Spooktober 2025: Blue Prince’s (E)state of Madness

Located in northern California, it’s a massive Victorian home that was built and built onto over the course of more than three decades, from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.

Xbox Game Pass Discount Scrapped on All Games and DLC Purchases

With every move it makes this year, my suspicion that Microsoft is looking to scrap the Xbox label grows stronger.

Spooktober: The Time Hogwarts Legacy Turned Into a Horror Movie

Hogwarts Legacy is a massive Harry Potter RPG that I played off and on for roughly a year, spanning 80+ hours.  The world of Harry Potter is, undoubtedly, a spooky one indeed, with giant spiders (the acromantula is just the worst!), undead inferi, super sus dark magic, and lots of ghosts and poltergeists.  To my…

The Worst Kept Secret in Conker’s Bad Fur Day

In the pantheon of 3D platformers, Rare’s Conker’s Bad Fur Day is a bit of an outlier. It has the bones of an exploration game with the muscle of a puzzle-platformer and the brains of an action-platformer. But its most noticeable departure from tradition has to do with collecting. Unlike its most comparable titles (Banjo-Kazooie,…
