Your gaming home away from home!
The battle royale craze may be over, but the games are still rolling into town nonetheless. The next title to throw its hat into the fray will be GRIT: a wild west-themed take on the genre. While the idea of an all-out cowboy brawl sounds pretty fun on paper, I wonder if it’s really enough…
I’ve actually written about Swaine before on my own blog, but when we decided on the topic of “playfully mischievous characters” for the month of April, I couldn’t help but revisit my favorite character from Ni no Kuni, the snarky thief Swaine. Funnily enough, my original feelings for Swaine were actually far from positive because,…
When first started discussing gaming’s greatest mischief makers, Redd the Fox was one of the first characters to pop into my mind.

In Dragon Age: Inquisition’s DLC, Trespasser, provided she and your inquisitor are friends, there is a scene that defines the elven rogue Sera more than any other. Upon the two meeting on the eve of the Exalted Council – something of a United Nations, but much smaller and more religious — Sera invites the inquisitor…
Well, it’s finally happening. PlayStation Store services are finally being brought to an end for PSP, PS Vita and PlayStation 3. It was only a matter of time, and indeed this is something practically every knew was coming eventually, but it’s still kind of amazing. Once this hits, there are going to be a lot…
Years ago, I wrote a review for the original Yooka-Laylee, which I had played shortly after its release. Looking back, I’m surprised at how kind I was because…my true opinion of the game was a lot harsher than what was seen in that review. I think I felt bad complaining about the game too much…
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been really digging-into The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. I’ve had good time with it, and I’ve had some not so good time with it. I’ve got plenty to say about the former, but all I’ll say about the latter is that I now fully understand why everyone who’s…
Up this week: Undertale – join in as we play through this beloved RPG to answer the question: can we find our way out of the Underground while taking the “pacifist” route? Celeste – what is Celeste Mountain? And why is a girl named Madeline climbing it? Watch and find out as we play Celeste!…
With the jolly month of April on the horizon, we here at Virtual Bastion are revisiting one of our favorite yearly themes: April Fool’s! Not literally, of course, because we’re not fooling around with our chosen subject. This year we’re going to be profiling our favorite (or “favorite,” as the case may be) “Cheeky Charlatans”…
