What Should Animal Crossing Do Next?

With Switch 2 finally revealed, I find my thoughts once again drifting towards one of the biggest games of the current Switch: Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Nintendo did a great many things right with that one, so many that the game was the perfect thing to get many gaming fans through the lockdown periods of…

[Revisited] Fallout 4’s DLC Changed My Opinion on Fallout 4

Over in the world of Starfield, I recently began playing its lone DLC, Shattered Space. And, y’know what? It’s not half bad. In fact, it might even be pretty good. I’m still to early in it to say for sure, but so far, I’m liking the setting, the characters, and the main mission at-hand. It’s…

Balatro Makes it to Xbox Game Pass, Friends of Jimbo 4 is Here!

Fan of Balatro that I am, I’ll take any chance I can to talk about it. And, well what better opportunity than a simultaneous console launch and free DLC pack? Indeed, as of yesterday, Balatro is available on Xbox (both a la carte and via Game Pass), and its fourth col- laboration card pack has…

Struggling Through the Dead Cells Game Trial

Nintendo Switch Online users were granted a free game trial of Dead Cells at the end of January, a game I had on my wishlist, but had never really looked into very much.  You see, I had heard good things about it and wanted to place it in my list to remember for later, but…

Going Even Further Beyond: Seeking Mastery in Games

Since sometime in the fall of last year, I’ve been playing Balatro fairly regularly. When I first started it, I thought I’d only be sticking around until I’d gotten a few wins on the highest difficulty. Yet, here I am still playing months later. It turns out that just squeaking out a few wins isn’t…

The End is Only the Beginning in Starfield

Or…at least that’s what Bethesda would like players to think. But I shouldn’t get head of myself in formulating my thoughts on Starfield after finally completing its main story. Doing so didn’t take me nearly as long as it did with, say, Fallout 4, but the process felt much more arduous. In just a matter…

Looks Like Activision Got Caught Using Al Content Again

Having never been a real fan of Call of Duty, I cannot personally speak to how recent entries in the series stack up to their predecessors. If the feedback from actual players is any indication, however, then it would seem that modern CoD games are no substitute for those of console generations past. Quality appears…

Analyzing the Secret of the Mimic Trailer

At last, some official footage for the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s game, Secret of the Mimic, has been revealed.  For whatever reason, Steel Wool has been especially secretive about this game, not allowing anyone to record any footage of the demo at PAX West months ago.  But just last week, we got a trailer…
