Leaks Suck
So this is going to be a bit of a different kind of post! Rather than discussing a game or mechanic or anything like that, I want to rant a little about something that plagues all kinds of announcements but specifically video game related ones. I’m of course talking about leaks! A leak is when…

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…

The True Draw of Fighting Games
One aspect of gaming that I’ve never really been into is the competitive aspect. Very rarely do I actually like to compete against other players.

Do games need to be innovative to be good?

Making a Short Game Worth It
Awhile back I wrote a post talking about how the length of a game doesn’t affect how good it is. I talked about how a longer game isn’t inherently better than a shorter one and vice versa. However, I feel like I didn’t go into enough detail about how to use length to make a…

Are Tank Controls really so confusing?
I love tank controls. While they aren’t the perfect controls for every kind of game, I’ve never had issue with them in any game that required them and never found them too confusing, unlike a lot of other people. And while a lot of my love for tank controls probably comes from the fact that…
