Still Going Strong: Celebrating Virtual Bastion’s 10th Anniversary

It seems like another lifetime ago that three bloggers – Hatm0nster, The Duck of Indeed, and myself — came together to form United We Game. The site, which debuted in the spring of 2013, was all about sharing our love of gaming and inviting others to share their own gaming stories. As time went on,…

Mechs Dropped “Early” for Helldivers 2

Late on Sunday, Helldivers 2 players got a big surprise with the sudden addition of mechs into the game. Now mechs were apparently announced a long time ago, so their existence isn’t the surprise. Rather it’s theirs and other vehicle’s sudden surfacing that is. How it’s come about is not yet clear at the time…

Oddworld: Soulstorm: Demo Review

I first heard of Oddworld when I saw an advertisement for Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee on the back of a poster for Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge.  (Betcha didn’t know there was a Banjo-Kazooie game for the GBA!)  The series remained in the back of my mind for the ensuing 20 years until I found the demo for…

When Games Bring Out Your Ugly Side

For the most part, I think games are supposed to be a relaxing thing. Once your day is done and its compliment of tasks are completed, enjoying a game should be a matter of stress-free fun. I think this is mostly the case for single player games, but, for me, multiplayer is a different story….

Big Times in Sackboy: A Big Adventure

Over my winter break, I was looking to clear out my backlog a little, and I stumbled across Sackboy: A Big Adventure. It had become free at some point through PS Plus, and as I had heard decent things about it when it was new, I snatched it up…only to have it sit, sit, and…

Yoko Taro Teases Possible Sequel to Nier: Automata

It seems that us Nier: Automata fans might just be getting a follow-up to one of our favorite games. There’s nothing official of course, but even just the hint of a sequel would be notable, and seems we’ve finally gotten one. We mustn’t get our hopes up, of course, but even so this is rather…

Fall of Porcupine: Demo Review

Fall of Porcupine follows the story of a new doctor named Finley at the underfunded St. Ursula’s Hospital in the small town of Porcupine, inhabited only by anthropomorphic animals.  The demo took me about 1.5 hours to complete, and in that time, I mainly focused on treating three patients, hanging out with fellow coworkers Karl…

Looking Longingly at PC Gaming

There was a time when I thought consoles were (and would always be) the best way to play. They were so much easier and faster than PCs and I’ve always much preferred a gamepad to keyboard controls. Of course, the years have seen most, if not all, the advantages of console gaming slowly get whittled…
