Having recently immersed myself in Ori and the Blind Forest, it’s reminded me of how much I enjoy (and occasionally despise but still enjoy) metroidvania games.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Top 4 Toughest Levels
I’ve made it through the second Crash Bandicoot game on the N. Sane Trilogy (and published the episodes on Youtube…). And seeing as this was yet another challenging platformer, it seemed fitting to create another list of the game’s most aggravating levels. As difficult as the first game was, I think getting 100% in Crash…

Jumping into Nothing: A Breath of the Wild story
This post contains location spoilers from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s nearing bedtime, and before my eyes get too heavy, I settle in for a short session with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I don’t have a set goal in mind, rather, the last time I played Link…
Day 19: A Game Setting You Wished You Lived In
At this point, my 30-day video game topic challenge has taken me far beyond 30 days, but I’m still plodding along. Today’s topic asks which game setting I would like to live in.

While more is sometimes merrier, we’ve been keeping things simple by focusing on platformers old(ish) and new(ish), in this case, Crash Bandicoot: Warped (or Crash 3) and Ori and the Blind Forest….
Are We All Ready for Uncharted: The Movie?
Earlier this week, writer and director Allen Ungar released a short, live action (and non-monetized) film based on highly popular Uncharted video game series. Naturally, the film is titled “Uncharted.” Fans of the games will immediately recognize our hero Drake (Nathan Fillion), his mentor/look-out Sully (Stephen Lang), and, if briefly, Drake’s plus-one, Elena (Mircea Monroe)….
Crash Bandicoot: Top 5 Toughest Levels
One of many series to which the Duck was quite a latecomer was Crash Bandicoot. Being very determined to catch up on as many classic series as possible, I was able to finally play this delightful PS1 platformer thanks to the release of the N. Sane Trilogy on the PlayStation 4 (click here to watch…

Special and Collector’s Editions: What Makes You Want to Upgrade?
Last month Rockstar Games announced its special and ultimate editions of Red Dead Redemption 2. If spending your standard sixty dollars on the regular game isn’t enough, for eighty bucks you can get the special edition that includes a side mission that’s not in the regular game (and one that’s not integral to its story,…
