Over my winter break, I was looking to clear out my backlog a little, and I stumbled across Sackboy: A Big Adventure. It had become free at some point through PS Plus, and as I had heard decent things about it when it was new, I snatched it up…only to have it sit, sit, and…

Looking Longingly at PC Gaming
There was a time when I thought consoles were (and would always be) the best way to play. They were so much easier and faster than PCs and I’ve always much preferred a gamepad to keyboard controls. Of course, the years have seen most, if not all, the advantages of console gaming slowly get whittled…
Stellar Blade is Getting Three Graphics Modes
Even though the denizens of Twitter/X have done their utmost to drum up controversy around it, Stellar Blade is still poised to be one of the PS5’s more major releases this year. Everything shown of it up to this point has made th game look like it’ll be an awesome action thrill ride, and now…
Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks in Street Fighter 6’s World Tour
If a time traveler were to have appeared in my living room circa 1993 as I was gleefully mashing my way through Street Fighter II Turbo and told me that, in 30 years, I’d get to create and customize my very own fighter and play in a world crafted around Street Fighter lore…I…I don’t know…
So Sony is Bringing Back the Wii U Now?
There were quite a few announcements at the recent PlayStation Summer Games Showcase. Some were awesome like the reveal of Dragon’s Dogma II, and some, like the announcement of Phantom Blade 0 were just kind of there. Then there’s Sony’s “Project Q,” which just seems baffling. At first glance, it looks like Sony’s answer to…
More Games Need a “Pet the Dog” Feature
It can be funny how much of an impression fairly small features can make. They usually aren’t enough to elevate a good game into something great or a bad game into something good. Nor is their absence enough to really hurt an experience. Still, they can make a enough of a difference that they leave…
Playing to Get Better
As much as I’ve enjoyed games over the course of my life, I don’t think I’ve ever considered myself a “hardcore” gamer. They’re fun, and sometimes it’s fun to do everything or try to get a little better at something like Halo multiplayer. It’s also nice to talk about games like this too. Is that…
Deathloop First Impressions
Fact is, I should have played Deathloop when I first picked up the game last year. It was right around the Christmas holiday, when I had a nice chunk of time off. And had I known, or rather, paid attention to what the game offered, I might have more strongly opted to play it then….
Stray – A Spoiler-Free Review
In 2020, my cat passed away after what we hope was an enjoyable nineteen years with us. We all know 2020 was a bad year; this made it personally one of the worst in recent memory. I thought I had come to terms with his loss over the past two years, but about five minutes…
This is Not a Post about Bloodborne
Let me be clear from the start – I may have played Bloodborne, but I did not play Bloodborne. Let me explain. What happened was that, a couple weekends ago, I had a moment after watching a number of Elden Ring videos in which I thought I could totally do that. I really don’t know…
