4 out of 5 starsFor a game that dips its toes into a handful of genres, some of which I would never have considered my cup of tea, I walked away from this game joyfully surprised. Between the amazing soundtrack, tantalizing art design, and a core gameplay mechanic that I ended up really digging (I mean, who can resist celestial orb b-ball!?), I was able to not only tolerate but at times enjoy the text-heavy parts of the game. Super…
Divinity: Original Sin2014
5 out of 5 starsIn a gaming world full of hand-holding, uninspired battle systems, and just sheer crap, Divinity is a shining diamond in the rough. "The art direction is spot on, the colors brightly bring the world to life, and the character designs are great too." Loot-based, dungeon-crawling RPGs are never known for their graphics so I'm judging this on a level equivalent to similar games like Torchlight 2 and Diablo 3. I'm going…
Shovel Knight2014
4 out of 5 starsShovel Knight by Yacht Games is an 8-bit classic from the late eighties at surface-level, but if you play long enough, you'll find a core filled with modern gameplay mechanics that make it stand out as a true classic. One doesn’t have to adventure far into the world to discover where its influences come from, yet all the elements incorporated in this game have been altered or evolved just enough to consider them…
Mortal Kombat X2015
3 out of 5 starsThe first video game I ever played was Mortal Kombat for Sega Genesis. That game released in 1992…I was born in 1990. Sure I may have been a wee bit young for a game of that nature, but just look at me now. I’m 25, struggle to maintain a healthy balance between work, drinking, gaming, and boyfriending, but God dammit I’m good at Mortal Kombat. Or so I thought. "D’Vorah for instance sports some of the best character…

My BackBlog - Week 4
Feb 2, 2018
Hiya folks, So this week has been a bit crazy with work, so I apologize for what is both a late and short blog entry. With that in mind, I will keep this short, sweet and to the point. FUCK THIS GUY! Seriously...I took nearly 2 weeks playing nothing but this boss, before finally besting him. It was honestly quite frustrating and not something I enjoyed in the least bit. Between the RNG elements...
My BackBlog - Week 3: Pyre Review, Divinity OS 2 is still amazing, and Sleeping Dogs is fucking whacky...and I love it
Jan 22, 2018
Week 3: The wife was away for Saturday of week 3, and you know what that means? Lots of games, pizza, and beer. Going into the weekend, I knew Pyre was close to completion so that was my primary focus (review below). I also focused a lot more on Divinity OS 2 and a new game picked by the awesome Giant Bomb community (Sleeping Dogs)! Beyond that, Overwatch continues to have its hooks in me, so t...
My BackBlog - Week 2
Jan 18, 2018
Week 2: My second week has come to an end and the long weekend in the States helped me put a nice dent in a couple of games on my plate. I will soon be scratching a few games off the list and will need to determine what to play next. Stay tuned on the message boards, since I plan to involve the community on this initiative by letting you all pick what game(s) I play next! I’ll be curating the o...
My BackBlog - Week 1
Jan 10, 2018
My first week is in the books and I already have one game completed. While I technically started the game in December of ’17, I want to start out on a good note, so I’m counting it! Games Completed: Horizon: Zero Dawn It’s weird, I had a lot of gripes with this game when I think about it…yet I’d still recommend it to people??? The combat oftentimes felt forced. Sure, I could do a cool slow-moti...
My BackBlog - Introduction
Jan 10, 2018
It's 2018! That means gym memberships are being renewed for 3 months (before being dropped faster than the LBs themselves). It means no more sweets, no more treats, and time start being a better human being. Oh, you thought I was including myself in that paragraph above? Nonsense. While all those healthy folks are off being better people than me, I swear by my mother’s grave that I will do no m...
