I have a long history of being a coward when it comes to the horror genre. People typically peg me as someone likely to be in love with horror, but the scariest movie I watch every year on Halloween is Nightmare Before Christmas. Since becoming a game journalist, I’ve made a point to expand my […]

Wow, Eternals Actually Looks Like A Real Movie
Marvel dropped a big showreel yesterday, one dedicated to its past, present, and future. While the MCU juggernaut seemed unstoppable, the pandemic gave it its best shot, knocking the MCU out of its perfectly coordinated release schedule right on the heels of its greatest triumph in Avengers: Endgame.

A Sequel Could Actually Work For Fire Emblem: Three Houses Without Only One Path Being Canon
Considering that Fire Emblem: Three Houses was by far the most successful game in the series, there is real opportunity for expansion on this game, aside from the DLC. Though there are many fans that are looking for remakes of older games, I’d rather see a brand new game that builds on the stories and characters from […]
Skyrim: There Actually Aren’t 7,000 Steps To High Hrothgar

Beyond performing on a stage for thousands of people, Fallout as a franchise had, at that point, laid dormant for a long […]
Is Tom Nook actually a crook?
The question of whether Tom Nook is a nasty money-grubbing landlord, or a generous benefactor has plagued Animal Crossing fans since the first game’s release. Nook immediately ignited strong emotions by surprising the player with a mortgage — just some gaming fun for you! The counter-argument goes that Nook is good, because he has given […]
ARMS In Smash Actually Gives Hope For Waluigi & Rayman
Nothing says the start of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Pass 2 like the inclusion of a fighter from a three-year-old fighting game. The announcement that the next Super Smash Bros. fighter would be an ARMS character was one that confused us all. It was a very surprising move, and the fact that we know the series but […]
