Sometimes it’s always nice to revisit the classics. The last time I talked about the original Quake was back in 2013. Quake is one of those games that I keep coming back to over the years. Yes, it shows its age when put up against many modern titles. Yet, it still manages to maintain a persistent charm. Recently, Bethesda Softworks...
It’s time to get serious! My recent review of Battlefield 1942 really had me itching for some more first-person action. So after combing through my backlog I came across the perfect title; Serious Sam – The First Encounter. This is a game that’s been sitting in my Steam library since 2013. I think it’s beyond time for me to blow...
I started my RPG catch-up project a little over a year ago. In that time, I’ve covered a number of retro RPG titles. One of the highlights of this project so far were my reviews of the Bard’s Tale Trilogy. As someone who grew up playing the Wizardry franchise, Bard’s Tale was an absolute blast from the past. It only...
This is a review that I’ve been wanting to write for a long time. I started this website nine years ago and over the course of that time I’ve discussed a lot of games. It’s no secret that RPGs are one of my biggest gaming passions. This may surprise many of you, but I love first person shooters just as...
It’s hard to think that this time last year I had all but quit playing Final Fantasy XIV. A lot has changed since then, and I’m not just talking about the game itself. For starters, my wife has recently started playing again after an almost eight year hiatus. In fact, so has my son! But that’s not all… After over...
Wow! It’s been over a month since my last game review and what a month it’s been! Aside from the normal craziness that comes with the Christmas season, here in the US we’ve also been dealing with the aftermath of the presidential election as well as a rise in pandemic cases. As a result, with the exception of going to...
Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve talked in detail about Final Fantasy XIV. I suppose that’s because I took a year off from the game! I know, that’s pretty hard to believe. Ever since the original launch of FFXIV 1.0, I’ve been an avid player. But after nine years of consistent playing, both the toxic community and the repetition...
Here’s a game review that’s been a long time coming. At last, I’m going to share my thoughts on the legendary Grand Theft Auto III. It’s been about two years since I reviewed the first two Grand Theft Auto games. And while those titles were classics in their own right, it was really GTA3 that made the series into the...
It has been nearly a year since I last posted an update for No Man’s Sky. That’s because it has taken that long for the developers to drop a new version. And boy, is this a big one! No Man’s Sky version 3.0 (aka: Origins) is finally available and there’s plenty of changes in store for players. It seems like...
I’m taking a break from the retro gaming to check out one of the hottest games in recent history. If you follow gaming at all, you’ve probably heard of Fall Guys. It’s a colorful, silly-looking battle royale game modeled after those ridiculous Japanese Game shows – and it’s taken the world by storm. When I was a kid, I spent...
