Last year we saw the rise of AI slop in everything from YouTube to TV and even games in some places. It was annoying, certainly, but at the very least the impact still felt minimal. Well, unfortunately for us, it’s looking like the slop is going to keep flowing and to ever greater extents. Triple…

Cary’s 2025 Game of the Year – Herdling
I played a handful of solid new games this year, from romping through the afflicted Living Lands in Avowed, to exploring myths and legends of the American South in South of Midnight, to traveling the stars and then some in The Outer Worlds 2. Before my personal Game of the Year pick came along, any…
Still No News, Let’s Talk Deadzone: Rogue Instead
As we all are painfully aware by now, there are just too many good games coming out these days. Seriously, even those of us who get the press releases can’t keep track of them all. No matter how many trailers you look at or how often you dig through the online stores, tons of great…

There’s No News, So Let’s Talk About Skate Story Instead!
One great thing about the end of the year is that there’s not much news to deal with. Yeah there’s still the ongoing RAM shortage stuff and all, but not a lot of new game or business announcements. We are all, for the most part, collectively chilling, which is something that I really enjoy about…
Listmas 2025: Five Consoles That Felt Like Magic
I’m more or less current with my game equipment and enjoy it all quite a bit, but this time of year has a way of turning my attention towards and the game consoles of yesteryear. I don’t always revisit these the past systems every time December rolls around, but I still think of them and…
Listmas 2025: Top Songs from Games Played This Year
One of the newest additions to my music roster is a playlist of favorite songs from games. It’s something that was a long time coming, too! I listen to gaming soundtracks regularly, but until recently, I had never put together a playlist of individual songs from them that stood out from the rest. It contains…
