June 13th, 2019E3 may still have one more day to go, but we've had ourselves one doozy of a show so far!
We've had some expected releases and news that pretty much everyone knew was coming, but we've also had some pretty rad announcements that have come as quite the surprise too. I've had the pleasure of getting to attend quite a bit of the show so...
May 30th, 2019"Become what you must... Become, the Warrior of Darkness!" Look, I don't know what gets you hyped up, but if you're anything like me, then epic cinematic trailers with kick-ass lines like that Warrior of Darkness one is a surefire way to get my blood pumping.
You combine that with a bevy of improvements to the game, new jobs to play,...
May 23rd, 2019Now that Winter has come and gone for Game of Thrones on HBO, it appears that George R.R. Martin, the author of the Song of Ice and Fire book series that inspired the hit television show, is setting his sights on more than just finishing his book series – turns out, he's wanting to throw his hat into the world of video games as...

February 14th, 2019When I'm in the Valentine's Day spirit, I tend not to think about my favorite romantic comedies (My favorites being Crazy Stupid Love, Bull Durham, and Enough Said, by the way...), and instead I think fondly of all my favorite video game love stories!
Now, obviously I can't go into every single one of my favorite in-game romances, as...
March 22nd, 2018Personally, I've been an avid fan of Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star and video game RPGs since I was a little kid. For most of my formative years, the story was the focus until consoles got beefier and action and lights won out. Well, until now.
Admittedly, I'm one of those obnoxious "When I was your age..." jerks when it comes to some of...

February 16th, 2018I can't stress enough how important the "nostalgia factor" is to me when it comes to the impact a video game has on me. The experiences I had growing up with games like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III (aka Final Fantasy VI) have stuck with me for literal decades and many of the first games...
October 27th, 2017This week we are celebrating the birthday of one of the greatest gaming consoles of all time - the PlayStation 2! Now, while I may be a Sony console fanboy, I think it's pretty universally known in the gaming community that the PS2 was a pretty impressive console - and what better way for me to honor its legacy than to break down my...
