I miss shorter games…
After playing Crow Country last week, it really got me thinking about how much I miss shorter, smaller budget games. Games that you can easily finish in a weekend and don’t cost $70. Those kinds of games are really rare nowadays or at least from non indie developers. If a major developer or publisher is…

We need more Demos
Recently, in an attempt to save some money, I looked over all the subscriptions I currently have to see which of them I actually use. Of those subscriptions, I considered dropping my PlayStation Plus Premium subscription down to a PlayStation Plus Extra subscription after looking at what I’d lose by downgrading. There are a few…

How much should you remake with a Remake?
Starting in the PS4 generation, remaking games has become quite the hot trend in gaming! And it’s really not a surprise to see why. You take a game that did well in the past, remake it by tweaking and altering some stuff to make it more playable to modern audiences and then you’re basically printing…

No, seriously. Stop making Silent Hill Games.
So if you tuned into last week’s podcast, first of all thanks for doing that and second of all you probably heard me rant for awhile about how Silent Hill hasn’t been good in ages and Konami just needs to stop making them at this point because it’s clear they really have no idea how…

It can be a truly magical experience sticking with a series for years and years, watching the game’s story and characters grow before hopefully hitting a satisfying end. However, something that has become a bit…

The return of Spooky Month and the struggles of recommending Horror Games!
It’s that time of the year again at long last! And just like last year, all month long I will be writing about horror games. This is the perfect time of the year for it and I’ll always take an excuse to gush about one of my favorite genres of video games! Unlike last year…

The lack of Role Playing in RPGs
After playing Baldur’s Gate 3 for just about two weeks now, I’ve come to realize something. This is the first true role playing game I’ve played in a very long time. I feel like the genre of role playing games, or RPGs, has really gotten confused about what that term was originally suppose to mean.…

Nerfs Suck
Making sure any game is balanced and fair without anything being too overpowered is exactly what you want in a game that has multiple ways to play. You never want a player to pick something because it’s ‘the best’ or ‘the easiest’ way to play. You don’t want someone picking to use a sword over…

Enjoying the Summer Game Drought
As a kid, I always kind of hated that no new games seemed to come out during the summer. Everyone was finally out of school and had time to play games! It seemed like the perfect time to release one to me. However, in recent years, I’ve changed my mind on releasing games in the…
