Sonic CD – The Most Creative 2D Platformer Of All Time?
Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles are the games most people think of when they hear classic Sonic. Well, that and possibly Sonic Mania, or now Sonic Mania Plus. But possibly the best of the original games also happens to be the one that gets the least attention: I’m talking about Sonic CD. Released for the undersold, quirky Sega CD, Sonic CD was a hidden gem. Its lack of attention can most likely...
Sony Shamed By Minecraft
Well everybody, it’s finally happened! If you follow me at all, you know I absolutely love my Minecraft. Don’t believe me? Check out my full review of the Minecraft: Switch edition here. The Minecraft Bedrock Edition Update dropped for Switch! It actually dropped sometime between 10pm MDT (6-20-2018) and 1am MDT (6-21-2018). I can’t recall the time exactly, because I was playing ...
How Slot and Casino Games Evolved in Gaming
Slot and other casino games came a long way from being only available in land-based casinos to being available to anyone who has a smartphone in their pocket. But this process of evolution did not only make slot and casino games available to everyone around the globe, no, it has also distanced them from gambling and turned them into a gaming activity. Slot and casino games slowly evolved into gami...
The Emulation Situation
I think it’s safe to assume that most gamers have dabbled in emulation at one point or another. It’s a quick and easy way to play rare, foreign, and classic games. It is also a handy way to keep all of those games together without taking up a lot of physical space. To its detractors, emulation is as bad as stealing. You’re playing a game you didn’t pay for on hardware the c...

Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion Has Something To Say About Race, Acceptance and Our Right To Exist
*Needless to say, spoilers abound. Proceed with caution, fresh cephalopods* One thing I’ve always found fascinating about Splatoon’s narrative is how deep below the surface it is. To the casual player, it’s a simple online shooter. But dig a little deeper, and there’s some really touching plot that most players may never experience. The core story, the Splatoon “timel...

Super Mario Party Announced For Switch – A Return To Form?
Super Mario Party has been revealed as the next installment of the Mario Party franchise, and it looks… good? It’s been a while since Mario Party games have played like old-school entries in the series, which has been a point of contention amoung some older gamers. It seems this next entry might attempt to appeal to that original audience a bit more, as a distinct lack of gimmicks seem...
