Not every game has to be a masterpiece, just like not every movie has to be a serious, character-driven drama. Read more

Aside from not coming in with crazy expectations, I think sometimes the smaller games that aren’t necessarily amazing also take more risks. Since they’re not aiming for world domination, they can make their gameplay, style, music, etc. for a more niche audience, which sometimes makes them really refreshing to play. Read more

I think part of it also comes down to this interesting lack of pressure and expectation. I felt this strongly when I played through the new God of War a little ways back.

I’d just finished telling my kid how much the combination of Roman and Arabic numerals in the title for Kingdom Hearts 2.8 bothered me. When this came on the screen we looked at each other and just laughed. Read more

Missed opportunity to include Dangerous Golf in that package. Read more

I was gonna say the same thing.  The Sony employee did not go cheap on that selection, and she has some amazing titles to play through now.  I would not want to go through what she did to get that package (I’ve had enough injuries to not want to add more head trauma to the list), but I am mildly envious...
