Spirited Away by the Spirit of Justice

At long last, Apollo Justice’s story has come to an end! More than a year after I began the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, I’ve finally seen the trilogy through to the end of its third game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. And my oh my, what a whirlwind tour of a…

Games Leaving Game Pass in March 2025

We’ve once again reached the start of a new month, and that means more games getting rotated in and out of the various console subscription services. This month, Xbox’s Game Pass service is seeing eight more games depart, some more notable than others. Fans will still be able to get them a la carte, but…

[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…

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…
