My Top 25 Moments From Metaphor: ReFantazio
It’s back! After putting together a list of my top 25 moments from Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth back in March, I have decided to do the same thing for Metaphor: ReFantazio. While I’m not sure if Metaphor’s moments quite live up to Rebirth’s, this is still a huge story heavy game with tons of amazing…

Big Nerd Gaming’s Top 10 PS1 Games
Today’s post is the next one on my journey to releasing my top 50 games of all time. I find that it’s much easier to segment games off first, which is why I’m slowly ranking my top 10 games on each system before I release the full list. This has been a great feature when…

My Ten Biggest Disagreements With Game Critics This Year (So Far)
One of my biggest “hot takes” is that game critics do a pretty good job overall.

For those who have been following the blog for a while, you may know that my plan has been to put together a top 10 list for each year up to around 1995 before doing my top 50 games of all time. I find it easier to compartmentalize these things before tackling a big list.…

My Top 10 Most Anticipated Video Games For THIS FREAKING WEEK
I’ve been talking about the week of July 14th for a while now. If you read my “Most Anticipated Games For the Rest of the Year” list a few weeks ago, I mentioned it briefly along with my number four game, which was Dungeons of Hinterberg. But the more I’ve dived in, the more I’ve…

My Top 15 Most Anticipated Games For the Rest of 2024
The first half of 2024 was incredible. My top 10 from the year so far could stand with several full year top 10s from the past. And we aren’t done yet. When looking ahead to the rest of the year, things seem like they are about to heat up even more than we realize. Fall…

BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Games From The First Half of 2024
After 2023 was one of the deepest years in video game history, it was natural to expect a bit of a drop off in 2024. That has not been the case. 2024 has been off to an incredibly hot start, with every month so far having at least a few incredible games released, and that…
