Tricks, Treats, and Feats: Yooka-Laylee’s Crystal Skulls
When we used to go trick-or-treating as kids, there was always a surprising element to what kind of candy each house would offer. Whether good or bad, the surprise was always there, and in a way, sometimes video games offer us a similar experience in the form of secret items we had no idea to…
Tricks, Treats and Feats: Beating Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts
I feel like Kingdom Hearts is a game of moments. Singular, emotional moments that carry its players through its story and then stick with them long after the game is over.

Zelda-Ween: Top 3 Creepy Dungeons
Last week, we discussed the many spooky enemies that reside in the land of Hyrule (or Termina, as the case may be). Well, oftentimes, creepy creatures live in creepy places, and when you think of scary locations in the Zelda series, more often than not you think of the dungeons these games are known for. …
Ocarina’s Other Scary Temple
What place immediately comes to mind when you hear the phrase “creepy Zelda dungeon”? It’s the Shadow Temple from Ocarina of Time isn’t it? Its image probably jumped into your head before you even finished reading that phrase. It should. The Shadow Temple was designed to be the most chilling experience of the entire game,…
