Galaxy is probably my favorite Mario. I wish that Galaxy 2 had been a little bit better instead of just a slightly harder rehash.

I will continue to play Arkham Knight which being 66% finished with I can say, pretty much rules. It has a lot of that compulsion-based system telling me I need to complete every task while I'm trying very hard to stay focused on one task but for a game with a million different gameplay styles hidden inside (tank…

That poor poor awkward young man. You could tell he was nervous as all get out but he really vocalized it in the worst possible way.

Alto on my iPad is my go to zen-crastination game. Though I've been hearing the siren call of Fallout Shelter as everyone I know who loves mobile gaming is into it. I'm wary though, as I got way too into another similar "WHY-AREN'T-YOU-PLAYING" compulsion simulator last year with Simpsons Tapped Out. I was pretty…

Yeah I tried given Fallen London a try but saw too much of the Freemium design tendencies that kept me from enjoying the premise after about a week. Sunless Sea is the hardest game to reccomend because from a gameplay standard it's terrible and you have to put in a lot of hours in that crappy gameplay before the game…

Keep your finger on the fast forward button for Season 5. I love the hell out of Game of Thrones and even I thought the season was padded to the gills with filler.

It looks like a sort of strange explore-em-up a la Gone Home and the Second Amnesia game. I'm pumped for it, but I have a pretty huge appetite for exploring game environments that feel really well done.

Oh my god, literally everything on that list rules (expect recent Tomb Raider, I found that pretty meh).

I loved Valkyria but hated the ranking system. I understand that for simplicity's sake it was easier to tie your grade to speed than to something subjective like tactical acumen, but it still felt crappy. I always got my As by just ramming my scouts into close range where they would shoot men point blank in the…

If it cheers you up, I'm much worse. I always vote in those game revue's then never bother to participate. I'm like old people in presidential elections!

I bought my ticket to the current gen on Prime Day by nabbing the Arkham Knight, Withcer 3 PS4 bundle so that's my plan for gaming this weekend.

I've been looking for new games to play since beating the last batch of games I was working on (Walking Dead Season 2 and Far Cry 1) and I thought I'd continue the old-gen shooter train with Star Wars Republic Commando but the game hasn't really hooked me yet. It's very corridor-esque and the angle of controlling a…

I played Dark Souls upon release so most of us didn't know that you could run through the game naked, at soul level 1 with a super lightning stick and wreck house, but I can say that I am unashamed of how often I used the drop attack on the Taurus demon. No regrets. I also became overly reliant on the drake sword…

Open World Games are probably one of my favorite genres so I suffer less from anxiety and more from a joyous form of ADHD. Wherein I load up my guy in GTA V, say to myself "I'm gonna cause some carnage at the military base" and on the drive there, I see a bicycle unattended and think "Oh that'd be fun" then while…

I forgot they even promised the Hotline Miami 2 level editor. I recently beat it on Hard and my mouse hovers over it all the time in my steam library, thristing for new tiny pixel-people to brutally murder. So I'm hankering for that level editor now, especially since it should also fix a lot of the window and sight…

Those high expectations you have for X-2 coming off the amazing FFX… you may want to take them down a notch… because it's a pretty blah game.

Towards the end of the game, your honor was causing me an undue amount of stress. Germany was descending upon my lands like a ravenous beast and all you were offering was moral support and guidance. I just wanted to goad you into attacking Germany so bad but all my entreaties to do the right thing fell on deaf ears.…

Well the spectacularly epic Gameological Diplomacy game came to an end this week with a split-draw between the nations of England and Germany while my own Ottoman Empire was just happy to still be alive in the Middle East. While not technically a video game it was one of the most-involved and enjoyable playing…

I grew up with 6 brothers and we all shared one playstation so to stop the near-constant violent "no it's my turn to play!" arguments, my mother devised a system where each of us had a day of the week we were allowed to play the playstation first, for a 30 minute block that was strictly enforced with an egg timer. …

I can see beautiful Witcher 3 screens and all kinds of 60fps footage and yawn, but what really makes me want to upgrade my rig now is silly GTA V mods. I NEED THIS!
