I’m not sure if I can really call myself a Nintendo fan at the moment. The me of the past was certainly a Nintendo fan, and I still love all of my Nintendo games. My opinion of the company is a little different though; deteriorating further and further with each passing year until they became a…

Unforgettable: The Lemon Rant from Portal 2
I don’t write posts for the Unforgettable series very often because it is rather important that whatever topic I choose be very special indeed. It has to be more than just a cool boss fight or a humorous line of dialogue. It has to be, well, as the title suggests, utterly unforgettable. It has to…
The Will, the Way: Assassin’s Creed II
If you happened to have caught my post last month concerning rage-quitting and Assassin’s Creed, you might think that I’d never want to see hair nor hide of the series ever again. In theory, the Assassin’s Creed games and I should have gotten along much better. They had rich stories, semi-open worlds to explore, decently…
FFV and the Joy of Feeling Competent
I have mentioned it from time to time, but over the last few years, I’ve been trying to catch up on a whole bunch of retro games I had missed. And at this point, I’m largely done. Sure, there are definitely more retro games out there that I should play one day, but as for…
Uncharted, We Meet Again
Sometimes, it feels as if certain games come to exist in my house thanks to pure fate. Most of my games I seek out myself, but Uncharted is one series I never once put my mind to acquiring, and yet, here I stand the owner of not one, but two, entries from the series. The…
Listmas 2016: Eight of the Chilliest Songs in Gaming
With Listmas taking place in the chilly grip of wintertime, it’s only natural that some of our lists reflect this icy time of year. We’ve already covered snowy levels and chilly characters in past years, so it’s high time we discussed eight chilly songs that will surely have you buttoning up your coats and seeking…
Listmas 2016: Top 6 Locations in Sly Cooper
It was this past year that I finally got around to playing all four games of the Sly Cooper series, a series I fell in love with, in fact, within the first hour. The whole stealth gameplay was very new to me, and I also greatly enjoyed the characters. One other area where this game…
Listmas 2016: An Ode to Sidekicks
In this season of giving and good will towards all, it would only be fair for at least one Listmas list to give some attention to the oft under-appreciated sidekicks of gaming. It can be easy for said sidekicks to get lost within the shadow of the more famed hero of the game, but that…
Skylar & Plux: Another 3D Platformer is Coming
It sometimes feels as if traditional 3D platformers are a thing of the past. Rareware hasn’t made a true Banjo-Kazooie game since 2000. Naughty Dog has given up Jak & Daxter in favor of Uncharted, while Sly Cooper has more or less ended (it all depends on Sanzaru now…) to make way for Sucker Punch’s…
Day 13: A Game I’ve Played More Than Five Times
Ah, back to the 30-day video game topics. Despite the obvious implication that this is only supposed to span the course of roughly a month, these posts have been taking me years to get through. Well, better get back to it. Right now, we’re only on day 13. The topic: a game I’ve played more…
