Viewfinder is One Terrific, Trippy Trip

In my post about Keeper, I made mention of my 2026 resolution to play new games on Sundays. This intention actually goes back to last summer, when I resolved to start clearing out my backlog, at least a little. With a glut of too many games to play over the holidays, I returned to this…

Epic CEO Calls Out Steam…Again

Okay, so this isn’t important news, but I thought it was kind of funny, so here we are. Steam has been around for a very long time now, and it’s pretty much been the king of video game distribution on PC for most of that time. It’s not perfect, but it is, even to this…

When Double Fine’s Keeper was first revealed during last summer’s Xbox Games Showcase, it made quite an impact. Or so it seemed around me.

The Outer Worlds 2: Rifts, Whiffs, and Friendships

In my first impressions post for The Outer Worlds 2, I asked the all-important question: is the game more than just a pretty face? Now that I’ve completed the game after some 50(ish) hours of traipsing about its Arcadia system, I can safely say that it is. The end. Alright, maybe not. But here’s the…

Triple A Gaming is Heading for a Crash

I’ve already touched on this topic several times over the past year or so, but my mind just keeps coming back to it. The ballooning prices, the insane budgets, the ever-more predatory monetization schemes, lazy design, bad writing and altogether way too lengthy development cycles…it all just has me thinking that there’s no way that…
