Ace Attorney 3 Lives Up To Its Name
When I started Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations some months back, I still had a rather narrow view of the series in mind. Young, earnest attorney meets zany people during zanier trials. Along the way he’s helped by a spirit medium who loves hamburgers, and there’s more finger-pointing than one can point…
Little Nightmares is More Like a Dream Come True
Over the years, I have had an increasingly strong belief that gaming was not quite what it used to be. I was convinced that the “glory days” of the mid-90’s to early 2000’s had come to an end, for one reason or another. I missed old-school platformers like Banjo-Kazooie. I bemoaned the fact that many…
Games I’m Thankful for in 2017
Thanksgiving may be over now, but that doesn’t mean we need to stop thinking about the things we’re thankful for. With Listmas right around the corner now, I couldn’t help but think of a few games from earlier this year that I’m absolutely thankful for. This started out with so much promise and was…

For those who haven’t celebrated Listmas before, it’s something that’s become a tradition here at the Virtual Bastion. In celebration of the holiday season, we dedicate the month of December…
Mass Effect 3 Memories
This month marks Mass Effect’s tenth anniversary! On November 20th, 2007, the game was first released in North America. And what a ride it’s been for fans since then. Join me here as I share some of my memories from each game of the original trilogy. This is the final post of the lot in…
Get Your Camping Gear Ready, ‘Cause Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is Out!
Nintendo’s newest mobile offering, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, is out today and just in time for that long drive to your aunt’s house for Thanksgiving. Pocket Camp puts players in charge of their own campground and gives them free reign to customize it as they see fit. As in past Animal Crossing games, players can…
Final Fantasy XII Has Finally Come to a Close
I started my second playthrough of Final Fantasy XII in early December 2016. Nearly a year later, I have finally completed it (it took so long because I took a lot of breaks, particularly to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild). I am proud to say that I got far closer to…
So…Why is 4K Gaming Such a Big Deal?
The Xbox One X launch has finally arrived, and it seems that the console is a massive success. I wasn’t necessarily expecting it to fail, but I find myself struggling to understand the demand for a console whose major selling point is that it can display games at 4K resolutions. The same goes for the…
