If your system can run the Witcher, then you must play it! The game checks all of the criteria you have listed: great graphics, great world, immersive story, etc. One of the best single-player experiences you can have - maybe one of the best ever. Have you ever played the Elder Scrolls? That's...

The Virtual Boy is what comes to mind first. What were they thinking with that? I suppose they thought that the novelty of "3-D" would justify the side effects that would inevitably come with using the headset. Its funny that we are sort of running into the same issues today with VR helmets...

Xenogears is a game desperately in need of a remake. The story being told in Gears is outstanding, but the limitations of the PS1 impairs the story's telling to a degree. The game was also unfinished, and the last half of the game feels like a visual novel, more than anything. If Xenogears were...

I've been putting hours into Mario Kart 8, mostly to get my money's worth out of the Switch. I can't wait to get Splatoon, because I am really wanting another experience on that console. I also have been continuing to slog through Persona 5, which is testing my patience a little bit...

This is a damning indictment of the failure that the Wii U was. It's hard to pinpoint the console's failure on a single element, but Nintendo's marketing was abysmal. The commercials that Nintendo ran for the Wii hardly even indicated that the Wii U was a console separate from the Wii, which was...

The PS2 was such an awesome console, and I can't possibly come up with an all time favorite. The Ratchet and Clank series comes to mind; those games were so good! The platforming was tight, the weapons were unique and different, and the shooting was good for a game of its genre. I wish the...

Many have complained that a PS4 version of SOTC is coming so recently after the PS3 remaster. I get that sentiment to an extent - developers should be innovating and making new games, right? At the same time, because this game is a genuine "remake" rather than a "remaster," I'm significantly...

The Nintendo Switch's unique mix of handheld and home console lends itself to innovation across all of Nintendo's franchises, but Pokemon is likely to be the most effected. Game Freak, in the past, steered clear of developing "mainline" Pokemon entries on consoles, citing that the heart of...

1. Metroid Prime To me, nothing beats Metroid Prime's exploration and atmosphere. I actually never got a chance to play the original Gamecube version, so the revamped version on the Wii was my first experience with the series. I know many people complained about the original controls, so I was...

Katamari Damacy is, by far, the weirdest game I have ever played. I have seen some equally weird titles out there, but Katamari is unique from these for the simple fact that it's actually a pretty good game on its own.

Crazy to think that this was news when it was announced. I wonder how high the price of games is going to climb. With inflation, I'm surprised that games didn't jump up to 70 this gen. I am almost certain it will happen relatively soon. I think considering inflation, games back in the 80s were...

I rarely dust mine off. When I do, it's just to use it as a Gamecube machine, as I no longer have my Cube. I guess I do have some virtual console games on there too. Whenever my brother comes over, I bust it out so we can play some Mario Party 2. I know you can transfer virtual console games to...

Completely agree with this. You need to find your niche, and then just practice. I know that isn't the sexiest advice, but there is no "overnight" solution for becoming a pro-level Overwatch player. Realistically, you just need to keep playing and improving. I also think watching Twitch is...

Every character has his or her niche. Whenever I get bored playing one of my mains, I am able to change to another character and keep things interesting. I dislike competitive because of how people focus on "meta" and discourage unusual character use, but in sticking to quick play, I get so much...

I love the escapism. Gaming is more immersive to me than movies or television, so whenever I want to escape the real world I use a good game to do so. Because of this, I gravitate towards RPGs. The more "established" worlds allow me to whisk away to a far-away place. I try to limit the amount I...
