The Marathon Situation is Kinda Silly

I’m gonna keep it real here, I was as prepared to hate on Marathon as just about anyone else, but after playing it for myself during the Marathon Server Slam last week, I don’t think it deserves it. This doesn’t mean that I like the game or the business practices Bungie seems to want to…

Yep, I’m Fired Up for Fable

Being late to the party, as usual, I just recently got around to checking out the preview of Playground Games’ Fable, which was featured during last month’s Xbox Developer Direct. As a fan of the original series, I’ve had my eye on this new entry since it was first announced way back in the summer…

FromSoftware Reportedly Rejected a Bloodborne Remake from Bluepoint, Not Sony

Something that many PlayStation and soulsborne fans have been hoping to see for a very long time now is some sort of remaster or remake for Bloodborne. It’s also something that just has not materialized despite keen fan interest and money-making potential. Between Sony’s continued lack of acknowledgement of fan interest and its recent closure…

The Last Cube: Demo Review

Darwin’s Paradox! Demo Review

While the Internet says that Darwin’s Paradox! was first announced several years ago, I didn’t catch wind of it until one of Sony’s State of Play showcases from almost exactly a year ago. Fast forward to the present, and the game’s demo appears, much to my delight. I eagerly dove into it upon release and…

Nintendo is on a Mission

And it seems that mission is to see just how much it can get away with before people finally decide to stop blindly buying their stuff. Yup, Nintendo is once again courting controversy by, once again, making decisions that are decidedly not consumer-friendly. Heck, they aren’t even fan-friendly. The decision in question: selling Pokemon Fire…

Top 10 Most Aggravating Levels from Donkey Kong Country 3

Being my least favorite Donkey Kong Country game in the original trilogy, I could still admit in my previous list that this game has plenty of fun and memorable levels.  It also has plenty of evil ones that I despise to varying degrees of white-hot hatred.  Whether it’s dealing with a level that doesn’t even…
