Now that Kirby and the Forgotten Land is just over a year old, I thought it would be fun to revisit my top five favorite stages from Kirby’s first true 3D outing! Many of my choices on this list are undoubtedly inspired by my love of a rather surprising theme that is quite prevalent throughout…

Top 5: The Grind to Unwind
When it comes to most games that don’t involve action sports, “grind” is typically a bad word. It means that players will have to spend hours upon hours slogging away at routine tasks and combat to obtain necessary (and sometimes unnecessary) levels and gear to progress. It can also be applied to the act of…
Top 5: Sounds that Satisfy
In returning to play a spot of co-op in Fable III, I was reminded that though that game possesses some heavy flaws, its sounds remain top notch. The series’ soundtracks are among my most favorite of any game soundtracks, and it has some excellent sound effects, too. Even better is that many of the games’…
Top 5: Things I’m Loving in the “New” Mass Effect
Even though it felt like I had a pretty full gaming plate at the time Mass Effect Legendary Edition released, of course I had to dive in as soon as decent window of opportunity presented itself. I’m about two-thirds of the way through the “legendary” version of ME1 with my renegade engineer Lynn Shepard, and…
Top 5 Best and Top 5 Hardest Levels from Crash 4
Crash Bandicoot 4, which I reviewed here, is easily one of the best games from the franchise, with the interdimensional time-travelling allowing for a really great variety of stages that are as beautifully detailed as they are fun to navigate. To begin, I’m going to be talking about my top 5 favorite stages from the…
Listmas 2020: Horsing Around in The Witcher 3
If you’re a fan of The Witcher, you know Roach, Geralt’s trusty steed (or steeds, as he names all of his horses “Roach”). As I’m knee-deep in The Witcher 3 now, I’ve come to know its version of Roach quite well. Or, well enough to feel like my bad luck with mounts in games (unless…
Listmas 2020: Cary’s Favorite Comedic Moments
Happy Listmas, one and all! It’s that awesome time of year where we take a break from serious fare to share our gaming thoughts and feelings through the joy of lists. (And you know we love a good list!) And of the lists, ever, anywhere, this week’s Listmas topic is bound to the silliest of…
Top 5: Personal Last-Gen Memories
With this week’s heralded releases of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, it would seem that we can once again make the switch from calling the “next generation” of consoles to the “current generation.” Of course, I have no plans to suddenly ditch anything “last generation,” and neither do many of you, I’m sure….
Top 5: Memorable Real-Life Locations in Games
Although I’ve been enjoying The Talos Principle, I find that when I start playing puzzle games, I often need to to have another, less cerebral game going at the same time. Recently, I found the perfect such candidate in Marvel’s Spider-Man. I’m still finding my footing with this game, but its high-action pacing and web-slinging…
Top 5: Games Lowest On My Replay List
You may be wondering, how can one formulate a TOP 5 list when that list would appear to highlight things at the BOTTOM of said list? Well, just because something isn’t at the top of a list, it doesn’t mean it’s not worth celebrating, right? Hmm. Lest you think that I don’t understand how lists…
VIRTUAL BASTION
