All reviewsAssassin's Creed: Brotherhood2010
4 out of 5 starsI enjoy the Assassin's Creed games. I don't love them, but I don't hate them, and I generally think that there are a lot of things that they do well, on top of a lot of things that are maybe not so great. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is more or less a continuation of that, but I have to admit that it is one of the most well executed and complete packages that has come out of this monster franchise. Brotherhood…
Dead Rising 22010
4 out of 5 starsThe first Dead Rising was a very stupid, yet somehow fun game that dropped you into a mall full of zombies and said "Have fun!". It didn't have a great control setup, the story and characters were laughably cliche and silly, and the mission structure of the game is almost set up to make you feel like you have to restart the game at some point. Dead Rising 2 is more of that, and is inexplicably still fun . Enter…
GoldenEye 0072010
4 out of 5 starsGoldeneye: 007 for the Nintendo 64 is a classic. Goldeneye: 007 for the Wii may not be a game-changer, but it is anything but a lazy cash in remake of a popular title - this game stands high on it's own. In a Wii market where first person shooters barely exist at all, Goldeneye takes everything that you love from other modern FPSs, and combines it with the strengths of the Wii remote to create a very satisfying…
Fable III2010
2 out of 5 starsFable 3 is one of those games that is far too easy to spend long periods of time talking about every little thing that is so very very wrong with it. Partially, it's because there simply are so many things wrong with it, but mainly it's because the things that are bad are so excruciatingly obvious. Before I start down that road, I would like to say that Fable 3 continues many of the things that made Fable 2 a pretty…

All articlesReturning to Hyrule feels different this time
May 1, 2023
When Link woke in the Shrine of Resurrection, he emerged into a world where 100 years had passed without him, in the aftermath of a stalled calamity he and Princess Zelda failed to prevent. This world was faintly familiar to him - a fuzzy mirage of a place called Hyrule that he knew the idea of, but not the specific shape. Like the fallen Champion himself, we as players knew what Hyrule was in...
5 Games of 2019 That Occupied My Brain
Jan 2, 2020
Hello! I will probably do a real top 10 games of 2019 as a list at some point (when I finally catch up on playing some more of 2019's games). Until then, I thought I'd do a bit of writing about 5 games that I think of more than any others when I think about games of 2019. These aren't my favorite 5 games of the year, and they are not in order of how much I like them, but they are games I've spe...
My Thoughts on Contrast
Jul 20, 2014
I played Contrast via PlayStation Plus on the PS4 The concept of light and dark, and the interplay between those, are fairly commonplace in the world of video games, and these terms can hold a lot of different meanings. Various Nintendo games (in addition to others) often feature two parallel worlds, one referred to as “light” and the other “dark”, such as in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the...
I Wanna Be The Very Best, Part 7 - The Finale
Jun 28, 2014
When I set out on this quest quite literally almost a year ago, I was determined. I had every intention of catching every single Pokemon in existence, and creating a collection of every form of every species. The Pokedex itself was not enough, I truly wanted to be the very best. Well friends, I can gladly say that I've done it. My copy of Y now has 24 of its PC boxes full of all 718 individual...
I Wanna Be The Very Best, Part 6
Apr 12, 2014
Welcome back, fellow duders and Pokefans, to another installment of my quest to become the very best. In all honesty, I don’t even know if I should be writing this post as part of this series, because the main focus is supposed to be on catching all 718 available types. This will not be about that, because honestly I haven’t done very much of that since my last post. With the launch of the Bank...
I Wanna Be The Very Best, Part 5
Jan 26, 2014
Here we are, late into January 2014. Pokemon X and Y have been out for a while, Pokemon Bank is still mysteriously M.I.A., and my quest to obtain every Pokemon continues on. Without the Bank, I’ve still been doing all my collecting in White, and it has been going pretty well (when I sit down to actually work on it). I have, finally, collected all Legendary Pokemon - probably the toughest part o...
