Boy! I first played God of War a little over a year ago. Everyone always raged about how good it was and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I got about an hour into the game and decided it wasn’t for me because I didn’t feel like playing through a whole … Continue reading God of War (2018) Review

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
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
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?
E3 2019
It just kept getting better and better. E3 was a wild ride this year. From missing companies to celebrity appearances, I think E3 2019 ended up being better than expected. No one asked for it but here are my grades and opinions for each conference (at least for the ones I watched). Enjoy! Conference Grades: … Continue reading E3 2019
Console Watch: 2018
Could we get a surprise in 2019? A year or two ago I joked to a friend that the PS5 would probably release in 2019. I was mostly joking since the PS4 was (and continues to be) on an amazing trajectory. I’m pretty sure the PS4 has soared past the 80 million mark and, although … Continue reading Console Watch: 2018
Sony and the Crossplay Conundrum
Why won’t Sony just play ball? Much has been said in recent months about Sony’s unwillingness to allow crossplay with Microsoft and Nintendo’s consoles. Indeed, the fervor over its stance reached a peak during E3 this year when Fortnite players discovered that their accounts made on their PS4’s couldn’t be used on the Switch. Although … Continue reading Sony and the Crossplay Conundrum
Console Wars: The Next Generation
Let us pull out our crystal balls and inevitably get everything wrong about the next consoles. This will serve as an informal discussion about what I think will happen during the imminent next generation of consoles and what each console manufacturer is currently doing that will carry over into the next gen. What challenges will … Continue reading Console Wars: The Next Generation
The Future Streaming Towards Us
TL;DR Companies want streaming games to be the future but I don’t think it will be viable for years to come. The game industry, perhaps more than any other, latches onto an idea and soon enough every company is chasing after it. Paying for online play, iterative console upgrades, season passes, Day One DLC, the … Continue reading The Future Streaming Towards Us
E3 2018 Predictions: The Big Three Edition
Whoever said Christmas comes only once a year obviously did not like video games. Author’s Note: As the title implies, this post will only focus on my predictions for the so-called big three; a.k.a. the three console manufacturers, a.k.a. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. Microsoft: It is no secret that Microsoft is substantially behind Sony in … Continue reading E3 2018 Predictions: The Big Three Edition
