Hob: An Open-World Metroidvania About a World Infected by Purple Goo

Hob (or in my case, the Definitive Edition of Hob) is a 3D adventure-platformer of sorts where you explore an alien planet infected with a strange purple goo.  The story is told wordlessly through the environment, and the game is completely devoid of music, the ambience being comprised largely of exotic animal noises.  The early…

Summer Game Fest – Focusing on the Positive

The first time I attempted to write this piece, I wound up with what amounted to an ex-tended rant about how utterly pointless events like Summer Game Fest have become. I went on and on about AAA publishers showing the same old stuff and using the same old tricks to try and drive preorder sales…

Favorite Summer Game Fest (and More) Reveals

At some point soon, we’ll all (or just me, at least) will stop calling Game Fest “not E3,” but until then…this past weekend was, indeed, not E3. It was the Summer Game Fest, plus Sony’s own State of Play, that brought forth a slew of gaming content, known and unknown, that players will see this…

Nomada Studios Announces NEVA

Upcoming FNAF Game Into the Pit Just Got a New Trailer

A new trailer for the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s game, Into the Pit, just released.  But in case you’re unfamiliar, how about a bit of background before we dive in?  Into the Pit is the first ever official FNAF game based off of one of the stories, this one being a Fazbear Frights story…

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is Back!

I’d say that Nintendo surprised just about everyone when it announced a remake for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door last year. I mean, the company had spent the better part of 15 years trying to pretend that it wasn’t fans’ most beloved entry in the series and insisted on taking said series further and further…

My Street Fighter 6 Glamour Endgame

Capcom recently completed its first year of character releases for Street Fighter 6, which ended with the unleashing of Ed, a powerful psycho-boxer, and Akuma, a classic combatant. With that all said and done, I’ve returned to the game myself…well, the World Tour, anyway, in order to play through their stories and max out their…

Silent Hill 2 Remake is Getting Some Backlash

A new trailer came out for Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 Remake, and it’s gotten a few people upset. It’s not so much that the gameplay looks bad or anything, it seems. But rather, it’s that a couple of the game’s major characters look more than a little…off in this upcoming version.
