I don't get paid to write about games, so why do I feel like I need to get every new game out there?
I Don’t Get Paid For This – Why Being Apart of the Conversation Kind of Sucks
An In-depth Look at Microsoft’s First Party Studios
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 →
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – 20 Hours In
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 →
Why the Fuck is Spider-Man so Poor?
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.

Brand New Dualshock 4 Controllers Incoming
EDIT: Seems as the Copper controller will be a GameStop exclusive for the launch, but will come to other stores later. I have always been a fan of variant controllers. 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 →
Octopath Traveler has Made My Switch Feel Important Again – Impressions
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 →
Top Games of E3 2018 #1
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 →
