April Fool’s Day may have already come and gone, but that’s not going to stop me from writing a post for this rather silly holiday, and it’s not going to stop me from asking a question. Who is your favorite video game fool? You know, an idiotic character that you can’t help but love. The…

Into the Nexus, I Hardly Knew Thee
I went on a bit of a spending spree around Christmas time. When I was stocking up on supplies for this year’s masquerade, I decided, while I was at it, I might as well buy a whole bunch of Ratchet and Clank figurines. As if that wasn’t enough, I also decided this was a great…
Assassin’s Creed Unity Dead Kings Review – Tomb Raiding
The following post was submitted by GamerCrash. The original can be found here. — Dead Kings wasn’t on my list of things to do. After enjoying my time with Unity (even with its issues), I was ready to move on from the game. The story wrapped up, I felt content on where the journey ended,…
Overlooked: Pointless Giant Things in Ocarina of Time
In this particular series of posts, I like to write about strange things that can often be, well, overlooked by most gamers. Most of the things I write about are useful or, at the very least, mildly interesting. This post is an exception.
Limited Edition: A Siren’s Call
It was actually thanks to a comment posted by Chris Hodges that inspired today’s lovely post (thanks muchly, good sir) when he made mention of the Zelda controller in the background of the image I had chosen for my post about The Last Story. Few images could be found for the game (aside from lots…
The Last Story and the Illusion of Choice
I finally got around to playing The Last Story, a game I had heard good things about from Cary, and it is thanks to her that I decided to pick it up and check it out for myself. I ended up really enjoying the game, but I have often written reviews for games, only for…
Killer Is Dead Review
Image Captured By Predatoure When I think of hack and slash games, one of the first things that I always associate with them is a sense of style. Generally games that are classified into this particular genre of video games are a visual spectacle, juggling enemies in DMC looks amazing, perfecting the dodge mechanic in…
Overlooked: The Red Gems of Illusion of Gaia
One video game I absolutely love, that it seems no one has actually heard of, is “Illusion of Gaia” for the SNES. I adore this game, and it gives me no shortage of distress that it’s not available for download on the new Nintendo consoles. ‘Tis a huge shame. Good thing my SNES still works…….
What Makes a Game a Sequel?
I recently played and beat Chrono Cross, and let me tell you, it was quite a struggle. Due to a leveling up system where you really only level up when you beat a boss or when you fight the first few enemies after a boss, I had lots of frustration trying to defeat enemies that…
The Big Question: What Really is a Video Game?
When we decided on the topic of “defining a video game”, it seemed rather easy at first. If you’re even here reading this, that means you have an interest in the subject, and in this day and age, if someone told me they didn’t know what a video game was, I would be rather shocked….
