Fair warning, this post is going to contain with SPOILERS, so tread as you wish. That said… …the first one is to be prepared for a loooooong ending to Avowed. What happened was far from whatever I might have been expecting, and that was okay. I won’t lie and say that my eyes didn’t glaze…

Where ‘Retro’ Ends and ‘Classic’ Begins
Now that we’re squarely in the midst of 2025, it’s really been hitting how many of my favorite games from my student days now fall in the “retro” category of games. Where the likes of the GameCube and PS2 were once the new hotness, they’re now practically fossils. Heck, the younger member of the gaming…
Avowed: A First Impressions Story
In a recent session with Avowed (I’m about sixteen hours in), there came a point in one of the main story quests that I thought I had made a huge mistake. Though I thought I had properly followed the game’s tips on leveling my both my character and her gear, I reached a region where,…

Dragon Age: The Veilguard – Success and Struggle
At the time of writing my Dragon Age: The Veilguard first impressions post, I claimed having a solid and mostly positive start. While it was plain to see BioWare’s work in weaving Veilguard into the Dragon Age series, it was difficult for me to detach from the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition – Trespasser. Because…

Xbox ‘Avowed’ Announcement Sparks New Physical Media Debate
Recently, Microsoft announced several editions for Avowed, the newest game being made by Obsidian. While they all had goodies that people are sure to like, none actually included the game on an actual disc, and that’s got fans of physical media upset. Truly, it looks like Microsoft has given up on physical media altogether, and…
Xbox Series X|S is Apparently Trailing Xbox 360 in Sales
Xbox has been in kind of a weird place ever since the days of the Xbox 360 came to a close. Despite being the undisputed king of the console market for the entire lifespan of the Xbox 360, Microsoft was never really able to to keep the momentum going thanks to one debacle or another….
Favorite Summer Game Fest (and More) Reveals
At some point soon, we’ll all (or just me, at least) will stop calling Game Fest “not E3,” but until then…this past weekend was, indeed, not E3. It was the Summer Game Fest, plus Sony’s own State of Play, that brought forth a slew of gaming content, known and unknown, that players will see this…
