We all have games that for one reason or another end up being put in the backlog, usually with the intention that we’ll get back to it after we finish up whatever we’re currently focusing on. For me, I seem to come across games that I begin playing and seem to enjoy enough before...kinda...stopping. What … Continue reading Doom 3 – Demons In The Darkness
This past week I sat down and played Ape Out, a game I had been wanting to play since it was released this past February. I absolutely love playing this game!

Several days ago I decided it would be fun to download another random indie game and share my thoughts about it as I did a few weeks ago with Coffee Crisis.

The 2019 MLB baseball season is finally here! Though The Show 19 has only been out for not even two weeks, I can already say this year's offering from San Diego Studios is looking to be one of the best ever. The most difficult thing for a developer has to be finding ways to make … Continue reading MLB The Show 19 – First Impressions
"Whether a parting be forever or merely a short time...that is up to you" These are the words given to you by the Happy Mask Salesman upon leaving Link and setting out across Termina Field. His words seemed applicable as The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask had taken me about a decade to finish and … Continue reading Thoughts on Majora’s Mask (after all these years)
One of the problems that come along with having a wide interest in different game genres is - You simply don't have time to play them all. Some games for one reason or another end up being put in the back log and you have to come back to them at a later time(sometimes much … Continue reading Catching Up On Games – Guacamelee!
