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…
In the Dragon Age series, “lyrium” is a mysterious mined substance that plays a large role throughout the games. Regular lyrium, in its raw, turquoise blue form, is extremely volatile to nearly all races, and it can only be safely extracted by dwarves of the mining caste. Processed lyrium, however, is used (delicately, though sometime…
Okay, so this isn’t exactly breaking news, but I’m still feeling pretty excited about this announcement. It was a pretty pleasant surprise when Square Enix announced that they would be bringing the original Nier back with upgraded visuals (and more?), so it’s going to be kind of a hard wait until Nier Replicant launches in…
If you’re a fellow Animal Crossing fan, odds are you enjoy collecting gyroids. In fact, there are over 100 different kinds, and they can be found in each game in the series (aside from New Horizons; we’re still waiting on that update, Nintendo). They are a rather fun and interesting collectible due to how unique…
This month of Uncanny Accounts is all about video games and the creepy, spooky, odd or downright strange stories in and around them. While there are lesser-known tales to regale you all with, I figured the best way to kickoff a month of terrifying virtual tales is with the story behind a truly classic dungeon:…

Here at Virtual Bastion, we love the fall and everything that comes with it, including the spooky aura of October. Traditionally, we’ve used this month to share with you our own stories about scary games, haunting moments in games, games that make things go bump in the night! Though 2020 has been challenging, our October…
Okay, so this isn’t really breaking news, but it’s still worth seeing for anyone who hasn’t gotten around to it yet. See, Sony and Bluepoint Games released about 4 minutes of gameplay for Demon’s Souls Remake, and I have to say that it’s really looking impressive. The improved framerate alone is enough to have me…
More often than not, a game with an interesting art style is a surefire way to grab my attention. While this is most certainly not the only criteria one should consider when perusing their gaming options, it has also led me to such interesting titles as Okami, GRIS, and Cuphead, all of which are excellent…
Well, I’ve finished Control’s last DLC add-on: AWE. As expected, it only lasted a few hours, but it took some twists and turns that I didn’t really expect. It’s strange; I kind of got what I wanted in it, got a piece of news I never expected and still walked away feeling a little disappointed….
