Now that we’re squarely in the midst of 2025, it’s really been hitting how many of my favorite games from my student days now fall in the “retro” category of games. Where the likes of the GameCube and PS2 were once the new hotness, they’re now practically fossils. Heck, the younger member of the gaming…

Revisited: There’s Always Time for Animal Crossing
With the holiday season approaching and scehdules getting tighter and more hectic, I thought now would be a good opportunity to take a moment and think about those games that you can always find a little time for, one of those being Animal Crossing!
Spooptober: Madame Clairvoya
One of the best games to really embrace the spoopy theme is Luigi’s Mansion, that fun little romp where Luigi must capture ghosts by sucking them up in a vacuum. While the game features all sorts of silly, smiling ghouls, that doesn’t change the fact that these ghosts are still eager to give poor Luigi…

So when I saw that the Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles HD remake…
Dinosaur Planet: The Cancelled Predecessor to Star Fox Adventures
Those familiar with Star Fox Adventures for the GameCube should be well aware that this was not your traditional Star Fox game. In fact, it was much more akin to a Zelda game than a series revolving around animal pilots flying about in the vacuum of space. Well, that’s because Star Fox Adventures was never…
Animal Crossing is Kind of Amazing
The rain is already back in my (current) part of the world, and rain always gets me thinking about Animal Crossing. Well, not Animal Crossing itself, but the rainy day theme from the original game. I can’t help but wander back to it whenever the first rain of the year shows up, and that’s usually…
