• NHL 27 - PS5 Review

  • NBA 2K27 - PlayStation 5 Review

    With these annual seasonal renewals of the sports season comes the related video games as well, and the question reviewers such as myself always face is this: Is this year’s game worth purchasing one year after the last one? My answer? Yes, absolutely. NBA fans are going to almost certainly enjoy NBA 2K27.

  • Midnight Moments - PC Steam Review

    Midnight Moments is a cozy cyberpunk diorama-building game that is stunning. Unlike games that require you to complete quests or take out assailants or even solve challenging puzzles, this one only requires one thing: imagination.

  • Isle of Reveries - PC Review

    Isle of Reveries is a top down 2D action adventure game that made my nostalgia for old school Zelda games flare up really hard. A good blending of puzzle, exploration, and combat, Isle of Reveries is a wonderful title to experience inside and out.

    Let me tell you about this cozy game my daughter and I are playing together called Outbound.

The best Mother's Day gift for myself and my first ever collector's edition in a physical copy!

What Makes a Game Memorable?

Nostalgia is a strange thing. Sometimes I swear things remain important to me because of a specific event or a feeling attached more than the game itself. Slow paced tactical experiences of Civilizations and Disgaea, faster paced platformers like Tiny Toons and Shovel Knight, to epic length RPGs like Lunar Silver Star Story / Eternal Blue and Nier make up so many hours of my life but all had lessons to impart. If you fail over and over again, maybe it’s time for break or a different game!

What makes a game memorable? (Part 3) - Gaming Thoughts

, , ,
I played my first video game at the age of four, that being Skyroads on my dad's ancient MS-DOS machine. Just a few weeks after my seventeenth birthday, I quit from the gaming scene. Tony Hawk's Project 8 on the PlayStation 2 was the last game I played before retiring - forging no interesting memories. I sold off my original PlayStation, PlayStation 2, my entire collection of games which amounted to approx 110, and hid away my Game Boy Advance to the darkest area of my cupboard. Since I wasn't a dedicated PC gamer as I'm now, I didn't had to format my computer. This hiatus lasted four years, from 2009-2013.

What makes a game memorable? (Part 2) - Gaming Thoughts

Memories are a funny thing.  If asked to describe myself, I’d say I’m a pretty solitary gamer.  I enjoy single player epics like Red Dead Redemption, Assassin’s Creed, The Witcher, anything Bioware puts out.  I tend to stay away from online play, even in games that are seemingly made for it.  But when I look back at the moments that really stand out for me, it is a far different story.

Gaming nostalgia is a very powerful thing indeed. Sometimes we recall games more fondly than they probably still deserve. Other times it gives us an incredible amount of loyalty towards a series, even if sometimes it stumbles now and again. For those of us who have been gaming for a while now, there are usually a handful of distinct moments where it just 'stuck'. The team is going to take a look back into the past - our own sort of personal Retro Reflections if you will - and recall some of those more distinctive moments.
