Mixtape Review: The WarioWare Rock Opera That Life is Strange Fans Have Been Waiting For

The concept of Mixtape feels like it was made in a lab for me. I was a suburban kid who had to leave some friends behind when I went to college. I found it hard to fit in at times in high school, and my favorite radio station to listen to was 89x in Detroit,…

BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Nintendo Switch Games

We are almost there. Roughly two years ago, I made my first console top 10 list, with the eventual goal of essentially using all of these lists to better craft my “top 25 games of all time.” After this list, we will finally be there. I won’t be making lists for the PS5 or Xbox…

Indie Gaming Roundup: MOUSE: PI For Hire, Vampire Crawlers and Tombwater

2026 continues to be a weird gaming year for me. We are through four months, and I still only sit at six game completions for the year (and four game abandonments).

BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Xbox One Games

We are closing in on the end of what has been close to a two-year journey for me. In August of 2024, I started ranking my top 10 games within each game console in an attempt to whittle my selections down before ultimately giving out my top 25 games of all time. After this list,…
