3 out of 5 starsWhen you're playing Fortnite or PUBG, things can feel pretty desolate. Even with dozens of other players around you, there's a lot of walking about with nobody in sight, distant gunshots being the only indication that you're not alone. Of course, the contrast to this is that the scale, combined with the one-life-per-game mechanic, can lead to some of the most thrilling skirmishes to be had in a modern shooter,…
WarioWare Gold2018
4 out of 5 starsThe WarioWare series is modern Nintendo at its best. In an age of New Super Mario Bros. (a name that feels more ironic as the series goes on) and countless Pokemon games blurring together, WarioWare is there to let you know that the 128-year old company isn't set in its ways. The original game, 2003's WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, was a revelation, introducing the world to a redesigned Wario, a vibrant cast of…

2021's Best Games, Part 2: The New Games #10-6
Feb 7, 2022
The lines have blurred over the years. I got into it a little bit in my previous post , but video games aren't always products of their times anymore.

Some games get a second chance after a...

Why You're (Probably) Never Seeing Jet Set Radio Future Again
Jul 23, 2019
Some games have tried to emulate it, but there's still nothing quite like Jet Set Radio's style. I was always a SEGA guy. Sonic the Hedgehog's vibrant colors, fast and dynamic gameplay, and market-researched persona hooked me in as a dipshit toddler, but what kept me attached to them as I grew into a dipshit adult was how creative they could be. As cynical as Sonic's focus-tested b-boy stance a...
PC Game Pass Picks
Jun 21, 2019
Nintendo bought the rights to Ron Jeremy porn parodies Super Hornio Brothers I and II to keep them from ever being released again. Before Mario Maker, this was the only place where you could see Mario lay pipe. Super Mario Maker 2 is a week and change away, and the wait has been excruciating. To kill the time before its release—and the consequent moment where the police break into my home and d...
Splitting the Difference: Part 3
May 24, 2019
[This is the third entry in a series of blogs. It's recommended you read the first and second before you read this one.] I'm probably not alone in this, but for the past few generations, I've thought of the PlayStation as the Exclusives Machine. The PlayStation 3's Cell processor made sure that it was a bad place to play a lot of third-party games, and the current gulf between how games run on...
