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). Meanwhile, I am currently juggling SIX different games (though I haven’t played several of them for over a week). Essentially, I’m playing a lot…

The Top 10 Games of the 2020s That Will Age The Worst
After posting my “Top 10 Games of the 2020s That Will Age The Best” yesterday, I naturally needed to compile this list. Life and clickbait are all about balance. The big thing I want to clarify here is that this list is not saying “people will say these games suck in 20 years.” In the…

The Top 10 Games of the 2020s That Will Age The Best
In my recent mailbag post, my friend Ross asked me what modern games I considered timeless. My first instinct was to say that pretty much any modern game that is well-regarded will probably be timeless. I think there are plenty of games in the early 3D era that were considered amazing that have not aged…

BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Playstation 4 Games
One thing I love about video game consoles is the incredible memories that can be made with them. I have had fond memories of every single console that I’ve made a top 10 list for in the past few years. As I make these lists, those memories come rushing back to me all over again.…

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,…

My 9 Biggest Winners From The 2026 Triple-I Initiative Showcase
I strive to cover indie games whenever possible here at Big Nerd Gaming, but I also don’t cover them as charity. I cover them because they often deserve the coverage. This also means that I don’t bother covering them when I don’t think that it’s worthwhile. There are tons of indie gaming showcases these days,…

Crimson Desert Makes Me Question The Line Between “Good” and “Addictive” in Video Games
I’ve always found the use of the word “addictive” in gaming discussions to be pretty interesting, because for the most part, it’s a word very scarcely used in any sort of positive context in society. When people talk about addiction, it’s usually related to drugs of some sort, or perhaps gambling. You might even see…
