With each video game that I play, I am thinking about if it will be in my top ten at year end. I love playing video games, and it’s a great way for me to think about the games that I enjoyed the most in a given year. In recent years, we have seen an…

Silent Hill 2 Remake Review- I Screamed, I Cried, I Was Diagnosed With ADHD
Survival horror can be an odd genre. These games are not ones where I usually jump in expecting a great story. I play survival horror games for the intensity. I like having minimal bullets when I fight monsters so that I truly have to think about every shot. I like exploring every corner of every…

The 2024 Nerdys: All Of My Dumbest Video Game Awards
I love year-end awards. I love ranking stuff. I love finding ways to honor the video games that I loved the most this year. My actual 2024 awards will feature top 10s for multiple categories that will allow games that even I may have forgotten about in stretches to be honored. Yet THAT STILL ISN’T…

The Twenty Biggest Winners From The Game Awards
After watching The Game Awards, one word kept crossing my mind. I thought about writing my blog post on the event as soon as it finished and starting with that word, but I didn’t want to be a prisoner of the moment. I wanted a few days for things to simmer. I wanted post-Geoff clarity…

My Top 7 Games of 2024 That I Didn’t Finish
Completing a game isn’t everything. Over the years, I have had many games that I really liked or even loved that I didn’t finish. Sometimes, the game was just a bit too long, and I felt fine calling it quits after 50-60 hours. Occasionally, a game is awesome but doesn’t have difficulty settings, and I…

Black Friday MEGA Gaming Round Up: Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Black Myth Wukong, Mario and Luigi: Brothership, and Nine Sols
As we inch closer and closer to the end of the year, I am slowly chipping away at everything I haven’t finished yet before Game of the Year season truly commences. There are only a few releases in December that look interesting to me, so at this point, I’m in hardcore catch-up mode for the…

Neva Review: Right Back Where We Started
Before playing Neva, I finally played GRIS a few months ago. This was the first game from Nomada Studios. And it was a beautiful piece of art. The game told a surprisingly deep story and mixed it with some of the best art direction and style you can find in any video game. As much…
