Back in my college days, I would always treasure my small reunions with high school friends during break. In these get-togethers, rowdy college stories were the commodity amongst my friend group and approving laughter was the currency to be exchanged. But storytime was always anxiety-inducing for me; even with my own wacky and gonzo adventures

For a lot of us, video games are one of the best forms of escapism. No matter what might be going on in your actual life, games can often provide a means of distraction that allow you to, perhaps only for a few hours at a time, forget about everything else and just focus on
In 2016, Tom Clancy’s: The Division had players running through a haunting recreation of a pandemic ridden New York City. Fast forward to March 2020, and the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a very real pandemic that is spreading throughout the US and creating a hot bed of sickness in New York City. The situation has
Since many folks around the world have now quarantined themselves in their homes to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, this is arguably the best time in modern history to do nothing else but play video games. For many, this newfound free time may allow them to pick up some games from yesteryear that they’ve
With the growing concerns over the coronavirus outbreak across the world, things are certainly stressful and uncertain right now for everyone around the world. Thankfully, video games have been able to help take us out of dark times before, and with so many countries turning to shelter in place orders and more drastic measures, gaming
Surprise! Today, a new Nintendo Direct Mini was finally shown giving us a glimpse of what to expect in the next few months. While some of the announcements may not be too surprising, there are some great games coming to the Nintendo Switch as early as… today. Here are all the announcements from today’s Nintendo
Doom Slayer’s newest adventure, Doom Eternal, is not the only Doom game launching tomorrow. A port of the Nintendo 64’s Doom 64 will also be available on your digital storefront of choice. This release means every main entry (save for Final Doom) is now available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. But is this
Judging from my glowing review, It’s no secret that I enjoyed Persona 5 Royal immensely. Video Manager Mario Rivera and I talk in-depth about the updated re-release to one of the most popular JRPGs released in 2016 in our Person 5 Royal review discussion. As heard in the video below, it’s clear as day that
The Nintendo Switch is far from being in short supply of excellent games anytime soon, and that is especially the case when it comes to indie games. The Switch has managed to establish itself as a flourishing ground for indie gaming from around the world, and the latest Indie World presentation from Nintendo showed that
When observing with a long-running and venerable series such as The Legend of Zelda, it isn’t difficult to see how it becomes slavish to a formula that has slowly developed over time. For that reason, entries like Majora’s Mask and Breath of the Wild instantly stand out for their incongruent and formula-breaking nature. Yet one
Since 2013, The Last of Us has become a video game phenomenon with acclaim from both critics and fans. For years after, we knew that Sony and Naughty Dog were trying to develop the IP into a movie, but the project never gained any significant traction. After waiting for any updates regarding the film, we
Whether you watch Twitch, Mixer, or YouTube Gaming, video and live streaming has become the predominant way to enjoy your favorite gaming content. As the arena of video content expands, so does its chaos and noise. With hundreds or thousands of fans tuning in, live stream comments become impossible to read, and Discord channels are
Street Fighter V was originally released at the beginning of the current console generation. Throughout its life cycle, there have been both ups and downs, with the game overall getting relatively good support throughout the years. Most recently, it has expanded to 40 characters, 30 stages (34 if you count the 4 DLC stages), and
Usually, when a game launches into early access, I do my best to admire it from afar. It’s not that I have anything against playing games still in active development. It’s just that I worry if I dive into an early access game, I won’t want to play the final version. The sheer number of
Usually, when a game launches into early access, I do my best to admire it from afar. It’s not that I have anything against playing games still in active development. It’s just that I worry if I dive into an early access game, I won’t want to play the final version. The sheer number of
The Yakuza Remastered Collection’s release marks an auspicious moment for the series. For the first time ever, you can now play the entire series from start to finish on the PS4. That alone is reason enough to grab a PS4 in my eyes, even as the console generation comes to a close. Western markets took
Granblue Fantasy Versus is the newest fighting game by Arc System Works and Cygames. It is incredibly approachable, making it a great competitive game for beginners. However, don’t mistake its approachability for lack of depth. There is a lot to learn within its accessible shell, and this Granblue Fantasy Versus guide will give you a
While PAX East 2020 had some notable last minute absences from the show floor such as PlayStation, what the convention didn’t lack was a breadth of indie games to choose from. PAX has always held its reputation of being a treasure trove of incredible indie gaming experiences, and PAX East this year was certainly no
Larian Studios has finally peeled back the curtain on the gameplay of their upcoming opus, Baldur’s Gate 3. Hosting a panel at PAX East, fans slowly shuffled into the large room, anxiously waiting to sink their teeth into the newest entry of this fabled franchise. Over an hour later, I left that panel, and damn it,
Metro Redux, a two-game collection that includes the remasted versions of critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic first-person-shooters Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, is available on Nintendo Switch as of now. 2010’s Metro 2033 and 2013’s Metro: Last Light join a plethora of games that are being ported over to Nintendo’s hybrid system following its overwhelming success with consumers. However,
Of all the games that are releasing in 2020, few come with the kind of emotional weight and baggage that Final Fantasy VII Remake has. While there are plenty of anticipated games, new installments of beloved franchises, and a few other high-profile remakes on the way, Final Fantasy VII Remake is attempting to deliver a
The newest iteration of Samurai Shodown is one of my favorite modern fighting games. Along with Mortal Kombat 11 and Tekken 7, it is the reason I really began loving the genre. Its slow and intense combat, along with its brilliant cartoonish art style is such a departure from what we’ve become accustomed to with
In previous years, FIFA Ultimate Team promos were exciting times for the community. Maybe you completed some objectives or finished an SBC to get new players into your team. Or maybe you got very, very lucky and packed one of the promo players. However, the promos only hit once or twice a month, which gave
I can weirdly remember the first time I heard about Yakuza. I was at Wal-Mart, waiting for my mom to finish grocery shopping. Our ongoing deal was that if I went to the store with her and carried her groceries, she would buy me a magazine. So, I was flicking through the latest issue of
No matter how many times it happens in life, change is always around the corner. Sometimes it comes to us at the perfect moment, while other times it’ll come at the worst time. One game that tackles the concept of change is Florence, published by Annapurna Interactive and developed by first-time developer Mountains. The game
Devil May Cry 3 on Switch is fantastic. Of course, that was true of the game for its original PS2 release and has remained true regardless of what system or version you’re playing on. As such, it’s nice to see that the Switch port is no exception to that rule. While some could make a
Daemon x Machina was first announced in June 2018 on Nintendo Switch by Marvelous. I was pretty hyped right then, as Macross‘ Shoji Kawamori was handling the mecha design. He is one of the best mecha designers and authors there is and definitely holds a top spot when it comes to sci-fi authors whose works
In late 2015, I went out on a whim and picked up Persona 4 Golden for my Vita during one of the PlayStation Store’s year-end sales. Most of this purchase came down to the fact that I had heard nothing but raves from friends and colleagues about the game, and the series as a whole.
Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, the latest mainline entries in the Pokemon franchise, released on Nintendo Switch late last year. Sword and Shield made many changes to the Pokemon formula, including making it easier than ever to battle competitively. Millions play Pokemon casually, but the battle system is actually a lot deeper than it appears at first glance.
Can you believe Ubisoft’s tactical shooter, Rainbow Six Siege, is in its fifth year of content? While it may not have the appeal of a Call of Duty entry, the popular game has garnered a very stable and passionate community since it launched back in 2015. The Rainbow Six Siege Y5S1 update (titled “Void Edge”)
