just wanna say that though I have not played this game and have no intention of ever doing so, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. regardless of how one may ultimately feel about this particular title, the fact that a video game can spark discussion of some of the topics brought up here is fascinatin...

just posted in the Whatcha Playing thread about Rolling Gunner, which I've just started. I like it.

I'd like to get excited about the new Cotton games, but honestly, nothing I've seen makes them seem like must-plays for me. we'll see how Rock n' Roll develops.

got acquainted with Rolling Gunner with a quick playthrough in Novice mode and I was happy with my purchase pretty much instantly. the actual 'rolling gun' mechanic is cool and sure to be a fun challenge to master, the visuals are nice and don't suffer from the simplistic, digital-toy look (for lack...

Lonely Mountains Downhill I'm not into mountain biking at all, but I read this game had a kind of peaceful, calming effect in the reviews, and I'm happy to say that's true. (well, calming for everything but my left thumb, which gets more of a workout than usual from hugging all those curves!) it's ...

this is great d|-_-|b

I've got three: 1. I don't spend more than $20 on digital games, so they pretty much have to be on sale for me to bite. I set this rule after being burnt taking a chance on a couple titles and realizing there's nothing I can do to recoup that cost. plus, spending basically the same amount of $$ I'd ...

whoa -- I'm disappointed to hear about Sound of Play's hiatus, but I understand your reasons. it's been great to be exposed to music (and games) I wasn't familiar with, as well as to revisit older favorites I hadn't heard in a while. I hope the show will return in some form in the future! if this th...

I’m honestly a bit baffled by the reception to this game. I wonder if I played the same title everyone else has. It took some time, but I eventually got used to the visuals. I think the actual designs are pretty strong, and I like the classic trio’s updated looks. Unfortunately, the animation is kin...

Frosty Putter: Chicago, USA
I could totally see someone guessing it was in the UK, though.

oh, and Brian was right; ice cream was indeed a big part of the menu!

I've really enjoyed the brief time I've spent so far with ScourgeBringer . after giving up on Dead Cells awhile back for its frankly disrespectful difficulty on higher levels, this is really scratching that same itch. the combat is really zippy and sharp, the animation is cool, and the way the music...

I first discovered the music of Yoko Kanno through her futuristic art pop soundtrack for the anime Macross Plus . I eventually realized that was just the tip of an insanely huge iceberg. Among her many, many other projects—and stylistically worlds away from the most popular of them—are OSTs for seve...

wanted to try something different and get out of America for a while, so I started a series on Netflix called 'Dogs of Berlin.' focuses on a handful of cops and criminals all connected through one particular football match between Germany and Turkey. (as an American, I'm fascinated by the passion al...

...ok, so all of my previous criticisms of Strider are still valid, IMO, but I am enjoying the game's positive aspects the more I play. the set pieces are quite cinematic — it feels like I'm playing an action movie (without the QTEs). and the voice acting is entertaining, as well; this is some of th...

Strider (PS4) I gave up on my initial playthrough of this years ago after I got stuck inside of a wall :/ there haven't been any game-breaking bugs this time, but the game is still just ...ok. there are times when you really do feel like you're controlling the ultimate in elite assassins, but tight...

recently watched Malcolm & Marie , the new Netflix drama with Zendaya and John David Washington (Tenet). it's a pretty intense look at one night in a relationship between two passionate, damaged people. great performances from both actors, with lots of long, one-take shots and interesting camera...

one of the best things about growing up in the arcades of the 80s and 90s was the innocence and mystery of a pre-internet world. games just appeared magically with no warning, no hype, nothing. every trip to the arcade came with the possibility of an earth-shattering, pocket-emptying discovery. one ...

most people who bought Tobal No. 1 for the original PlayStation were probably just after the Final Fantasy VII demo disc it came with. but Tobal itself was a fun, unique 3D fighter that deserved more love than it got. that goes double for its sequel. a preview in Diehard Gamefan magazine had me hype...

I think Giovanna's design alone might get me to check that game out. I wanted to get Xrd Sign when it released and just never got around to it. no desire at all to get destroyed online, however; strictly for single-player fun. apparently the story mode/lore is pretty deep, so hopefully there's enoug...

sweet. I think I'll give it a shot, then.

I've never played Super Mario 3D World. all the reviews I'm seeing are making a big deal about the multiplayer. is it worth it if I just wanna play solo?
