Dishonored 2 Review

It was as I beat Dishonored 2 that the full weight of how similar this games storyline is to the previous game hit me. As the final target was taken care of, I was left with a thought that hadn’t really coalesced until this point...

 
 
 

Dishonored Re-Review

Dishonored first released 4 years ago, in 2012, and was one of the first games I ever wrote a blog review of! It was a terrible blog, as my skillz were not yet at the level they are now and its a pretty rough thing so I decided to do a...

 
 
 

Dishonored DLC Review

Dishonored was a game I really enjoyed when it came out in 2012-a stealth using game with a lot of aesthetic style and a pretty enjoyable set up for play. With the sequel coming out at the end of the week, I figured it was time to div...

 
 
 

Witcher 3 DLC Review

While I have not yet gotten around to writing a Witcher 3 review-its a daunting task indeed, but one that I might someday meet-I figure tackling the DLC will be a bit easier, and somewhat timely given the complete edition of that ...

 
 
 

World Building: Under the sea!

Bioshock was a game released in 2007, with a sequel coming out in 2010 made by different people and a spin off…thing in 2013. With a remake on its way in September, and a bloggers wanted prompt here to feed on like a hungry myx...

 
 
 
 
 

Fallout 4: Bethesdecay

Sigh Fallout 3 is my favorite game of all time, as demonstrated by my numerous writings on the subject. After being disappointed with Fallout New Vegas’s lackluster world and missions, I was pumped for Fallout 4 to come out and ...

 
 
 

REview of REMake: A horror classic

Resident Evil is a long and storied franchise in the Capcom line-up, which Capcom has been doing its damndest in recent years to make into a big action franchise despite the fact it was originally a horror series. And while RE4 was mo...

 
 
 

Eh, F*ck it: Wasteland 2: DC review

Normally I try to do a blog once a month and follow the bloggers wanted prompt, but after writing up near 1000 words I wasn’t feeling good about my blog-so Imma do a review or two instead, maybe make a bit of a series out of rev...

 
 
 

Initiation station: Fallout games!

Fallout games have a long tradition of making a character, picking skills and abilities, and then setting out only to find out that in the older games of the series, the best character has more than a few points in the killing things ...

 
 
 
 
 
 

The PlayStation Vita: Twice as Bright

This blog has been a looooong time coming, which should be unsurprising for anyone who sees me constantly whine about the Vita whenever the opportunity to do so presents itself-like in any article where something Sony and Vita relate...

 
 
 

A Maniacs Anticipated games of 2016

Now that 2015 lies dead at the feat of the year 2016, howling with triumph over last year, its time to look forward to the games that will be coming out this year, and hope that they aren’t massive disappointments. Especially now that we�...

 
 
 

White Whale: Whale pile

My first idea for what would be my white whale was Morrowind. Unfortunately past me, being the asshole he is, decided to cover pretty in-depth my journey from the games breakage on Xbox to its eventual completion on PC in good detail. So ...

Ah Christmas, a time when people devolve into animals bent on mindlessly consuming at the expense of their fellow shoppers, the weather outside makes you seriously consider not moving until the sun and green comes back, and the sam...

 
 
 

Thankful it's Over: Bioshock Infinite

My disdain for Bioshock Infinite is well documented and is something I have maintained as time has gone on. It was a game that won critical acclaim and praise, but to me it was a game that became a dull slog by the end. Thus, I will now rev...

 
 
 

​System Shock 2 Review: Best of three

My first experience with the shock series was the titular Bioshock, a game that captured my imagination and whose aesthetic I still love. It had some eerie moments, an almost unmatched opening sequence, and fun/horrific gameplay elements. M...

 
 
 

Freedom wars difficulty

Freedom wars is one of the most frustrating games I have ever played. I don’t think there’s a game I have ever played that I have simultaneously hated/enjoyed more than this one, and it’s a topic I’ve been pondering for a while now....

 
 
 

They call me spooky: Dead Space (franchise)

Alright, let’s preface this delving into by talking about whether or not Dead Space-or by extension Dead Space 2 and 3-are the scariest games I have ever played. The answer is no, that honor belongs to outlast, but I like the aesthetic a ...

 
 

Re: I just finished watching Mad Max: Fury Road and... HOLY. SHIT. HOOOOOLY SHIT... I got nothing else to say, I fucking liked it! :D

 
 
 

Shadow of Mordor: Greasy Popcorn

I recently finally got around to playing Shadow Of Mordor on a friends computer after hearing about how well liked it was. I found it compelling, and I proceeded to burn through it pretty quickly from meh start to disappointing end. How is...

Shovel Knight Review: Strike the Earth!

Reviewed on Vita, also known as the best system. Cause Vita ain’t never gonna stop, never going to be kept held dowwwn. Ahem. To the set up, then? What is Shovel Knight? Well, it was a Kickstarter campaign put forward on March 14, 2...

 
 
 

Better with age: Morrowind

Yeah, this is going to be a hard sell to some people who haven’t played this one, I’m sure. Morrowind is the 3rd game in the venerable elder scrolls franchise, and one that has remained in people’s minds for years after it...

Who am I? I'm an avid gamer, beer snob, coffee snob and aspiring microbiologist. I love all sorts of different genres of games and different games from different years and as of recent years I've tried to get more into multiplayer games. I also really love microbiology and if you get me started on it, you will never get me to shut up about it.
