My Top 10 Games Enhanced By Fatherhood
When you become a parent, there’s a whole lot of things that people don’t tell you. Mostly, people have a hard time describing exactly how hard it can be. They don’t tell you about how difficult it is to do all the things you have to do on a given day, but with way less…

My 15 Most Anticipated Games For The Rest of 2025
When I look at 2025 so far, I’d honestly say that this year has fallen just a touch short of 2023 and 2024. That isn’t a big knock at all. I thought 2023 and 2024 were historic, and 2025 is just a little behind. Despite this, I still constantly feel overwhelmed with the number of…

My Way Too Early 2025 Game Awards Predictions
UPDATE: These predictions are from June. My final predictions are now posted here. For those who don’t know, it’s time for me to come clean. I am a Game Awards sicko. I absolutely love it. I have a lot of justifications for my sickness, which I’ll probably go more into during my coverage at the…

Mega Gaming Roundup: DOOM: The Dark Ages, Fantasy Life i, Monster Train 2, and Drop Duchy
I’ve started to feel like BigNerdHater the past few weeks. My last three review scores have been a 7, a 6, and a 5. I swear I don’t hate games now. I just had a slightly rougher stretch (though I still enjoy that 7/10, and even have respect for the 6/10! I won’t talk about…

Cattle Country Review- This Tale Is Not Blossoming
A review code was provided for this game by Keymailer and Playtonic Games Sometimes, there are signs that things aren’t going to go well before you even realize that they are there. As I opened up Cattle Country, a cozy farming sim with a western bent to it, I set out to name my farm.…

My 10 Biggest Winners From The Six One Indie Showcase
One thing that I’ve really enjoyed about this blog is that it has pushed me to go past my comfort zone on several occasions. While I’m open to almost any genre out there, I’ve played enough video games over the years where I can usually tell if I’m not going to like a game. Even…

Bionic Bay Review- Let’s Try That Again
I try very hard to avoid using “trial and error” as a major critique when talking about video games. Because inherently, all video games are trial and error if there is any difficulty whatsoever attached to them. When you play a difficult action game where you need to learn enemy attack patterns, there is an…
