When you spend a good chunk of your life frolicking in virtual playgrounds, you tend to develop some habits whether you want to or not.

Game in Review: Animal Crossing Edition
April 10, 2020
It’s almost eerie how well “Animal Crossing New Horizons” fits into the quarantine lifestyle, for both those sheltering in place and the essential workers on the frontlines. A roleplaying game with a lot of heart, it offers a simple task-based gameplay that advances the development of an island...

Give Video Game Music Some More Love
January 31, 2020
Back in early October, I made the case to music editor Skye that VGM deserves more attention and respect.

Digging for Treasure, Part 5
December 6, 2019
To say that there are a lot of games out there would be the understatement of the century. So many games come out each year that it’s impossible to keep up with them all; meaning that many of them fly under the radar.

Getting Lost and Loving It, Part Two
November 14, 2019
In part one, I discussed how there’s a difference between games that look great and games that have interesting worlds. To illustrate my point, I focused on two of the more impressive maps from “Monster Hunter World” and demonstrated how they depict environments unlike anything that can be foun...
