11.11.2022

10.11.2022
Usually, you play a few hours of a game and you can confidently give your thoughts on it. Not a full review or anything, but you can usually say, “Oh yeah, that’s a good one” or “Nah, pass, it’s awful” or something like that. But not Sonic Frontiers. A few hours in and I’m not sure at all what...

9.11.2022
In the new God of War games, Kratos is more mature and less angry. But before he was the Dad of War, he was a big asshole willing to kill anyone or let people die—often in horrible ways—if it meant he could continue his quest. And one poor soul, a nameless boat captain, encountered the terrible...

I am obligated to report that Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty is over 20 years old. I may not want to think about that, but here we are. The original visual aesthetic has a wonderful PS2-era charm that I think has become rather endearing in its age. But that hasn’t stopped one modder from...
