Microsoft announced back at E3 2018 that they were acquiring 5 new game studios and making them first party. To the masses, this seemed like nothing. To the people actually in the gaming industry like journalists and to some extent YouTubers, they knew that what Microsoft was doing. They were ramping up, preparing for the... Continue Reading →
Alright, here we go. When Odyssey was first announced, I was looking forward to it. As much as I looked forward to any new AC game. I did feel like it was too early since it took me ages to play through Origins, but I still went ahead and preordered it. Then promptly forgot all... Continue Reading →
Insomniac's newest game Spider-Man is officially a hit. It is the number one fastest-selling PlayStation 4 game, passing over the equally excellent God of War. This is fantastic, and further cement that single player games are not dying off in the industry. This is great and all, but we are not here to talk about... Continue Reading →
It's no secret that Alan Wake is one of my all-time favorite video games. The atmosphere is amazing, the story is weird as hell, and the combat is tense. I have never been a fan of horror-like games, but Alan Wake has so much more going on that it's just so much fun to play.... Continue Reading →

I collected quite a few rad 360 back in the day, but of course realized I didn't need 10 different controllers for one system. I'm... Continue Reading →
I was never sure on Octopath Traveler. I really liked the art style, but JRPGs are not my cup of soup at all. I think the last JRPG I dove deep into was Final Fantasy 12. And even that wasn't as traditional.I decided to download the demo a few days before the game actually released.... Continue Reading →
Control This game definitely flew under the radar for many people at E3. It was at Sony's press conference so I didn't see it initially. But when I hears that Remedy had announced a new game, I had to see it. https://youtu.be/2p3jktqhp4g Remedy made one of my favorite games ever, Alan Wake. They also did... Continue Reading →
The Last of Us Part II I honestly didn't watch this at the press conference. Like I said in the first post, I only got the opportunity to watch Microsofts conference, arguably the best one of E3. But after watching the trailer for this game, I am even more excited for it. If you haven't... Continue Reading →
