SIGNALIS: Surpassing your Inspirations
It’s kind of crazy to think about how many once great and massive franchises are now dead in the water, seemingly forgotten by those that hold the rights to them. Series like Mega Man, F-Zero, Kid Icarus, Star Fox, Punch-Out, Dino Crisis, Darkstalkers, Killer Instinct, Banjo-Kazooie, and like everything made by Konami. Lots and lots…

Alan Wake: A Light in the Dark
When looking back on the history of horror games, I feel like one generation is often over looked and not because it was an underrated era or anything, but because it was easily the darkest time for the genre. And not even in a spooky scary way either! I’m talking about the 360/PS3 generation which…

Killer Frequency: A new tune for Horror Games

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…
