Dear Journal, I thought I had made progress, I thought the light at the end of the tunnel was starting to shine through, I thought the backlog was finally starting to wane. My last adventure into my backlog proved successful, and I felt confident that perhaps my foe would remain weakened and no longer prove a challenge that necessitated action. […]

Dear Journal, Today I really let loose with the road rage. Driver: Renegade was released about the same time as Driver: San Francisco but it is not the mobile release equivalent. Rather, the game takes place between the events of Driver and Driver 2, where John Tanner free from the restraints of being a cop, finds work cleaning up New […]

Dear Journal, Today I inherited a zoo and took a bunch of photos. Zoo Resort screams shovelware. Developed for the 3DS by Ubisoft, the game’s whole premise basically surrounds taking photos of the animals in your pretend zoo. Not only does the premise not sound all that impressive, but the fact that the game came out almost immediately after the […]

Dear Journal, Today I visited the weirdest resort ever, where I was forced to perform complex maneuvers in various aircraft rather than just relax. Seriously, what kind of resort gives you a jetpack and has you on a timed course with only a couple of minutes training? All joking aside, Pilotwings Resort marks a return to one of Nintendo’s classic […]

There’s not a gamer in the world who doesn’t know what “Final Fantasy” is. There’s the long-time fans who’ve played through every single game — including the misnumbered ones. There’s the fans who have their absolute favorite and swear by it — “Final Fantasy VII” is usually the one considered to be the Holy Grail of the franchise. There’s even […]

Dear Journal, Today I was a T-Rex fighting a Stegosaurs and was honestly, genuinely bored. It quickly seems like most of the titles coming through the pipeline in this quest to rid my backlog of… well my backlog are just taking mediocre to a whole new level. Maybe, somewhere in my subconscious I knew this and this is part of […]

Dear Journal, Today I did a barrel roll, and I did it good. Let’s just be honest here; almost any one reading this site has at some point and time in their lives played Star Fox 64 assuming they are not younger than the game itself. Star Fox was one of the biggest and best games the N64 ever offered, […]

Dear Journal, Today I fought a giant centipede for control of a garden. Centipede is pretty much what you would call a classic. The game has been around forever and has existed in almost as many forms as there are legs on a giant centipede. So a “true reboot” of the franchise sounded interesting, and the bright colorful graphics of […]

Dear Journal, Today I realized I have a problem. How did this all begin anyway? I suppose I have Cheap Ass Gamer to blame, at least in part. At what point does a deal on a video game literally become so good that you can’t resist it? Well, apparently, for me that point doesn’t take much. I mean, how did […]

People, hey, seriously, look at this. This is awesome. Now, I won’t say that I’m an avid art fan, nor would I say that I don’t have a level of respect for it. That said, it’s rare that something like the opening of an art gallery can tear me away from Netflix or a cold beer. Apparently though, all it […]
