Looking Back at Chrono Trigger

A short while ago, I was asked if I’d ever consider doing classic game reviews, like Super Nintendo, N64, Gamecube and, heck anything older than PS4/Xbox One. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have if I hadn’t been asked since I consider stuff from all those eras pretty well-tread ground. However, everyone’s experiences are, as they say,…

Fallout 76: Flatlining Again

A few months back, after following the game’s new but underwhelming path to becoming a ghoul, I had a thought. What if I played through the game’s main story (and subsequent expansions) as a ghoul from the start? Though shotgunner Karla’s story ended with her turning back into a human again (because, at that point,…

HCS To Retire Halo Infinite This Year

Halo Studios has announced that Halo Infinite will be retired from the HCS esports circuit after the championship this year. It also seems that there will be no HCS in 2026 in order to make presparations for the next Halo title. This was inevitable, perhaps, but it’s still surprising to see the game being brought…

The Puppet and Withereds Debut in the Newest FNAF 2 Trailer

The second trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie (in theaters on December 5) released just a few days ago, and it looks amazing!  Though I do want to warn anyone hoping to go into the movie blind, as this trailer shows a bunch of animatronics not seen in the first trailer, so…

What Games Are You Getting This Summer?

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself buying fewer and fewer games at launch. There’s a few reasons for this, price being the biggest but also things like poor launch performance and DLC. Seriously, launch is probably the worst time to buy games, especially those from AAA studios. So, I usually wait. Sometimes months, sometimes…

Top 5: My “Deserted Island” 3D Platformers

While I can imagine a universe in which I’m happy enough on my island with my small, “forever” collection of 2D platformers, I’m sure a moment would occur in which I wanted just a little…more. Something a little more immersive, open, and visually impressive. Enter in the 3D platformers! Call them transversal games, call them…

Ubisoft CEO Blames Organized Criticism For Poor Game Reception

The more I see and hear from the executives in charge of major AAA gaming companies, the more convinced I become that they truly neither care about their product, nor do they want to. While they still make stupid amounts of money thanks to the casual audience, AAA is nonetheless becoming less and less relevant…

Boxville: Demo Review 

Boxville is a point-and-click puzzle game about sentient cans inhabiting a cardboard city.  No one speaks, but rather, communicates completely through drawings.  I’ve played plenty of games like this, whether it be When the Past Was Around or The Almost Gone, where you wander around, gather items to use in other locations, and solve puzzles. …
