Video Games are art. Some people might try to fight that, but those people are wrong. Books, movies, paintings, and drawings are all examples of art, and of that's true (which it is), so are video games. With the rise of the AI, the state of the world as it is, questionable leadership in the gaming space,and the need for friends to help keep spirits up, the value of art in gaming is being questioned in a way that gamers don't enjoy. So now, more than ever Indie games are what

I've mentioned before about how much I love Cosmic/Lovecraftian horror, but I've also realized I enjoy what I like to call "Checkpoint games". Games who's main gameplay loop is looking at documents and deciding where a person/thing/entity goes. This, "Papers, Please", "No, I'm Not A Human", and "Quarantine Zone" all fit into the category, all of which I've enjoyed enough to play. Does this game sail into the harbor? Or does it sink into the rocks. STORY A strange aurora has a

Movies are an important part of my life. They have gotten me through rough time, happy times, sad times, and every other emotion. So to say I watch quite a few of them is an understatement. My coworker and I talk about how we think movies fit into 2 categories, Good and Entertaining. Good movies are the ones that tend to have a profound impact and get a lot of award nominations, while entertaining movies might not be the ones to go down as classics, but are fun as hell. I adm

As a physical game collector, I have a LOT of games I've never played, and throw in digital games and that number grows by....well way too much. I also am into a very wide range of genre's, meaning I want to play a LOT of those games. And no console has my attention as a collector like the PS3 does. Not only is it the first console in the PlayStation family to include trophies, but I fully believe the PS3/360 generation has some of the wildest and most imaginative games we've

DEVELOPER: The Chinese Room PUBLISHER: Secret Mode REVIEW WILL INCLUDE SOME SPOILERS All reviews are based on my personal enjoyment. Everybody has different opinions and taste in games and that's ok. "Walking simulator" is a term that gets thrown around when a game is mainly about getting from point A to Point B with minimal other activities involved. But where these games tend to shine are through story. Still Wakes the Deep is one of these "Walking sims" in the horror genre

2025 was an amazing year for games. Any genre you're into, there was an incredible game for you. This was no exception for me. I had trouble making a top 10 list because I really liked most of the games I played that released this year. 2 things you'll notice are, there aren't really many big name titles on the list that made most people's lists, and games that are 7/10 that I love like 10/10's. Indies really struck a chord for me this year in a way they haven't in a long tim

2025 sure was a year. I was happy, I was sad. I made mistakes. I hurt people I care about. I learned to forgive myself. I made memories, and of course.....I gamed. I missed this. Putting my thoughts down through written word....well....typed word....but you know what I mean. Usually I just podcast, which is great and I love doing it, I love talking, surprising nobody. But I really missed this. So it will be more common. I'm coming back baby! 2026 will see the blog come into i

I was on Twitter (I refuse to call it X) and a friend mentioned playing a game from last year that I absolutely loved but hardly ever saw...
