Another awesome one, Strummer...uh, Matt. Whatever.

Hyper Light Drifter dazzles with tight gameplay but ultimately feels inconsequential. In this review, I show how one of its influences, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, uses plot structure to overcome this issue.

Gaming’s culture war hasn’t ended. It’s still roiling, with new fights, new targets, new depths of ugliness, but also many of the same tactics.

Crazy like a FOX.....or is that XOF?

This was FUCKING AMAZING. I’m a sucky works with my hands moron, I couldn’t make all of this fit together like you did. SO sick of the “Hurr Durrr War On terror” I just couldn’t make people understand who mad all of it happen.

Sadly, even though I haven’t stopped playing it after I picked it up, MGS5 will always feel incomplete simply because Konami interfered too much.
Which is a shame, because I was really looking forward to the next game: Venom vs Big Boss i.e. MG1

Your summary of the Sons of Iraq, formally known as CLC (Concerned Local Citizens as a nickname) is way off the mark.

Ughhhh. I cannot stand Generation Kill, the series or the novel. Like Jarhead, its a bunch of Marines patting themselves on the back for a job well done and the reality is they really didn’t do anything.

I really like how he explained the game’s backdrop and where it fits into history, and I like his analysis of the characters. But to argue that the climax was totally unsatisfying and the second half of the game is completely missing ... on purpose. Like it’s some kind of hidden commentary about the players really…

Is Metal Gear Solid V incomplete or is Hideo Kojima just crazy?

Yooo I watched the whole damn thing. Didn’t skip any. SO good. I love stuff about the bigger implications of MGS and I think there is a big community for this kind of stuff.

I wrote about Nature VS Nurture as told by the MGS 1 and 2 and that sparked a lot of great conversations. However, your piece is so great because…

Is Metal Gear Solid V incomplete or is Hideo Kojima just crazy? I’ll assume the latter and dance at the edge of sanity deciphering the Phantom Pain’s narrative via the Cold War and its residual effects on modern history. Full spoilers for the Metal Gear series.

Fantastic advice all-round, I think... and Gold 4 is certainly high enough that I’m not going to discredit your advice. :P

Honestly I think that are just trolls. One the other hand... yeah the world is full of nutjobs and with the Internet they have a audience.

An examination of Her Story and how its gameplay mechanic and narrative parody the media frenzy around criminal court cases. Full spoilers for Her Story and Sunset Blvd.

Pixel hunts, cryptic puzzles, dead end levels. Adventure games can fail for many reasons, but when they hit — like in the case of Wadjet Eye’s Technobabylon — they can give a feeling of infinite possibility.
