Several years ago, when this site was under a different name, I offered a post about that moment when you and a game click. I looked at the subject from two different angles: “love at first play” and building a relationship with a game over time. In either scenario, an assumption remains that said game…

Kingdom Hearts 3: A Critical Review (No Spoilers)
The Kingdom Hearts series is very near and dear to my, well, heart, as it is with countless other people across the Internet. To say that I have fallen in love with it and its characters would be an understatement. Perhaps this sounds contradictory, but I am of the belief that if you really love…

This is a game that never ends…and that’s okay
Fellow blogger simpleek recently posted an interesting and insightful article concerning “infinite” versus finite games. Or, to put it another way, games driven by play, like Fortnight, that don’t have true endings, versus games driven by stories, like Dragon Age, that have definite endings, sequels notwithstanding. As someone who’s recently taken a liking to an…
Fire Emblem: Three Houses Looks Great (Despite the School Setting)
Fire Emblem has seen something of a rebirth over the past several years thanks to the Awakening and Fates games. It’s not quite the hardcore strategy game it once was; perma-death is optional instead of mandatory, players cannot play themselves into a no-win situation, and more emphasis has been put on the characters and their…
Day 20: Favorite Video Game Genre
Okay, so we’re two-thirds of the way through the 30 days’ worth of video game posts. And I still haven’t found a more eloquent way of describing that. Anyway, we’ve got another “what’s your favorite something-or-other” topic to discuss, my favorite game genre. As usual, I find this to be a pretty difficult question indeed…

Just because I won’t be playing these games on Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t
Today is Valentine’s Day. No matter if it’s much-loved or much-maligned in your book, it remains somewhat inescapable, at least as far as the general public is concerned. While some readers might have plans with their significant others that involve, you know, going outside, I’m willing to bet that a handful of couples have co-cop…
Resonance: Galeem
I know I’ve been talking a heck of a lot about Super Smash Bros Ultimate lately, but darn it, it’s a great game! I’ve already written posts about the characters, unforgettable moments in World of Light, and I’ve reviewed Ultimate as well as I possibly could, considering it’s such a massive game. But one thing…
