scary about decorating your house or meeting new animal friends?  Well, ever since the franchise’s debut on the Nintendo GameCube, there has been one, no, make that two…

Spooktober 2025: SOMA’s Chilling Questions

As I considered what to talk about in this final post of Spooktober 2025, I found myself thinking about whey games had left a lasting impact.

Pokemon Legends Z-A Is Looking Rough, and It Really Shouldn’t

I’ve long been of the opinion graphics don’t really matter, certainly not of much as they used to. You could have the most realistic or high fidelity game ever made and it’d still be garbage if the gameplay is no good (see: The Callisto Protocol). However, this isn’t to say that visuals don’t matter at…

Spooktober: The Many Traumas of Outer Wilds

Outer Wilds is a fantastic game where you discover the mysteries of your galaxy, while a supernova occurs every 22 minutes.  (And time travel is involved or else it would be a very short game indeed).  Nothing else can truly compare, making this one of my favorite games of all time.  There’s just one teensy,…

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…
