I like Splatoon 2. I think it's a fun concept and something no other game on the market is doing (well, aside from Splatoon 1). I mostly play ranked mode because I find those objectives more interesting than Turf Wars, but the main mode is pretty decent as well and the new Salmon Run mode is a lot of fun. Unfortunately every other aspect of this game drives me up the wall. I like the way my squ...
Recently the publishers of two of my favorite franchises have caused a lot of anger among their fanbases, those two franchises being Metroid and Metal Gear . Whether the anger is righteous or not, both companies have made some decisions that almost anyone who cares about either property could have told you wouldn't go over well, and there's one common factor between the two. I wish I could forg...
Even though I finally stopped playing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain over a week ago, I still haven't really been able to stop thinking about both the game itself and the franchise as a whole. I've been a Metal Gear fan for about ten years, hopping on the series with Twin Snakes , the GameCube remake of the first Metal Gear Solid . I instantly fell in love with the story, characters and g...

Watching Drew play through the original Metal Gear Solid has given me the itch to play through one of the Metal Gear games again, but having just played through the entire series (from the MSX games all the through Peace Walker) back when The Legacy Collection came out, I decided I'd instead go through a game I haven't played in years: Metal Gear Solid - The Twin Snakes. As an unofficial compan...

With Resident Evil 6 completely polarizing fans of the series, it's gotten me thinking about what exactly it means to be a fan of a game franchise. Ostensibly one would be drawn in by things like the mechanics, story and characters, but these are all the result of the staff working on the game, not the franchise itself. Resident Evil didn't spontaneously conceive itself and then print itself on...
SHOW ME A new... game... please...... Why hasn't there been an F-Zero game on a current Nintendo platform? The last console F-Zero game was released in America on August 25, 2003, and the last handheld F-Zero to come out in America was released on September 20, 2004. F-Zero Climax , the last F-Zero game ever released, was released exclusively in Japan on October 21, 2004. This means there hasn'...
Like many, I was incredibly excited for Metroid Other M after the game was introduced at Nintendo's 2009 E3 press conference. Unfortunately, this excitement slowly turned to doubt, and eventually horror, as the game came closer to release, and more and more details were revealed. By the time the game came out I had decided I had no interest in ever playing Other M, but after reading about that...
