While I've only played a handful on this list, Doki Doki Literature Club absolutely belongs here -- hands down. While I initially thought some surprises were spoiled for me going in, by the time I rea...

So I believe this article is saying that by going big with its cast and scope, Mass Effect lost the connectivity of its cast in terms of relationship depth. Perhaps so. But I would also argue the larg...

The red ring has been my laptop, google, and GameSpot icon for almost a decade and it's not going anywhere. For those in the know, it's eerily iconic. As a symbol of death, it also looks cool :)

Wanted to shoutout his (now overlooked) OSTs for FF6 and FF8. Alongside FF7, I feel these 3 OSTs showcase Uematsu at his absolute best. Definitely a musical trifecta for the FF saga during the 90s.Whi...

Here's the inside scoop on the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel: it's coming.

Saw it last week and it's good! Just as Better Call Saul was a solid companion piece to Breaking Bad, I would say the same of Furiosa with respect to Mad Max Fury Road. Unfortunately, because Furiosa ...

Though I was a huge CM Punk fan in the 2010s (the Pipebomb era), he has lost his luster with me. After his disastrous run in the UFC followed by his troubles at AEW, he has shown that he is A.) not a ...

@Wraith3: Indeed. Even a relatively recent film like Tropic Thunder probably can't be made anymore, which is a shame.

This might seem unrelated, but I will tie it all together.I think the proliferation of paid streaming has destroyed the concept of the zeitgeist show -- the show that EVERYONE is either watching or ta...

@illegal_peanut: I would be more inclined to agree with @merkhava. There's an inconvenient truth to hardcore PS gamers such as you and me: we're already part of Sony's ecosystem and hence will not gro...

Did Kojima direct this announcement trailer as well? The way he says "stayed tuned" at the end, followed by the camera's dramatic pan-out to reveal Columbia Picture's involvement, all had the cheese o...

@Tiwill44: To address your last paragraph, there are actually quite a few single player games that require the internet in order to have an optimal experience. Any Soulsborne game, the latest Hitman t...

@wbrabbit: I agree that gaming on a high-end laptop might entail the least amount of clutter and perhaps is the best way to take gaming on the road (besides the Switch). Maybe I'm just old school or s...

Lucy & Tamoor: Good discussion and analysis. Keep up the solid work!While the discussion here is more about subscriptions, I'm going to drill down on something Lucy emphasized: It is weird to thin...

Now that comic book films/shows have reached what looks to be a saturation point, it's now videogames time to bask in the Hollywood spotlight, as there's SO much content within gaming that has yet to ...

Here's hoping Vince Gilligan continues to find success in other projects so he doesn't have to revisit the Breaking Bad universe. He already did with Better Call Saul and actually succeeded, which is ...

Fatality Fail!

With the story now beyond Midgar, I understand how the open world of the next game will justify a longer playing time. One thing I liked about FF Remake (the first game) was actually its linearity and...
