All reviewsErica2019
2 out of 5 starsGrowing up on Fighting Fantasy gamebooks and other choose-your-own adventures, interactive narratives have always been my favorite thing about video games. Player agency and choices having an actual impact on the world of the game. So when I saw Erica on the Playstation store, it was an instant purchase for me; I'll take as many of these games as I can get. Even in a post- Telltale world where it seems like every…
Donut County2018
3 out of 5 starsAllow me to fall into the trap of talking about what this game isn't. I had high hopes for Donut County, a Katamari -style game where you control a hole that grows as things fall into it. Only, it's not done in the style of Katamari at all, not really. It's more of a puzzle game with Katamari trappings. Sure, Katamari games are split into discrete levels, but this goes even further, with fairly minute levels…
Assassin's Creed: Rogue2014
5 out of 5 starsOne of my favorite things is taking a story and extending it out, exploring it from every angle and examining every point of interest. I love sequels and franchises that survive solely on call-backs and references; it's pretty much the only reason I watch horror movies at all. So, for me, Assassin's Creed: Rogue has one of the best stories in the series, if not the best. I won't say it's the Forrest Gump of…
Saints Row2006
2 out of 5 starsI'll preface my review by saying that I don't usually continue playing many games I find difficult and don't get much enjoyment out of throwing myself against a game until I beat it. However, the fact remains that Saints Row is one of the most difficult games I've ever played. Or, at least, it felt that way. It's not even because of what it's asking you to do, but how it asks you to do it. The game has terrible…

O Fandom, you can come and render your brand dumb, But we're not just random, we're acting in tandem. You came and you lynched, but we're under Dan's thumb. Corporate synergy? It's lethargy, because you have no energy. Business model was proven but now you pray for RNG. Pal, you had value, but now all you can do Is hunt for that dollar and live like Ayn Rand do. You bought up Coca-Cola and remo...
Count Your Sheep Before They Hatch
Mar 27, 2022
And by "hatch" I mean "are made unavailable for purchase due to the closure of the 3DS eShop". Sleep Clock , a DSiWare app, is the best alarm clock I've ever used. How good is it? I wrote about it in 2014 when I started using it and I've legitimately used it every single day since. It's the only alarm that hasn't eventually become annoying to me and it wakes me up immediately every time I use i...
GBI Out Of Context's Next Top Curator
Jan 2, 2022
I've been thinking for a while that it would be cool if other people took turns curating the Giant Bomb Infinite Out Of Context Twitter account . I've been running it for a relatively long time now and I've been doing it my way, but I'd like to see how other people would do things. I'll retain control as founder and overseer of the account, but for the most part the curator will be able to run...
My Thoughts on Final Fantasy X - 25 Hours In
Jul 25, 2021
My adventures in Spira continue ! Final Fantasy X: HD Remaster Edition is my first Final Fantasy game, I just passed 25 hours and here's what I know so far. For context, I'm currently on my way to Lake Ice World and, yes, I dodged 200 lightnings. -- In no particular order, my thoughts: Wakka just gets more racist, huh? I like that most of the side characters have names and personalities, like t...
My Thoughts on Final Fantasy X - 10 Hours In
Jul 16, 2021
I've been playing Final Fantasy X ( HD Remaster ) on Twitch near-daily (also being gradually archived on YouTube for dedicated VOD viewers) and just passed the 10-hour mark, so I want to get down some of my thoughts about the game so far. In no particular order: Tidus is the stupidest person in the world. Maester Mika has a cool voice. Fire, Thunder, Water and Ice is a bad selection of RPG elem...
Clones & Memes: How Kojima uses repetition to create a mythos
Jul 6, 2021
Snake, we're sending you into an isolated environment to find and destroy a bipedal nuclear weapon: Metal Gear. Before you reach it, though, you'll likely have to do battle with a helicopter, as well as a sniper who is probably a beautiful woman and may be able to use photosynthesis. Should you find yourself captured, a mysterious third party will help you escape. They may be some kind of cybor...
