I’m about to type something that might prove…irksome. Ahem. I don’t get Shadow of the Colossus. Oh, I heard that gasp! alright. But hear me out. I’ve only just started the game and have taken down a mere four colossi. It took me three of them to really understand the controls and tactics of the…

All the games I didn’t buy, and one I did, from Steam’s Summer Sale
Last week, Steam’s hallowed Summer Sale began. Yes, that one of two times a year when folks can pick up a plethora of games, mostly old(er) but sometime new, for pennies. Though my wallet would like otherwise, I am not immune to Steam’s charms during these sales. In the past, I’ve used the Summer Sale…

Into the Chaos: Borderlands 2
Borderlands 2 and I shouldn’t have gotten along. It’s an first-person shooter, and a fairly aggressive one at that. It strongly suggests the addition of teammates. It’s tiredly open-world. It contains only limited role-playing elements. There are no difficulty options. Its story seemed to require prerequisite knowledge from the first game. Well, what’s that they…
Top 5: Favorite Open-World Games
As much as I enjoyed my first trek through Mass Effect: Andromeda, the game left me a bit soured with regard to open-world games. Surely the feeling is only temporary, but as I search for something to take its place that’s not Borderlands 2 (so fun!), I find myself avoiding anything that resembles an open-world…

77 Hours Later, and Mass Effect: Andromeda is in the Bag
Actually, 77 and one-half to be precise, but who’s counting? Me, that’s who, because I really can’t believe that I spent anywhere near that time in the world of Mass Effect: Andromeda. But there it is, and now it’s time to talk about it. Where to even begin?! There’s so much to unpack here, but…

Red Dead Redemption 2 delayed…and that’s okay
Early last week, Rockstar Games broke the news that this year’s darling Western drama, Red Dead Redemption 2, will be next year’s darling Western drama. Yes, the game has been delayed until Spring 2018. This, in my mind, leads me to think of a possible release in March, but that’s purely a guess. About the…
