Samurai and demons and princesses, oh my! Whenever a remaster of a classic game releases on modern hardware and is reviewed positively, one has to wonder if nostalgia plays a large part in it. While I believe this does happen sometimes, I can assure you all that this is not the case with this review. … Continue reading Onimusha: Warlords Review

FAR: Lone Sails Review
A thoughtful journey about what we leave behind. FAR: Lone Sails is a lonely journey through a world that is past its prime. You play as a red-clad individual (the game never really specifies if it’s human or not) who must guide a large homemade vehicle through the remains of what once was a highly … Continue reading FAR: Lone Sails Review
Xbox @ E3 2019
Demonstrating potential. It is only April but I wanted to get a jump on all the E3 speculation. In case you missed the news, Sony won’t be attending E3 this year (for the first time ever). Nintendo will be doing their usual E3 Direct but won’t have a traditional show so that leaves Microsoft as … Continue reading Xbox @ E3 2019
A Google Stadia Hot Take
Tim’s immediate thoughts on Google’s streaming platform. If you like video games and don’t live under a rock, then you most likely know that Google recently announced a new video game streaming service. No, I’m not talking about a platform that allows you to stream your games for other viewers. I’m talking about a service … Continue reading A Google Stadia Hot Take
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Special Episode Review
It’s time for adventure…again! In 2018, I gave Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker a Pretendie for Most Fun Game. Therefore, I was excited when Nintendo revealed that there would be DLC for the game called the Special Episode. I have since purchased said DLC and I have to say that it is just as fun as … Continue reading Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Special Episode Review
Ape Out Review
Bustin’ out. I must admit to you all that I’m more of a story guy when it comes to video games. I thoroughly enjoy being engrossed in a grand tale in a video game. That’s just the way I am. Every once in a while, however, a game comes along where its great gameplay sucks … Continue reading Ape Out Review
Inside Xbox Sucks
It really, truly does. In case you didn’t know (and God bless you if you don’t), Microsoft has a monthly show featuring news for its erstwhile console called Inside Xbox. At least it’s supposed to include news. It usually devolves into cringeworthy dialogue, mock interviews, and the hyping up of small and insignificant things. I’ve … Continue reading Inside Xbox Sucks
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Biased Review
Author’s Note: I don’t have many screenshots of the game since my Xbox One decided not to save any of them for some reason. Only two survived from my original playthrough: the two end game stat screens. In order to get more screenshots, I played the game again for a few minutes from the beginning. … Continue reading Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Biased Review
Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! Review
The nostalgia is strong in this one. There’s a scene at the end of Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! (minor spoiler ahead) where it shows your character, the freshly minted Pokémon Champion, going back home. This scene strongly resonated with me since it perfectly summed up my feelings for the game. I had finally come home. … Continue reading Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! Review
The Future of the Pretend Gamer
What does 2019 have in-store? For those who don’t know (which would be odd considering you’re reading this on my blog), I have been writing about video games for the past six months or so. I have had a good time with it and I hope you all have enjoyed what I have to say … Continue reading The Future of the Pretend Gamer
