Yoshi’s Island is a charming game from the SNES era that I didn’t get the pleasure of playing until not too terribly long ago. The game’s crayon-like art style and general adorableness pairs well with upbeat music, the likes of which have been stuck in my head thanks to Super Smash Bros long before I…

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.

Resonance: The Abyss
One of my all-time favorite video game series has always been Rayman. The games are seriously some of the most creative and unique out there, from the lush and intricately detailed locations, bizarre creatures, and amazing soundtrack. I have actually already discussed the series’ soundtrack twice before (you can find the links at the bottom…

The More I See of Cyberpunk 2077, the More I Want to Play The Witcher 3
My history with The Witcher games goes about as deep as a sauce pan. Via Steam, I put a sizeable handful of hours into both the first and second games combined, and both failed to capture my attention. And, according to the Internet, I must have done something wrong, because The Witcher games are, as…
