If you’ve been playing games for a while, then you’ve likely noticed how many games wind up feeling the same. Gaming has been this way for decades now, with the majority of releases chasing the latest trends. In the 00’s it was all about military shooters. In the 10’s, battle-royale, souls-likes and open worlds came…

Silly Scoundrels: Dr. Ivo ‘Eggman’ Robotnik
Dr. Robotnik is a baddie hailing all the way back to the era of Sega Genesis vs. Super Nintendo. It’s kind amazing how committed both companies were to their rivalry, with Nintendo boastful “now you’re playing with power” ad line and Sega’s overt “Genesis does what Nintendon’t” tag line. These two giants were out to…

Silly Scoundrels: Bob the Killer Goldfish
When it comes to water-based wildlife, there are plenty of dangerous creatures from which to choose. Sharks jump first to mind, though some can be meaner than others. Jellyfish, while mesmerizing to a degree, should almost always be avoided. And it’s generally best to clear out of the paths of stingrays. Way, way, way down…
Kingdom Hearts IV is Coming
This news will be a few days old by now, but I really wanted to talk about it a bit. So to get started, Kingdom Hearts is not, in fact, finished. It’s still going and it’s following in the footsteps of Final Fantasy XV now. That is, it’s going to look a bit more realistic….
Silly Scoundrels: Dr. Neo Cortex
Of all the goofy villains that came to mind when thinking on this topic, Dr. Neo Cortex is perhaps the most unfortunate of the lot. He’s supposedly very intelligent. I mean, he was able to create all sorts of crazy technology that should have enabled him to achieve his goals. Yet, he’s never managed to…

Silly Scoundrels: Conroy Bumpus
In the vast compendium of video game villains, some stand heads and shoulders above their competition. Unfortunately, this a problem for my first pick of the “Silly Scoundrels” lot, because, well, he’s rather…short: Mr. Conroy Bumpus. At first glance, Bumpus, the main antagonist of Sam & Max Hit the Road, may not appear all that…
Comparison Screens Released for Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers
Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is coming out in a few days, and now fans can finally compare the visuals of the old and new versions. The differences aren’t as stark as they are in some other remasters, but I think it looks decent enough.
Silly Scoundrels: Mz. Ruby
Hey all, it’s time to kick-off our month of Silly Scoundrels! As Cary explained earlier this week, we’ll be spending this first real month of spring talking about some of our favorite, more comedically-inclined villains. There are plenty of series with goofy baddies, and I the first one to cross my mind was the Sly…
