So, what did you guys think of the Final Fantasy XV demo? ... let me rephrase that. What did you guys REALLY think of the Final Fantasy XV demo? I certainly have some extremely mixed opinions after playing it, and I...
I am officially going to publicly put my reputation on the line and call it now - Devil's Third is going to be a good game! This isn't going to be an extremely detailed blog, but the content is still important enough to get out there...
3D Streets of Rage 2 is finally out, and it truly does not disappoint. This review is going to be short and sweet, as the game has been out for many years, and it's already well known that this is considered by many to be the best bea...
Maybe some of you guys caught my last blog about my first couple of hours with Bloodborne. In there, I layed out all of my early complaints and frustrations with the game in as much honest detail as I could. Over time, I gr...
Did you enjoy the original soundtrack for Final Fantasy X? What if I told you that one of the 3 composers of that soundtrack just put out their first solo album on bandcamp for $9 a week ago? And did I mention that you can listen...
I have been dying to discuss some of the intricacies of this game ever since I started it last night. Bloodborne is very much in the spirit of the past 3 Souls games, but some critical elements of the gameplay seem to have change...
The Legend of Legacy just came out in Japan on 01/22/15, and was released with a small 10 track "mini-OST" previewing the game's full OST. The full OST releases on 02/25/15 in Japan, and was composed by Masashi Hamauzu, famous fo...
Full disclosure. I haven't completed all of these games, because I found them so disappointing. 1) Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc I decided to give this a try because of all the high praise I keep seeing for this title everywh...
I decided to pick up this game on Wii U two nights ago, and I seriously cannot stop playing it. DK King of Swing was originally released on GBA in 2005, but now it's available on the virtual console for $6.99 in NA (released 11/2...
2014 was an interesting year of gaming for me. It was a year of transition, personally, and in gaming. It was the first year I got a PS4 and tried out "next gen" gaming. But instead of PS4 leading the way, many of the...
Feminist Frequency has a new video up, so let's break it down and see if any of this is fair criticism and commentary. One interesting fact about this video is that it has several gaming journalists reading their script instead ...
I thought this was a video that gamers familiar with the gender debates of the last several years would like to see; and need to see. This is a video from The Young Turks, a liberal, feminist-leaning online news site with multip...
I finally found an article with the full interview up and got a chance to watch it. I was honestly pleasantly surprised by Colbert's questions and I think this was an interesting watch. This is the kind of questioning that ...
I've been reading about Gamergate and gender / political issues in gaming since the beginning, but for the most part, I've largely done so from the outside looking in. I don't have a twitter account, and the precise number of twe...
I was listening to the inFamous Second Son OST today in the car, and I was again struck by just how great it really is. This is really of the most refereshing and unique OSTs I've heard in quite some time. It starts with tw...
As Phil Fish makes his graceful exit from his career in game design, I feel like a unique opportunity has been created to talk about something that has been plaguing gaming media, and gaming culture for the last 7 years - racism. 1. Edge ...
I saw this video on IGN yesterday and it struck me as a little sad. �6 months left in 2013, and IGN has GOTY nominations locked already between Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us (really they're pretty transparent about favoring The Last ...
This is probably my most random blog post ever, so if you don't want to read a rant and personal anecdote of mine, you can safely move along and not miss anything because that's all this blog post is. So I got The Last of Us a couple of da...
As we come to the end of 2012, we find our hobby in the midst of another controversy; the claim that playing violent video games leads to violent behavior in real life. This topic has been argued ever since Mortal Kombat hit arcades in 199...
Imeruat's new album, Black Ocean, was released on April 12th in Japan. In many ways video game fans will feel right at home with the album, which was composed by Masashi Hamauzu (Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy X), ...
