Listmas: Places I’d like to Visit for Christmas

During Listmases past, I’m pretty sure I’ve touched on the games that were either the most Christmas-y of had the best winter levels. There’s absolutely Something to be said for overall atmosphere and feel, but those don’t necessarily make for a place that’d be fun to visit. So, what would be a fun place to…

Top 5: My “Deserted Island” First-Person Games

For this “deserted island” list, I strongly debated with myself as to whether or not to distinguish between first-person shooters and first-person games. Only then I remembered that I’ve hardly played any FPS’s, strictly speaking, so I opened up the floor to games that only feature the first-person viewpoint, whether or not shooting at things…

Because some time this year, Fallout 76’s newest expansion, The Pitt, is supposed to be released. It’s supposed to…

Metroid Dread: A Game 19 Years in the Making

As usual, Nintendo had a very strong showing at E3 2021. In fact, I’d argue that theirs was the best out of everyone who presented. Not only did they bring the games, they brought games that we’ll actually get to play relatively soon; no waiting for years and years to get our hands on these!…

The Metroid Prime 4 Wishlist

You know, it’s kind of tough being a Metroid fan. Unlike Nintendo’s other major franchises, Metroid hardly ever gets any attention anymore. I mean, there hasn’t been a proper Metroid game at all since Metroid: Samus Returns on the 3DS. That was 4 years ago now. There hasn’t been a console Metroid game since Metroid:…
