Your gaming home away from home!
I’m not usually one to get psyched for racing games. Something about them just isn’t terribly appealing to me I guess. There are exceptions though. In the PS2 days, I absolutely loved Burnout, and the Mario Kart series has always been a blast. There was also Hot Wheels: Velocity X on the Gamecube, and I’ve…
Outer Wilds is one of those video game masterpieces that most people have probably never even heard of. To give you a little bit of background, this game is like an open-world mystery that takes place in outer space. You explore a small, but complex, solar system, and your goal is to basically play the…
When Nintendo announced Super Mario 3D All-Stars last year, I found myself feeling hopeful that the company would finally start taking their classic library seriously again. Limited time items (with limited selections of games) like the NES and SNES Classics aside, Nintendo has spent the better part of 7 years doing almost nothing with their…
Up this week: Hatoful Boyfriend – even pigeons need love, which we quickly discover in this unusual (to say the least!) dating sim. Outer Wilds – we’re off to solve a time-looped mystery that’s as big as a solar system (and takes place in one, too) in this amazing and award-winning game! Undertale – join…
My final cheeky charlatan of our April Fools month celebration might just be the epitome of “cheeky” and “charlatan.” He’s a suave and charming (or so he thinks) fast-talking salesman who only want to make sure that you get the best deal on a ship in the Tri-Island Area! Yes, he’s the one and only…
Last week, Sega launched a new website featuring nothing but a countdown and a rather fetching background image. So far, Sega has said next to nothing about what the site is counting down to, but they have given up two clues. The first is that the site does indeed have something to do with Judgement,…
It seems to be a common theme that a lot of these “foolish” characters tend to not make the best first impression. Take Daxter, for example. Sure, you might remember him now as a goofy and likable character in Jak 2 and Jak 3, but when I first encountered him in the very first game…
Let’s get this out of the way, Sly probably isn’t the first character that comes to mind when one thinks of video game charlatans. He’s a thief, but he specializes in stealing from criminals rather than normal folk. So he’s not exactly a charlatan in the normal sense. He does have to don disguises every…
Up this week: Outer Wilds – we’re off to solve a time-looped mystery that’s as big as a solar system (and takes place in one, too) in this amazing and award-winning game! Undertale – join in as we play through this beloved RPG to answer the question: can we find our way out of the…
In terms of classic jokers (the ones who aren’t among Batman’s archenemies), a favorite has long been the characters who put up brave, happy faces in order to hide their inner cowardice. Yes, they love nothing more than to make light of a situation, making fun of anyone within their sphere of influences, which can…
