After about a week of dedicated playing – something that isn’t too difficult with a dangerous virus on the loose – I finished Ori and the Will of the Wisps…and it blew my grossly-high expectations out of the water. Although I didn’t technically 100% the game (I ignored most of the random spirit light containers),… Continue reading

As if we didn’t already have enough battle royales available to players, Activision just released Call of Duty: Warzone for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Similar to Fortnite’s battle royale mode, Warzone is both a standalone game and an addition to the already existing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare –meaning that even a plebian like… Continue reading
When I heard that Respawn Studios would be creating a new limited time mode with fixed loot spawns, I immediately did a triple take (see what I did there?) One of the major unifying factors amongst all battle royale games is the concept of randomly-generated gear – opening a crate or walking into a building… Continue reading
Out of all the different types of games I’ve played in my relatively short time on this planet, there are few genres I like more than platformers.

Despite some initial technical hiccups, the Phantasy Star Online 2 closed beta managed to, in its short 31 hour runtime, become the most enjoyable gaming experience I’ve had in a very long time. As I mentioned in my previous article, I am no stranger to PSO2 or the Phantasy Star series (I have played Phantasy… Continue reading
For many of you, I’m sure you’ve never heard of Phantasy Star Online 2 or even the Phantasy Star series; so don’t worry, you’re not alone. Even when Phantasy Star Online released for the Dreamcast and was eventually ported over to the Nintendo Gamecube, the critically acclaimed game never truly achieved a household name. I… Continue reading
Let’s face it: jungle has, throughout its history, gotten the short end of the Riot stick. Since it is a position unique in both design and nature, balancing such a role has proved time and time again to be one of the development team’s most baffling hurdles –resulting in frequent and often extreme changes to… Continue reading
Oversaturation is not a new concept in business. When a product garners a lot of attention and is wildly successful, there will absolutely be companies vying to replicate that product and consequently reap the rewards. In some instances, a company can indeed ride the tailwind of a prosperous product and profit significantly. In many cases,… Continue reading
As a gamer, I tend not to maintain the best dietary habits. If I’m loot-deep in Borderlands 3 or busy grinding ranked solo/duos in League of Legends, I don’t exactly have the want or the will to make a home cooked meal. The time spent boiling water or heating up the stove could instead be… Continue reading
The new year is upon us at last, which means the time for the fifth and final DLC character on the Super Smash Bros Ultimate fighter pass to be announced has arrived.
