Mixing Drinks and Changing Lives in Valhalla.

Jun 26, 2016

One of the debates that crops up every so often is whether or not something is a game. It happens all the time when a studio puts out a 'walking simulator' because the act of simply moving around an environment and being told a story doesn't count as a video game to some people...maybe because there's no guns? I never saw any problem with these types of games, to me they seemed like more intera...

Life, Death, and Player Choice (SPOILERS!)

Sep 2, 2015

WARNING: There will be spoilers in this, so if you'd rather not be spoiled on the plot of Until Dawn, I'd suggest turning back. Last week the game Until Dawn was released to fairly positive reviews and I, needing something to tide me over until Metal Gear Solid, decided to give it a purchase; after all, I like horror movies of the schlock variety so why not? Like many I was looking forward to d...

Always Be Prepared.

Jun 5, 2015

It's just past midday, I can tell by the position of the sun overhead. I've been out on the roads, or what pass for them in this part of the continent, for the better part of five hours now. Sure, I've a destination in mind. It's behind me, about half a day if I ride fast enough and don't run into any trouble. I never look for it. It finds me. But I'm not going that way. Not when there's a fork...

Lasting Appeal, Lingering Memories or Returning to an MMO You Hate.

Jan 7, 2015

I never really saw the appeal of MMORPGs until fairly recently. Back in 2004 when friends of mine were raving about World of Warcraft, I was one of those silly fourteen year olds who rolled my eyes and scoffed. "You have to PAY to play the game you ALREADY paid for? That's stupid!" In those teenage days, I was huge fan of JRPGs. I still enjoy them, well, some of them, but back then, when I had...

Wherein I Make a 2014 GOTY List Based on Factors Other Than Gameplay and Quality

Dec 22, 2014

It's that time of year again. The time when people put together lists of games they liked and also of movies and music they liked because it's the end of the year and that means we have to recognize what things we liked were the best at being part of the field we liked. While the best album of the year is clearly obvious (It's 'Life As A Dog') and the best movie is not going to be decided until...

Save The Future: A Look Back At The Lightning Saga (Part Two)

Jan 22, 2014

In a year's time, the saga that is the Final Fantasy 13 trilogy will probably be one that people look back on and make some snide remark about while hyping up 15 before the crushing disappointment settles in. The negative comments surrounding the games have been done to death at this point, and even though I like Final Fantasy 13 the first thought I had when I finished it wasn't "Yes, I'd like...
