Fire Emblem: Three Houses Review

Author’s Note: I wrote but never published this review nearly four years ago. I thought about rewriting the whole thing but decided against it. I wanted to preserve my feelings about the game from when I played it back in 2019. The original text is all here except for a few changes I made. So, … Continue reading Fire Emblem: Three Houses Review →

Axiom Verge Review

I couldn't think of anything clever to write for the subhead so just pretend something witty is written here. I was in the mood for something different the other day and so I decided to try out a game in the Metroidvania genre. The only Metroidvania type of game I’ve ever played is Star Wars … Continue reading Axiom Verge Review →

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 →

The Nintendo Strategy

Sailing towards a blue ocean. After more than 200 days, Nintendo finally deigned to release a Direct showcasing the company’s plans for 2020. In case you don’t know, a Nintendo Direct is a livestream (or simply a video) Nintendo releases to show off the games coming to the Switch (or whatever console happens to be … Continue reading The Nintendo Strategy →

Is E3 Dying?

Video Version can be found here. The short answer is no. There, I saved you some time. Discussion about the Electronic Entertainment Expo’s, a.k.a. E3’s, inevitable demise is nothing new. People have been saying for years that the show is either not relevant or will die off any day now. The show has been around … Continue reading Is E3 Dying? →

Astral Chain Review

Video version can be found here. Partners in justice. This review for Astral Chain has been the most difficult review I’ve ever written. Not because I don’t know what to say but because it’s never been this hard to settle on a final score. Spoiler alert: the final score will be an eight out of … Continue reading Astral Chain Review →

My Gaming Biases

Video version can be found here. Let’s get to know each other, shall we? A sudden realization dawned on me the other day while I was pondering the meaning of life: I’ve never discussed my gaming preferences with my blogging audience. Today, I aim to fix that. Since you all trust me to be your … Continue reading My Gaming Biases →

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Review

Author's Note: Since I don't have a capture card for my 2DS XL, I only have pictures of the game taken with my cell phone. The quality is iffy to say the least but it gets the job done. Merge away. Link’s Awakening on the Switch did something to me last year. It gave me … Continue reading The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Review →

Yoshi’s Crafted World Review

Author's Note: You can find the video version here. It’s a-me, Yoshi. Not since Yoshi’s Story on the N64 have I played a Yoshi game. I couldn’t tell you exactly why I decided to pick up Yoshi’s Crafted World but, if I had to guess, it was probably for the art style. It is, in … Continue reading Yoshi’s Crafted World Review →
