E3 is right around the corner, which means the inevitable avalanche of leaks, rumors, whispers, predictions, hopes, and dreams is coming out of the woodwork as well. For some this serves as little more than a yearly annoyance where fa...

  A nice steak and a glass of fine bourbon. A glass of white wine and salmon. Peanut butter and jelly. Perfect pairings have been a part of our lives since we could develop the concept of good taste. Beyond the food, world entert...

All good things in moderation I tell myself whenever I order take-out food, enjoy a nice glass of whiskey, or in this case dive into the world of mobile gaming. Is it a weird thing to compare these three? I don't think so, as this is c...

For all the bemoaning about VR being underpowered and underused, it's something that has caught my eye multiple times. While I'm still far from making my own purchase on a headset, the amount of arcade FPS titles like Robo Recall, Sup...

    Have you ever felt out of the loop among others in your group? Not exactly like an outcast that no one talks to at the lunch table, but rather you feel like you're not quite seeing the importance of what they feel is imp...

It's that time of year. Time to reminisce about that past year and our favorite gaming memories. Some say 2016 was a pretty crummy year for games with the likes of No Man's Sky and Mighty No. 9 being two of the most common examples, bu...

When it comes to playing games, I usually stick to a short list of rules. I never buy DLC unless I can justify to myself the value it will bring to a game. I always wait for Steam Sales to buy and finally, I never buy HD re-releases i...

We all know that looming in the darkness, waiting to rear its head whenever we feel like we are making progress, is the dreaded enemy and taskmaster of anyone who seriously plays games. It is current year, the backlog still exists and...

When I woke up this morning, my heart skipped a beat when I saw that a new Metal Gear title had been revealed at Gamescom. The moment of apprehension that comes from a now Kojima-less MGS titles and the slight feeling of curiosity and ...

Twitchy first person shooters are totally fun. It is a liberating feeling to feel light as a feather as you endlessly run around closed off arenas. From Unreal Tournament to Overwatch, the floaty and agile characters and fast-paced gu...

You're not going to buy Microsoft's latest X-Box One S with their fancy redesigns, new controller, and 4K video streaming. You're probably not going to buy to buy the Scorpio either no matter how many teraflops they plan on adding. As...

For years I never looked at longplays plays as more than a distraction. A quick way to get a feel for how a game plays, relive the memory of a game that I no longer had access to or to catch up on some long-forgotten story details thro...

There need to be more games that just don't give a shit. I'm not talking about a faces fall off Assassins Creed kind of don't give a shit, but rather the ability to be completely silly. When was the last time you used a slab of meat to beat...

I've played plenty of horror titles over the years, with each Halloween allowing me the opportunity in the name of tradition to revisit as many old and new titles that time allows me. Through these year's I've experienced some great titles ...

Get spooky everyone! It's October which means Halloween time, which means it's that special time of year when playing survival horror titles feels so good. Every year I make sure to set aside some my backlog of horror titles or Halloween li...

  Sometimes I get to urge to play certain games during certain seasons. There's no logical explanation for this, nor is there some deep seeded reason for why my brain decides this is a good idea but for me certain seasons make the atmo...

Have you ever played a game that just “clicked”? There are probably plenty of games that after time and practice we have gotten good at, as well as plenty of games where we could enjoy smooth controls and gameplay. This is a bi...

  Is it safe to guess that we all have at least one game that we own multiple copies of? Games have been re-released over each console generation and like classic novels or films, we often can find ourselves coming into ownership of mu...

One of the things I feel modern day actions games, especially shooters lack is impact. This has nothing to do with any kind of scientific, velocity based bullet physics, but rather the impact each combat scenario leaves behind. I miss gun b...

A “bad” game is coming out and I can’t wait to play it. I’m talking about Devil’s Third, a game that has lately been filled with a roller coaster of release dates, dropped publishers rumors, criticism tossed at...

Merry Christmas damnit! It's the time for the holidays. Snow, presents,  A Christmas Story being played 50 times a day, its a sign of the season and for the first time in over three years, I'll actually be state side to enjoy the ...

Having a gaming backlog that continues to grow larger year by year is one of the most common problems among gamers. With the ease of being able to dowload games and the frequent sales services like Steam host seasonally, it becomes ver...
