Sony’s Actually Trying to Clean Up the PS Store

With all the bad news coming out of the AAA sector of games, I thought it’d be nice to talk about something positive for the change. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, no matter what store you’re on, be it Steam, Xbox, Nintendo’s eShop or the PS Store, you can’t just casually browse what’s available. Well,…

Crimson Desert is Neither the Best Game Ever Nor the Worst

I touched on this topic once already in my post about the discourse surrounding Marathon recently, but I couldn’t help be revisit it after seeing how people have been talking about Crimson Desert. As far as I can tell, there’s no reason for discussion about this game be anything but civil. In fact, I’d say…

Sony Likely Won’t Have a PC Launcher (Thankfully)

Between Sony’s decision to rebrand PlayStation Network (PSN) into, uh, something else later this year and the statements its been making regarding PC as a platform, there hasn’t been a lot for fans to celebrate this year.

By all accounts, it’s a short, shallow, thrown-together buggy mess of a game that doesn’t even come close to the same galaxy as the game…

What Games Are You Getting This Summer?

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself buying fewer and fewer games at launch. There’s a few reasons for this, price being the biggest but also things like poor launch performance and DLC. Seriously, launch is probably the worst time to buy games, especially those from AAA studios. So, I usually wait. Sometimes months, sometimes…

Taking a “Modern” Approach in Street Fighter 6’s World Tour

Since completing Street Fighter 6’s World Tour story almost two years ago, and over the course of revisiting the game when new characters have been released, a singular thought has been percolating: Could I play and enjoy this game using its new “modern” control scheme? The “and enjoy” part is key, because there were moments…

Top 5: My “Deserted Island” Fighting Games

I know what you’re thinking…what’s the use of having fighting games on a deserted island when you’d have no one with whom to play?? It’s a valid question. I suppose the answer lies in the fact that while I personally don’t enjoy being overly challenged in games generally, I don’t mind the working through challenges…
