Balatro Makes it to Xbox Game Pass, Friends of Jimbo 4 is Here!
Fan of Balatro that I am, I’ll take any chance I can to talk about it. And, well what better opportunity than a simultaneous console launch and free DLC pack? Indeed, as of yesterday, Balatro is available on Xbox (both a la carte and via Game Pass), and its fourth col- laboration card pack has…
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…

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…
Little Kitty, Big City: Comfort Gaming at its Best
As much as I enjoy my big, flashy games with hectic boss fights, fancy weapons, piles of loot, and immersive storylines, sometimes, ya just gotta chill. To a degree, the Ace Attorney games have filled this role in my recent gaming life; however, working through their twisty-turny logic in trying to defend clients is often…

Looking Longingly at PC Gaming
There was a time when I thought consoles were (and would always be) the best way to play. They were so much easier and faster than PCs and I’ve always much preferred a gamepad to keyboard controls. Of course, the years have seen most, if not all, the advantages of console gaming slowly get whittled…
