Your gaming home away from home!
Up this week: Rayman Legends (Switch, 2017) – enjoyable and hilarious platforming abounds in this latest Rayman game; it’s Rayman versus the Dark Teensies, nightmares must be fought, and many lums collected! Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4, 2017) – who is Aloy and why are her lands overrun by machines? We find out in our playthrough…
When the “One Wasteland for All” patch was released for Fallout 76 in September, despite my best efforts, I was pretty darn excited. With Bethesda’s promise that one could now “experience all that the Appalachian Wasteland [had] to offer no matter [one’s] level” with “re-balanced combat and rewards,” I was ready to tackle all those…
The next-gen consoles are almost here, and they’re bringing a bunch of updated games with them at launch. While some probably prefer to see more truly new games accompanying the systems’ launch (myself being one of them), they’re still creating a reason for people to try out some games they missed during the initial launch…
I first became aware of Inmost thanks to a trailer on YouTube. I don’t recall even finishing the trailer because the first few moments had already piqued my interest. The game’s surprisingly beautiful pixel art style and eerie atmosphere was what hooked me. Oftentimes, it is unwise to judge a game based solely on such…
Alright, Halloween was yesterday so Uncanny Accounts should technically be over now, but it’s still the weekend and thus I’ve one final bit of creepy lore to touch on! I think no series about uncanny gaming stories and/or lore is complete without an entry from good ol’ Fallout. As fans well know, the Fallout games…

The Metroid series is well-known for several things, from excellent wordless-storytelling to defining platforming mechanics. But one its lesser-known traits is the ease which with the games promote unease. While not particularly scary in the tradition of horror games, the Metroid games are rife with near-death scenarios that enforce the notion that Samus is a…
The team behind Destruction AllStars announced this week that they’re delaying the game. it was originally supposed to release in November this year, but it has now been pushed back to a February release date. There is a benefit to this change though: PlayStation Plus subscribers will have two months to download the game for…
It should surprise no one that we’re writing about Majora’s Mask once again. As one of the darkest and most unique entries in the Zelda franchise, the game serves as a perfect source for unsettling lore. Rather than discuss any one thing, though, I’m actually going to list several bits of lore from the game…
One of my all-time favorite games is Supergiant Games’ Transistor. I love how the combat works. I love the art style. I love the characters, the world and the overall plot. Cloudbank is a beautiful world, one that was seemingly a joy to live in before the Fall. However, not everyone thought that way, which…
