After playing the demo for Final Fantasy VII Remake, I figured I had a pretty good idea of what I was in for. In some ways, I was correct. The released game’s battle system is the same, unexpectedly-satisfying fusion of action and the classic ATB system. It’s also continuing to take opportunities to expand on…

The Sims 4, or, What the Heck am I Doing and Why am I Doing it
As proof that the universe works in mysterious ways, I have made the potentially questionable choice to dive into some personally uncharted gaming waters and play…a Sims game. The Sims 4, to be exact, and not just because it was a free PS Plus game last month. But…okay, mostly because of that, but for another…
The Road to Resistance is Paved with Good Intentions in The Outer Worlds
I must admit that I had pretty high hopes for The Outer Worlds when I started playing it late last October. I mostly ignored whatever the big gaming sites had to say about it, preferring, instead, to read the blogosphere’s judgement. Which was roundly positive. Well, mostly. In the midst of reading, I penned a…

Trophies: My Final (Late) Gripe of 2018
The year of 2018 was a decent year for gaming, and 2019 is looking like it’ll be even better. After spending this last month talking about all the good things we’ve seen this year and all the great stuff coming next year, I figured now would be the best time to finally talk about something…
Castlevania Classics Coming to the PlayStation 4
On October 26th, PlayStation 4 owners who may have been craving a classic Castlevania experience will be treated to not one but two famous Castlevania games from the SNES and PS1 eras in Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood. The two games, which follow closely in terms of their story lines,…
Playing through all the Uncharted games at once seemed like a good idea at the time, but…
…it turned out to be an AWESOME idea! Okay, almost awesome. I shall explain. With a PS4 becoming part of my console heard this year, I made it a personal goal to finally play Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. (For an excellent rundown of its story, see The Duck’s post here.) But I felt that…
