Resident Evil—the original PlayStation game—came out when I was eight years old (1996). It was hard enough to convince my mother to let me play a T-rated game at the time, so there was no chance in hell I would be playing this game any time soon. I once snuck Turok for the N64 past her viaContinue reading “Resident Evil: A New Resident In My Heart”

The Sinking City Treads Water in a Choppy Sea
When a friend of mine shared the cinematic trailer for Frogwares’ The Sinking City on Facebook sometime in the summer or fall of 2018, I was instantly hooked. The game had a nice, eerie sheen to it, one that Lovecraft flirted with often but attained only sometimes (in my experience; I’ve only read about half of hisContinue reading “The Sinking City Treads Water in a Choppy Sea”
Red Dead Redemptions
At the start of this whole quarantine business, my wife was eagerly anticipating the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I, too, eagerly waited for Doom Eternal. March 20, 2020, turned out to be the most perfectly hilarious crossover game release date. I had one problem: My PC specs are too low at present to play the newest iterationContinue reading “Red Dead Redemptions”
Starlink: Battle for Atlas: A Fantastic Game With A Huge Flaw
Starlink: Battle for Atlas is an open-world action-adventure game set in the distant star system of Atlas.

A Good Game About The Great War
Valiant Hearts: The Great War is a side scrolling puzzle game set during World War I. It follows four main characters—Karl, Emile, Freddie, and Anna— and a dog named Walt as their lives intersect across the Western Front. The comic book art style presents a level of whimsy between the audience and the very somber subjectContinue reading “A Good Game About The Great War”
My Little Life in Stardew Valley: A Review
Seeing Stardew Valley pop up in my suggested games lists over the years, I wasn’t ever sure if I would take the leap and buy it. I found myself regretting one of my last purchases (see my last review about Hello Neighbor) while one of my friends’ comments about this game played through my mind.Continue reading “My Little Life in Stardew Valley: A Review”
It’s A Dismal Day in the Neighborhood: A review of Hello Neighbor
After my last review, I went prowling for sales, hoping to find a new game to play at an affordable price. Enter Hello Neighbor on the Nintendo Switch eStore! I had wanted to play this game since my first encounter with its promotional images a couple years ago. It presented a quaint, cartoony aesthetic butContinue reading “It’s A Dismal Day in the Neighborhood: A review of Hello Neighbor”
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Jedi: Fallen Order has gained a reputation of being Dark Souls light, a statement I can’t corroborate—having yet to play Dark Souls (I’ll get there)—but do not doubt. I did, at times, get dangerously close to controller-smashing levels of frustration, but those moments were thankfully rare. For those of you who are familiar, the RabidContinue reading “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order”
