There are a lot of games on sale via the PS4 PSN shop right now. When I had the chance to pick up a couple of games for Christmas, one of the games I got was No Man’s Sky. I’ve wanted to get that game for awhile now. The price was finally right and so I got it, downloaded it, and now I’ve played it a bunch. What do I think of the game so far? No Man’s Sky is…

You unwrapped the packaging and saw this awesome monolith within. Like 2001: A Space Odyssey, you and your family danced around it, screeching to high heaven. No? Just at mine then? Still – you got that Xbox you wanted, and that’s pretty cool too. Maybe you got the black tower-like Series X, or maybe you received the adorable Series S. Either way, you got it set up (you used the mobile app to do your settings while you waited for…

Did Santa manage to get you a PS5 this Christmas? You’re not alone. In fact, the jolly old fat man has been hoarding these things pretty solidly. I’m not sure how we move forward knowing St Nick is a dirty scalper, but it’s not the only horror of 2020, so let’s move on. The important thing isn’t how you got it, but that you got it at it. Take in its awesome size. Take in its white, plasticky sheen. Look…

I have spent quite a bit of time this year getting my hands dirty with Nioh 2 and it’s expansions. Much of which has been an enjoyable experience into a game style I typically don’t enjoy much. The final DLC expansion came out last week titled The First Samurai. The First Samurai expansion will add the “Dream of Nioh” difficulty, along with new Guardian Spirits. The DLC expansion will also feature new yokai for players to encounter, such as the…

Minecraft Dungeons was a revelation for me earlier this year. It took a style of game I love — Diablo 3 is one of my favorite games of last-gen — and combined it with a property I couldn’t care less about. Would I care about a kid-ified version of a loot-based dungeon crawler? The answer to this rhetorical question was a resounding “yes!” I couldn’t stop playing the game until I beat it, again and again, going through the core…

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! This time I share my thoughts about this year in video games and just how lucky video game fans were compared to, oh say movie fans or tv show fans. Time to reflect and hug your video games or you know, thank a video game developer. Well, we made it to the holidays. Its been a bad year. I think most of us can agree that 2020 sucked and we never want to see it again.…

I am confident I'm not alone in my struggle to find any of the newly released consoles. Luckily, Walmart is beginning to acknowledge the issue of bots and has updated its security software accordingly.

GRAVEN is an immersive, dark fantasy first person adventure with a late-90s graphical aesthetic

The Little Big Planet franchise has been one of the most iconic franchises on PlayStation consoles, and when rumours popped up regarding another adventure featuring Sackboy, I’m sure some fans were excited for the possibilities. I’m sure many folks were not ready for the Sackboy they ultimately got, but after beating the entire game with my kids, it’s ultimately Sackboy at his best!
