Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review- Craving Tough Love
As someone who reviews almost every game that I play, there’s a point in the process where I kind of start mentally writing my review. Once I’m deep enough in a game, there usually isn’t much that is going to change. The game kind of gets locked into the score and thought process I have…

The Biggest Things I Learned Through Video Games At Age 36
I do two posts a week with this blog religiously. It’s not easy sometimes. If you follow the blog closely, first off, thank you, but second off, you’ve probably noticed how often I find almost any idea and turn it into a list. Part of that is because I’m just a list sicko and love…

BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Indie Games of the 2020s So Far

Three Early Impressions: Hell Clock
A review code for this game was provided by Keymailer and Mad Mushroom. When my wife and I went on our first date, we both pretty much knew afterward that we were going to marry each other.

The Top 10 Games That I Didn’t Expect To Like, But Did
Even if you truly love video games, we all have games or genres that are in our blind spots. These are usually games that we don’t have an interest in because we’ve had bad experiences in the past, or they just don’t seem appealing for one reason or another. I think it’s easy to put…

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo Review- The Best Brazilian Video Game Inspired By Italian Mafia Sterotypes Ever
I think oftentimes with developers, after we experience one game from them, we tend to put them in a box. If I didn’t like the first game from a developer, my general assumption is that the next game from that same studio isn’t going to be something that is worth my time. We view the…

The Gaming Press Completely Screwed Up With Their Rematch Reviews
I am someone who really respects the job that game reviewers do. I think that Opencritic and Metacritic are legitimately useful tools, and in many cases, my own takes on a game end up being roughly in line with the consensus review score. I know it’s a rarity to hear this view these days, but…
