Mike shares some important things he's learned as a 'Souls' newbie when playing the Demon's Souls remake on PlayStation 5.


What Are You Playing During the Outbreak? - November 2020 Edition

It's a pretty weird and unsettling time in this world of ours right now. With many of us hunkering down at home, things can get downright boring at times. Fortunately, if you're someone who enjoys videogames, you likely have a backlog of games to play through or even some new titles to play in the coming days and weeks. These are some of the titles I'm playing this month.


Godfall is a Looter to Keep an Eye On

Despite being disappointed over and over, even as recently as Marvel's Avengers, I'm still curious to see if the next one will succeed where others have failed. And that's where Godfall comes in.


What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Instead of opining on something this week, I thought I'd write about what I'll be playing this weekend! Weekends for me are the only time I really get to dig in and game these days. Sometimes I'll play a couple of different things, but this weekend I'll be focused on (hopefully) finishing my latest project: a replay of Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions, using a fan mod called Valeria.


Unlikely Game Sequels I'd Like to See

It's been a wild couple of years on this front and while I'm mostly satisfied at this point, there are some games that still haven't (and probably never will) see sequels. These are just a couple of sequels I'd still like to see.

Marvel's Avengers dearth of content and recently announced delays have left its live service running on fumes. Mike offers his thoughts on the game's difficult situation.


From Rookie to Ace: Tips for Star Wars: Squadrons

The successor to X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter is finally here and it's pretty damn good. But a simple arcade game it is not. Star Wars: Squadrons isn't a hardcore flight sim, but its flight model and mechanics necessitate a bit more nuance than something like Starfighter Assault in Star Wars: Battlefront II. These are some tips to help you go from rookie to ace.


What Are You Playing During the Outbreak? - October 2020 Edition

It's a pretty weird and unsettling time in this world of ours right now. With many of us hunkering down at home, things can get downright boring at times. Fortunately, if you're someone who enjoys videogames, you likely have a backlog of games to play through or even some new titles to play in the coming days and weeks.


Next Gen Decisions: What Are Your Plans?

A new generation in gaming! It's an exciting time full of possibilities, but also some decisions to make, unless you've got tons of cash burning a hole in your pocket and you can buy everything. These are my thoughts on the next gen options available.


The Final Fantasy XVI Reveal Blew My Mind, But Also Left Me A Bit Concerned

The long rumored Final Fantasy XVI was finally unveiled at the PlayStation 5 Showcase this week and there are lots of interesting aspects to the announcement. Beyond the topline fact that we are getting a new mainline entry to the Final Fantasy series (!), it's notable that the game is being developed by Creative Business Unit III, which is Naoki Yoshida's team.


What Are You Playing During the Outbreak? - September 2020 Edition

It's a pretty weird and unsettling time in this world of ours right now. With many of us hunkering down at home, things can get downright boring at times. Fortunately, if you're someone who enjoys videogames, you likely have a backlog of games to play through or even some new titles to play in the coming days and weeks. These are some of the titles I'm playing this month.


Marvel's Avengers Launch is Channeling That Anthem Energy

I was hoping I wouldn't have to write this article, but I always knew it was a possibility. Marvel's Avengers launched this week and for better and worse, I'm having a real sense of Anthem déjà vu.


Tips For Starting Out in Wasteland 3

Wasteland, the venerable post-apocalyptic series of RPGs by inXile Entertainment, launched its third installment this week and it may be the best one yet. These are some tips for starting out in Wasteland 3.


Marvel's Avengers: Avengers I'd Like to See Added

Marvel's Avengers September 4th launch is coming up pretty shortly here and the recent announcement of Hawkeye as DLC character has wheels spinning in my head. What other characters would I like to see added to the game? These are some of my picks.
