Hey again all! Staying cool, I hope! Today we’re taking a look back at Halo 3 and the sorts of moments its wonderfully varied playlists enabled. Seriously, how is it that we’re now 15+ years out from this and we’re still looking back on how good the old stuff was? I dunno about you, but…

Fable III Co-Op: Better Late Than Never?
With a some extra time on our hands over the recent holiday weekend, my household dug a little further into some multiplayer options through Game Pass. We steered clear of MMOs and looked for local multiplayer and co-op options. In doing so, a huge surprise rose to the top: Fable III. “Wait, WHAT?” was my…
Who in their right mind starts playing a “dead” game?
After having a so-so time playing DC Universe Online, my search for easy-going, console-based multiplayer/MMORPG ventures continued. I had made a short list of possibilities, and after a quick round of eenie, meenie, miny, moe, I ended up at another decades-old game, TERA. I knew nothing about the game save for the fact that I…
Low-Level Multiplayer is the Best
A while back, I started playing the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, and I’ve learned quiet a bit about it in the year or so that’s passed since then. First, I’ve learned that just about any trading card game is going to be expensive to participate in. It’s amazing just how much money it takes to put…
It Takes Two is an Incredible Game, and I Never Want to Play it Again
Though both my husband and I are lifelong gamers, we’re only a few years into our own “co-op mode” renaissance. Before just a few years ago, the vast majority of our “together” time playing games was spent playing very separate games. With the exception of fighting games, we learned long ago that we weren’t compatible…
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan’s Shared Story Mode Goes Further Than Expected
Supermassive Games is really swinging for the fences with their next branching-narrative horror game: The Dark Pictures Anthology – Man of Medan. It has everything that fans of Until Dawn enjoyed, but massively expanded and with a shared story experienced deftly woven throughout. Multiplayer may sound like an odd choice for this kind of game,…
Just because I won’t be playing these games on Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t
Today is Valentine’s Day. No matter if it’s much-loved or much-maligned in your book, it remains somewhat inescapable, at least as far as the general public is concerned. While some readers might have plans with their significant others that involve, you know, going outside, I’m willing to bet that a handful of couples have co-cop…
Overwatch Adding New “Hero 27” Soon
It seems things are progressing quite smoothly in the development of Overwatch’s soon-to-be newest additions: the currently unnamed “Hero 27.” In an interview released last Friday, Jeff Kaplan talked at length about the Overwatch team’s hero development process. He took time to discuss how internal testing worked, how they decide when a hero is ready…
Tricks, Treats, and Feats – The Golden Age of Halo 3 Rocket Race
I’ve talked about Halo 3 quite a bit over the years. What can I say? It’s my all-time favorite online multiplayer game. It’s over 10 years old now, but it offered its players more depth of play than any of today’s big multiplayer titles. It had several playlists for its competitive and casual fans to…
Who Knew Mixing Puzzle Games Could Be So Much Fun?
What would you expect to get when mixing two different puzzle games together? Chaos? An exercise in sheer and utter frustration? A really good excuse to break a controller? How about one of the most surprisingly entertaining party games to come out in the last couple of years? Believe it or not, Puyo Puyo Tetris…
