2018 has been an incredible year for gaming, and with the fall season upon us, there are still several heavy hitters left to vie for your time and hard-earned money. October was a particularly full month, seeing strong new entries for Forza, Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty. But as popular and well-received as all […]
Here’s the latest Game of the Month video recapping all our winners of 2018. Shadow of the Colossus is one of the most refreshing games we’ve played in a while, and it’s not even a new game. Congratulations to Bluepoint for this amazing update on a true classic. View our original announcement here, which has […]
Puzzle games are a very unique genre. More than a lot of games, they require a thoughtfulness and subtlety to their design. Deru is a new puzzle game from developer Ink Kit Studios designed to be played cooperatively. So Evan and Marcus agreed to play nice for a couple of hours to play through a […]
I’m conflicted. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a phenomenal game. Its world is utterly immersive, there are tons of satisfying missions and activities to perform, and the story is one of the best I’ve witnessed in a video game. It’s filled with likable, well-written, and complex characters, and the narrative takes unexpected and frequent emotional […]
Everyone knows that seeing people cosplaying as your favorite characters is the BEST part of any comic book convention. I went down to L.A. Comic Con to see all of mine, only this time, I made it into a fun game. Check out my attempt at playing Video Game Bingo with random cosplayers. Thank you […]

From one-man passion projects to small independent studios to massive, international development teams, it doesn’t matter how many people you have working on a game it will always be a struggle to make great art. This difficulty often leads to unreasonable work hours and inordinate amounts of anxiety, […]
Indiecade was the first gaming convention that I went to. Beforehand, I went to a writing convention in Los Angeles and D23 in Anaheim. I never knew how much fun it would be to play so many unique and different games currently in development. There was a lot of games there that were so unique […]
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a difficult game to wrap your head around. While it opens with an entertaining introduction to the Van der Linde Gang that functions as a tutorial to the title’s basic mechanics, it quickly sets you loose in a hostile world with very little information. It’s hard to get things done […]

At last, Nintendo has graced eager fans with 40 minutes of info on the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Everyone was hoping for some long-awaited character reveals and for Sakurai to finally shed some light on the peculiarly title Spirits game mode. Are fans happy? Spoiler alert: No, they never are. But here’s what we […]
This October saw the release of two epically large open-world games: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Red Dead Redemption 2. It isn’t fair to pit these two against each other for the sake of determining which is better. It’s Red Dead Redemption 2. That game had the benefit of nearly eight years in development and a […]
Last weekend, I gallivanted around the Los Angeles Convention Center at LA Comic Con 2018 filming for a cosplay video that should come out later this week. While you wait for that, here are some photos of cosplayers who I thought were noteworthy, but who didn’t fit the theme of my video.
