Eiji Aonuma announced today that the long-anticipated Breath of the Wild 2 has been delayed again, this time for almost a whole year. This kind of delay will likely only hurt the final game’s prospects. It wasn’t all that long ago that Nintendo was one of the few global behemoths that did things their own […]

Devil May Cry 5 has an interesting legacy behind it. Somehow the series has endured despite multiple set backs, which everyone _usually_ attributes to the moody, Christopher Nolan meets My Chemical Romance 2013 reboot. Though many fans forget that this already happened with Devil May Cry 2, which was a bit more like Christopher Nolan […]

Just started with Control last week. I avoided this game until I got my PC fixed, which ended up being a bad call in hindsight. But in foresight, it ended up working out when Sony announced it as part of PS Plus. I’m a big fan of PS Plus, having gotten into several games like […]

If there’s one story that’s prevalent in coverage of the games industry, it’s the idea of “crunch.” For those who might not know, “crunch” is what happens when game studios, usually high-profile ones like Bioware or Naughty Dog, under a deadline, frequently have their employees working 90-hour weeks, putting aside all other commitments, and even […]

God of War’s new Enhanced Mode has been out a couple weeks now, and during my most recent playthrough of the game there were a few things I noticed.

Horizon: Forbidden West is out hopefully sometime this year, and with that I thought it’d be a nice time to play through the original Horizon: Zero Dawn with a special drink pairing. This week’s pairing will get you all geared up to fight giant robot dinosaurs in a post-post-apocalyptic Colorado.

NOTE: My thoughts on Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, went way beyond what I could contain in just one post. So I am only covering Uncharted 1 – 3 in this post. Uncharted 4 will be in a follow-up. To see my special drink pairing for these games, check out the Mojito.  Growing up, I […]

In 2017, I, like many people, was enamored with the wealth of open world adventure games that had come out during that year. The two I was the most excited for was of course, Breath of the Wild and Horizon: Zero Dawn.  The former because of the eons we were waiting for a new mainline […]

Ah, the Mojito. A favorite of vacationers looking to soak up the tropical sun and catch an afternoon nap on the beach. This cocktail is not only able to get you fully immersed in the often tropical but always exotic destinations that Nathan Drake and his friends travel to on their adventures, but is also […]
