Game Prices Are Going Up, But Should They?

While it hasn’t been officially announced, announcements like NBA 2K21’s new price tag have rumors swirling that game prices will be going up once the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One X hit the market. If the rumors are to be believed, the price of a new game will increase from $60 to $70. I don’t…

Top 5: Memorable Real-Life Locations in Games

Although I’ve been enjoying The Talos Principle, I find that when I start playing puzzle games, I often need to to have another, less cerebral game going at the same time. Recently, I found the perfect such candidate in Marvel’s Spider-Man. I’m still finding my footing with this game, but its high-action pacing and web-slinging…

Ghost of Tsushima is Still Looking Sharp

Sucker Punch’s next big game is out in just a couple of days and we’ve thus gotten one last trailer to keep the hype going until Ghost of Tsushima finally crosses the proverbial finish line to release. I honestly haven’t been following the game all that closely of the past couple of years, but I’ve…

Resonance: The Abyss

One of my all-time favorite video game series has always been Rayman.  The games are seriously some of the most creative and unique out there, from the lush and intricately detailed locations, bizarre creatures, and amazing soundtrack.  I have actually already discussed the series’ soundtrack twice before (you can find the links at the bottom…

Unfit for the Trials

For the past few weeks, I’ve slowly been getting back into the Destiny flow. I’ve been gathering weapons, raising my light (power) level, and playing through all the new seasonal content.

The Sims 4: Saying Goodbye

This is the final post about my experience playing The Sims 4 for the first time. For previous posts in the series, see here (part 1), here (part 2), here (part 3), and here (part 4). Upon venturing into Peeps’ senior years in The Sims 4, one of the first things I did was to…

The World Ends With You is Coming Back…As an Anime?

Back when it originally released on the Nintendo DS in 2007, the World Ends With You was seen as a competent, albeit unusual game from the minds behind Kingdom Hearts. Its following has grown over the bast decade though and it was re-released to a fair amount of excitement on the Nintendo Switch in October…

I Finally Played Yoshi’s Island

The most I knew about Yoshi’s Island was the fact that most (if not all) people who play it find baby Mario’s crying extremely aggravating.  In fact, I knew there were several Yoshi games out there, and I didn’t even know which one it was that included such a…unique feature.  (I was mainly confused about…
