The Case of the Golden Idol Review: I’m a Detective, Damn It (Xbox Version)
Video games allow us to truly feel like someone else for a while in a way no other medium can. I truly felt like a master swordsman when playing Rise of the Ronin earlier this year. I could have sworn I was actually on vacation when I was playing Dungeons of Hinterberg a week ago.…

My Super Mega Huge Awesome Gaming Roundup: Ft. Dungeons of Hinterberg, Nier: Automata, Paper Mario: TTYD and More!
For the past few months, I’ve been fortunate to have had a whole lot to write about. It has been so consistent that I haven’t felt the need to write blog posts on any games that I’ve been in progress on. But it’s time for that to change. Over the past few months, I have…

Rolling Hills Review: Delicious and Occasionally Overfilling
I have a weird relationship with cozy games. I like them in theory, as they often have stealth RPG elements at the very least. Multiple games that are amongst my top 50 all time are cozy games (Harvest Moon 64, Stardew Valley, and Littlewood). But a lot of the slow starts and general sameness that…

Optional Content Should Not Negatively Influence Review Scores
So often, when I read critiques of video games, open world ones in particular, the conversation quickly turns to bloat. People love to trash a game for having too many icons on the map unless that content is Cyberpunk 2077 levels of phenomenal. With games like Horizon, Assassin’s Creed, Final Fantasy XVI, or the recent…

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…

Athenian Rhapsody Review: I’m Not Laughing Anymore
Launching a comedy RPG feels like one of the bravest things you can do in video games. In general, there just isn’t much in the way of full-on comedy video games out there. But the few that exist that people know about are considered certified classics. If I tell you that I’m going to play…
