Made a concept page for Generative A.I. With some video game publishers and developers being reluctant to be upfront about their usage of Neural Networks in creating their games, I figured it was worth tracking what games have used it in different ways. Feel free to clean up the writing on the page.
Sometimes you sit down and you have an idea and it's a stupid thing to follow through with it, but you do it anyway and you can't explain why. Pretty sure Jeremy Medina knows that feeling all too well… The thought I got was when I read Metacritic's Best of the 2010's feature , showcasing not just how broken their own system is and how tastes have rapidly changed in the past ten years, but also...
I've made the spreadsheet. I'm checking it twice. With Giant Bomb users making Game of the Decade lists. We're gonna find out which games were pretty nice. Game of the Decade is coming to town... Edit: Going to call the cut off 11:59 p.m. 10th. That's 10 full days into the new year to decide the best games of the last 10 years. Makes sense to me. Edit 2: Actually got one more person I'm waiting...
Part Quatre! If you didn't read the previous parts, I'm posting a quick summary of why I'm excited for 50 different video games in 2016. Today, I'll be running down the last ten games on my list or, better put, the ten games I'm most excited to play in 2016. I apologize for the wait. I was sick off and on for a good three weeks after the last post and unfortunately 30% of this last segment is a...
Part Trois! If you didn't read the first two parts, I'm posting a quick summary of why I'm excited for 50 different video games in 2016. Today, I'll be running down ten more games. I should have the final ten by the end of the week if all things go according to plan. Again, this is a subjective list, so don't expect something popular I have no interest in to take #1 (sorry, Far Cry Primal ). Ho...
I’m not going to make excuses: I dropped the ball hard on this list. For anyone who was following along with it, sorry for stopping halfway through. I had the list drafted and put a bunch of time into it, but it was never quite completed. R.I.P. Iwata The good news is that, of the twenty games left on this list, only eight of the games actually released in 2015, so I’m able to just talk and gus...
Before I get on with my Most Anticipated Games of 2015 (expanded to a list of 35 this year because A) there are too many great games to talk about and B) fuck it), I’ve got to mention the fantastic games of 2015 that I thought we would have been playing by now. There’s a million valid reasons for a game to miss a release window, so I’m not here to yell at developers to get their games done beca...
As I discussed in this blog post , I originally was going to make a list of games I was excited about for 2014 back in the start of January, but school kind of demanded my attention and I never got around to it. Now that school is done and summer is here, I would like to write a bit about the games left to come out this year ( that I haven't already talked about ) that I'm excited to play. So h...

School kicked my butt this past term, but that’s all over. While I get to spend this grace period after finals and before summer work doing responsible things like doing extensive spring cleaning, managing my finances, and actually finding a summer job ( gulp! ), I also get to play some goddamn video games again! And do some writing! Mostly writing about video games! So, while I could just work...
Quick apology for all... one or two of you who were looking forward to my "2014's Most Anticipated Games" post series. I've been done the list for a while now, but need to put some solid hours into writing/editing them. I'll have that time during the break in classes in a week and a half, but until then I have a mountain to climb of school work and midterms. It's been a crazy busy year so far w...
Developing video games requires hard work, determination, a little bit of insanity, and a whole lot of luck for a presentable product to be produced in the end. But games don’t always release when the gaming audience wants and games almost always release well after the developers want them to. Sometimes, a game just needs that extra time, whether it’s to make up for a lack of polish, to attempt...
After a Sunday lost due to nasty allergies and a nasty hangover, the first thing I did when I woke up was roll over, pick up my laptop, and check twitter. The first tweet I looked at was Patrick's announcing the great loss the video game industry had suffered. A full day of crying and pouring over everything I could find that made our Ryan Davis special followed. I don't want this to stretch on...

Thanks for reading the conclusion to my Top 25 Most Anticipated Games of 2013. It took much longer than I wanted it to take, but I hope that you at least enjoyed reading my blogs or learned about a new title or two coming out very soon. Thanks! #5 - Shin Megami Tensei IV For the past decade, western gamers have turned to the Shin Megami Tensei series (and its offshoots) for a consistent source...
Thanks for reading! This is the fourth part looking at those 25 games that has me excited for the rest of 2013. Sorry for the short wait, if anyone was waiting, it's been a busy couple of days. Also, I would like to thank @ZombiePie for featuring the first three parts of in the always awesome weekly Community Spotlight . ------------------------------- Part 5 (5-1) >> #10 - The God & Fate Revol...
Thanks for reading the third part of the 25 games I am most excited to get my hands on in the coming year. I won't bore you and just jump into the list right away. ------------------------------- Part 4 (10-6) >> #15 - Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Sly is still one of the best 3D platforming series out there. It had an incredibly solid stealth-platforming base established in the Thievius Raccoonu...
The next 5 in the list are below, but I'd also like to redirect you to a short list I made of the games I thought would come out in 2012, but unfortunately were stuck in development. This covers a few games that will be noticeably missing, such as Bioshock Infinite and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Also, I won't be posting this one to the General Discussion boards. I'm trying to finish all of...
So I've been looking at what's to come and I think I've narrowed down about 25 games I am dying to play in the next year. Come December, I think we will all agree this won't be the Top 25 Best Games of the Year, but these are the games I find most promising and exciting in this industry for me. I'll be posting this Top 25 in 5 pieces, with 5 being posted almost everyday (almost being the key wo...
Game of the "Year" Fuck Yeah! Video Games! Right? So, Giant Bomb, the Giant Bomb community, and pretty much this whole industry has gone crazy over Game of the Year in the past week. And why not? The VGA's happened last week, displaying a surprising level of competence this year and choosing a winner in many of the categories I can't really argue with. So let's all get excited guys! It's time t...
