When I examine my list at the end of a new Ranking, I’m always ashamed that Dead Cells isn’t number one. There is another Rogue… Continue reading An Examination Featuring Thousands of Dead Cells

To reward myself, I decided I’d do the same with the Arkham games, starting with Batman Arkham Asylum. I originally played BAA when it released, and I played it on the Xbox 360. I was living in… Continue reading Batman Arkham Asylum
Everyone has a process, okay? Some writers choose a time of day to write, like early morning or after work. Some artists have to do pushups before they can draw. I don’t know? Sometimes people put pants on and then they’re good to go. Me? I like to tell myself I’m not going to and… Continue reading Ori and the Blind Forest

After Metroid Fusion I was excited about playing Circle of the Moon. I was wrong. In Circle of the Moon, I controlled Nathan Graves, who was a student to some man called Morris Baldwin. Dracula’s castle emerged. Sensee took me and his son Hugh to deal with the bastard. Hugh wasn’t good enough to wield… Continue reading Castlevania Circle of the Moon
Earlier this year I was playing a lot of Hollow Knight. I wrote about the Metroidvania in Hollow Knight. I intended to write about the Dark Souls in Hollow Knight, but I didn’t get around to it, and I’m not going to end a third sentence with the same pronoun. In that piece, I talked… Continue reading Metroid Fusion
