Games I Can't Stop Playing: August 2014

I've mostly not playing the same games from July in August. And by mostly, I mean I've been sucked down The Binding of Isaac rabbit hole, only now I'm good enough for a quick game to take 20 minutes before I die, not five.

Extra Life 2014

This year, I will be participating in the Extra Life gaming marathon fundraiser. All my details are here. Extra Life is a charity event to raise funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. It all started back in 2008, when the Sarcastic Gamer Community decided to memorialize one of

Binding Tuesdays: 8/26/14

Each Tuesday, I'll be uploading a new run of The Binding of Isaac because something needs to motivate me to improve after over 100 hours of playing. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzayk9zSTuk&w=560&h=315]

Coming Soon: Until Dawn (PS4)

I like horror games. I'm pretty terrible at them, too. Until a few years ago, my reaction at a scare was to turn off the TV or monitor and wait for someone else to show up to turn off the console. I've gotten better and even

Games I Can't Stop Playing: July 2014

There's a good reason I held back on the publication of this by a week. I thought there was a chance I would acquire a PS4 this weekend and I was right. The significant bump in pay from the camp job gave me enough to get a PS4

Spoiler Alert Review

My review of Spoiler Alert just went up today at GIZORAMA. If the title sounds familiar, I wrote about the first game trailer a few months ago. It is a PC platformer played in reverse and it's really clever. Read the full review.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Is Going to be Huge

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth has been dropping little bits of knowledge here and there the past few months. Yesterday, we got some specifics from creator Ed McMillen himself. For those unaware, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a 16 bit reimagining of the breakout indie hit The Binding of

Pretentious Game Review (PC)

I don't know what to tell you. I really wanted to like this game. I played the original browser game forever ago and jumped on the opportunity to review the full release. I wish it was as good as the original game. Full review at GIZORAMA.

Games I Can’t Stop Playing: June 2014

June is almost over, so it's time to run down the games I can't stop playing right now. There are a few repeats, and a few new games, as well. Our Darker Purpose (PC) I wrote a whole lot about this roguelike adventure game last month.

Electronic Super Joy: Groove City Review

My new review is up over at GIZORAMA. It's the mini-sequel to Electronic Super Joy, one of the most entertaining and frustrating games I've ever played all the way through. The sequel is actually harder, but the significantly shorter length makes it a whole lot more

Tropes vs. Women in Video Games: Women as Background Decoration

Anita Sarkeesian's newest Tropes vs. Women in Video Games video is the strongest in the series yet. It's also the most upsetting and features a whole lot of violence against women and disturbing sexual content. She opens the video with a content warning, and I'

Coming Soon: Costume Quest 2: Trick or Treat

Costume Quest, the 2010 Halloween-themed RPG from Double Fine Productions, is one of my favorite games of all time. It's more than just the obvious reason (me being a Halloween obsessive). It's funny, it's clever, the combat is surprisingly nuanced for a turn-based RPG,

Quick Warning: Pretentious Game

Just a head's up. I'm supposed to have reviewed the PC adaptation of indie web/mobile game Pretentious Game for Gizorama already. I can't. The game does not work on Steam at all if you have a 64 bit system. It's been

The Most Important Thing You Need to Know About Mario Kart 8

This is a game changer, people. The newest entry in Nintendo's Mario Kart series lets you upload game-generated highlights reels (or complete races, for that matter) to YouTube. That way, I can point out things like this: the new Mario Kart lets you ride a carousel horse cart

Games I Can't Stop Playing: May 2014

I finally finished proctoring AP Exams today, so I can cement the content schedule for next week when I'm in Florida through Friday and then immediately jumping into PressManMode at Book Expo America. Just a quick post while I'm thinking about these things. I have a

Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails Review

I reviewed a new eShop game for the Wii U over at Gizorama. I loved everything about it except the user interface and the lack of any directions at all for an action/platformer game.

The Sneaky Scarecrow Strategy (*NSFW LoL) (Play It 2.05)

Play It's a day late this week, but it's a good one. I've been playing a lot of League of Legends with Double Damsels and the mysterious G and this felt like the time to show off what we do. It's NSFW

New Fatal Frame Game Coming to Wii U

No horror game series ever grabbed my interest and scared me quite as much as Fatal Frame. Sure, I prefer Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and even Illbleed, but neither of those continued after a first entry. Fatal Frame is all about the camera obscura. Essentially, developer Tecmo created
