I've been toying with writing up articles on the best valued Video Games in specific categories. I think its worth discussing because as the price of games rises - at least here in Canada, where a new released comes in at 79.99 - 84.99 compared to 59.99 a few years ago - what we can afford as consumers drastically decreases. We go for value in our games. Value for an individual is often not a constant. For one person, an amazing story has lots of value, regardless of how long the game takes.

Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #10: Video Games Don’t Need Stories
One of my early entries to this column said that every video game needed a story. Now I’m back to give you the opposite position: Video Games don’t need stories! Tetris, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros, and many other games do not have stories. After my last article about video games needing stories, I had some people say, ” Ya, but this game doesn’t have one.” And its true. Not all video games need stories. In fact, I’ll just…
Read MoreMicrosoft Wants to Connect to Playstation
You have to think it was going to happen eventually, but in my opinion, I thought that this would have come as one of the two console giants began to struggle. However, I think Microsoft gets the extra boost of credit as it appears as if they are reaching out to Sony to make this happen. One of the first games to get this treatment: Rocket League.

Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #9: Virtual Reality Will Never Work
Virtual Reality will never work! Want to hear my totally uninformed opinion of current day VR? Read on! Virtual Reality is just a gimmick. There I said it. I know I’ll make some people upset with this opinion. There are people who love VR and want it to work. For some reason. I just do not get why. Back in the 90s, I went to a car show and tested out a virtual reality simulator. I thought it was neat,…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #7: Sony and Microsoft Have Seen Better Days
I use to be a fan of Sony and Microsoft. I liked the PS1-3 and I liked Xbox and 360. Recently though, I’ve become a Nintendo only gamer. What happened? Why did I give up on Sony and Microsoft? Let me tell you about it. Once upon a time, I decided to get a Playstation 1 instead of a Nintendo 64. I loved Nintendo, but the PS1 seemed like the better system. I did get a Gamecube and a Wii,…
