State of the Combo Breaker

Hello readers, I’d like to share some thoughts about Combo Breaker and what I’m planning for the future. It is the first blog that I’ve updated with regularity and I’ve had a lot of fun doing so. There have been times where I struggled to come up with something to say, and I think that […]

Bastion, 2nd time’s the charm. (PS4 review)

The year was 2012. I was still living in Ohio, and working at a barbecue restaurant, attending college part time. For a few months, I wasn’t playing very many new games, just some old favorites and sports games with friends. The dust had settled after Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption and I was feeling disengaged. […]

Craving local multiplayer… that camaraderie.

I enjoy online gaming, it’s taken me a while, but I’ve finally come around and learned to enjoy myself (I even use a mic now!). Most recently, I’ve had a blast with Destiny. Bloodborne too, although I am usually chatting in a “party” with someone while we play different segments of the game, dropping hints […]

Most anticipated games of 2015.

From the start, 2015 was hyped up to be a huge year. 2013 had a long list of AAA and acclaimed games, as well as some excellent indies. We got The Last of Us, Zelda: A Link Between Two Worlds, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Gone Home, Rayman Legends and lots of others. It was probably […]

Infamous Photo Mode

Had some fun with Photo Mode for the first time this weekend, with Infamous: Second Son and Shadow of Mordor. I thought these were some of the coolest from Infamous. Shadow of Mordor has an option to add filters, and I’ve barely scratched the surface with it, but it’s serious fun. I wish Bloodborne would […]

Evaluating evaluations. (or, video game review scores as a whole = 7.9/10)

Game reviews are more important than reviews for any other medium in predicting its financial success. For a long time, I put too much faith into them. If something came out and it received less than a 8.5/10, I became disinterested. I was doing myself a disservice. Recently I’ve noticed there are a lot of […]

Tips for weary Hunters, and some thoughts.

Bloodborne has been one of those games where everything else takes a back seat and dominates all my play time. I have yet to see the credits roll, but am well on my way to the game’s final boss. On April Fools Day I did a joke blog about how many gaming journalists quit their […]

Fallout from E3 ’13 continues today.

A few years ago no one would have predicted Sony’s incredible financial success with the PS4, which has quickly become one of the fastest selling consoles ever, outpacing even the PS2, which went on to sell over 150 million units by the end of its long run. Early in the PS3’s life cycle, Sony fell […]

Bloodborne causes many gaming journalists to quit their jobs.

The new PS4 exclusive game Bloodborne has received major critical acclaim, it currently sits at a 92 on Metacritic. Most reviewers love the atmosphere, satisfying yet brutal combat, and intricate level design. However, there is a small minority that have thrown their hands up in the air and decided that video games just aren’t for them anymore. The […]
