The Pretend Gamer in 2021
New year, new reviews. Hello everybody and welcome to 2021! I’m the Pretend Gamer and I wanted to take a moment to say hello. In case you missed it, I have quite a few new subscribers on YouTube (thank you to my subscribers both old and new by the way) so I thought I would … Continue reading The Pretend Gamer in 2021
Microsoft Has a Bug Problem
And no, an exterminator can't fix it. Author's Note: Video version can be found here. In case you missed it, Microsoft is buying ZeniMax Media (and all of its associated studios including the well-known Bethesda Game Studios) for $7.5 billion. This is just the latest in a long line of gaming acquisitions that began in … Continue reading Microsoft Has a Bug Problem
I Can’t Stop Playing Ghost of Tsushima
Please send help. Author's Note: Video version can be found here. As the title blatantly says, I can’t stop playing Ghost of Tsushima on the PS4. I have been thoroughly and completely sucked into its world. No, in case you’re wondering, I have not finished it yet and thus I can’t give a whole review … Continue reading I Can’t Stop Playing Ghost of Tsushima
Paper Mario: The Origami King Review
I wasn’t clever enough to come up with a witty subhead, sorry. Author's Note: This is more of a script for a video than a written review of the game in question. I didn't want to just post a video and leave my reading audience out of it so I decided to post the script … Continue reading Paper Mario: The Origami King Review
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Review
*GameCube start-up noise* Early last year, I wrote one of my famous biased reviews for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is and always will be a very special game to me for all of the reasons I listed in that review. What’s truly odd about it is that, even though I love … Continue reading Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Review
Catherine: Full Body is Exactly What I Needed
If two’s company and three’s a crowd, what does that make four? This is not a review of Catherine: Full Body. I want to make that very clear upfront. I will not be covering the ins and outs of this game while providing thought-provoking analysis (as if I’ve ever done that, hah!). Instead, this post … Continue reading Catherine: Full Body is Exactly What I Needed
Yakuza 5 Remastered Review
The Dragon’s journey continues. Video version can be found here. It’s been almost three months and I haven’t talked about Yakuza at all during that time (excluding my Japanese Games on Xbox post of course) so I know many of you are worried about me. Never fear though since I’m here today to give you … Continue reading Yakuza 5 Remastered Review
Japanese Games on Xbox: Part 4
Yes, it’s that time again. Video version can be found here. The year is 2020 and it’s been nearly two years since my last post about Japanese games on Xbox so I figured it was high time to do another one of these. I know some of you are probably asking yourselves “Why is this … Continue reading Japanese Games on Xbox: Part 4
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy Review
I decided to try something a little different today with my review of the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy. Consequently, there will not be a written version. The structure of the review is such that it only works in video form. I hope you all enjoy watching it as much as I did making it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF7pdLe6LDQ … Continue reading Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy Review
