Observing my almost 10 year old nephew’s gaming interests these last few years has been interesting. Minecraft, Undertale and Pokémon are going to be the games he’ll think fondly of when he gets older. I’d say times have changed but have they really? Stay with me while I have a Get Off My Lawn moment…
In video games, graveyards usually spell trouble. Ico didn’t disappoint. This year, part of my backlog clearing strategy is to play games in series before their sequels or marginally related entries come out. In the case of 2001’s Ico and 2005’s Shadow of Colossus, I figured that I should at least play Fumito Ueda’s two…

You know what they say: who needs enemies when you can have frenemies. I apparently have many. It’s nice to keep them around sometimes. They do just enough to keep you entertained (you know, when they’re not insulting you): …Well, actually: Not really. They’re just plain old awful. If you have frenemies of your own,…

All of this freedom to explore in No Man’s Sky is giving me a headache. Landing on plant life is one way I’ve been utilizing my time in Hello Games’ space exploration game. As a person who primarily plays linear, story-driven games in the form of JRPGs, the open world of No Man’s Sky has…
Some adventures cannot begin without naming your character. It’s when Final Fantasy Clouds can be Squalls. Or Freds. Some games provide the option to change your character’s name at the start screen. Others integrate protagonists’ intros and renaming prompts in clever ways. These five games do the latter. It’s Always A Trap, Wild Arms In…

The last few games I played couldn’t be any more different from one another. The same goes for their varied, gorgeous soundtracks. Monolith, No Man’s Sky I managed to survive my crash landing on Planet Urrkundarfjord, somehow. I say ‘somehow’ because it’s the first survival game I’ve invested any real time in. I thought I’d…
Heartbreak is stumbling on a planet, entering its atmosphere to see lush green hills and island chains surrounded by gorgeous blue oceans below—only to land and find out it’s too toxic to withstand for extended periods of time.

Oh how I long to relive those days chasing danger, and launching stealthy attacks on those damned dirty apes of Ape Escape on the PSN. Sadly, I’m still waiting for that release. In the meanwhile, the primates of Ape Escape 2 can terrorize me instead. I hold the first Ape Escape in high regards. Until…
The ever-present snow in I Am Setsuna gives life to cute snowmen with askew smiles. They may be found tucked away in corners of quiet villages, near wells or behind NPCs’ houses. The snowy scenery is just one charming aspect of its world. But the game’s not all a wonderland. During my first few hours…
One of the biggest scandals to hit the 2016 Google Doodle Fruit Games was the realization that I can’t ride a tricycle. But it’s far from the only one. My career as a Fruitlympian is over. The 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio are coming to a close, after two weeks of the world’s best athletes…
