Your gaming home away from home!
I was tempted to open this by saying that “touchstone” games had become a thing of the past. This, of course, isn’t true. In just the past couple of years, we’ve seen the releases like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Helldivers 2 just to name a few. All of these were big…

A recent article by journalist Jason Schreier on Obsidian, the studio responsible for The Outer Worlds and Grounded series, and Avowed, to name just a couple of its very recent credits, has been weaving its way through the news and social outlets. It’s an interesting read. While it’s focus is on the studio’s re-invention efforts,…
I wonder, when was it that microtransactions became so ubiquitos in the big-budget gaming space that the lack of them became a legitimate selling point? Was it a year ago? Five years?

Though I hate to admit it now, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was nowhere on my radar until my Virtual Bastion comrade, Hatm0nster, wrote about last spring. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have played then when its hype was beginning to amass. But at the time, I was on my own train with a bevy of…
Okay, so this isn’t exactly breaking news, but I wanted to talk about it a little bit anyway. In case you haven’t heard, Activision-Blizzard recently rebranded Overwatch 2. It’s new name? Overwatch. Yep, four years after forcing Overwatch 2 onto fans and taking down the original, the publisher has decided that that “2” in the…
As I continue my Kingdom Hearts marathon, my next stop was Birth by Sleep, a prequel that was originally released for the PSP, but which eventually came to consoles. Each of the three playable characters has their own story, during which you’ll be exploring different portions of the same worlds and experiencing different pieces of…
