Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas [Xbox 360] Review
John    That first year I owned an Xbox , I probably downloaded every game trailer and demo that was posted to the Xbox Live Marketplace. I purchased the Xbox just before Halloween , after saving a couple weeks worth of earnings from my first job, and I found myself buying into the prerelease...

Ragnarok Odyssey Ace [PlayStation 3] Review
John    As I mostly play older video games, or at least, few new release games, I feel like my reviews should include a preface on why I decided to play what I did. There’s generally a logical through line; like how purchasing an Xbox compatible arcade stick prompted me to play so many of the shoot ...

The Top 10 Games I Played in 2021
John    When I’ve sat down to write these year end lists in the past, I’ve usually done so with a sense of urgency that belies my intentions for them. Inspired by the industry wide personal best of lists Giant Bomb publishes to celebrate the year that was, I envisioned mine having the same panache. In...

Nex Machina [PlayStation 4] Review
John    If someone told you that was the year they got into Housemarque, you’d assume it was because they fell head over heels for the Finnish video game developer’s newest product, the brutal, beautiful Returnal. Well, that’s not how it happened to me.

Trauma Center: Under the Knife [Nintendo DS] Review
John    Intentionally designed to make use of the Nintendo handheld’s then novel touch screen was a highlight of the system’s excellent second wave of software.

No More Heroes III [Switch] Review
John    Had things gone according to plan, a review for No More Heroes : Desperate Struggle would’ve been one of the first articles on this website. I actually still have an in progress review from over ten years ago, where I started jotting down my thoughts, but alas, nothing ever came of it. Which...

Raiden IV [Xbox 360] Review
John    If anything has stuck with me from my high school driver’s ed class, it was a tip from one of the two teachers. While out on a drive, the football coach teacher as opposed to the softball coach teacher stated that people tend to focus so closely on the rear of the car in front Continue reading...

Peggle: Dual Shot [Nintendo DS] Review
John    When I started, I envisioned that it could be my next bedtime game. That is, something in the vein of Picross, a game where I could complete puzzles through an almost Zenlike unthinking process, and perhaps listen to a podcast or otherwise just drift off to sleep. Which is a bit of an oxymoron...

Castlevania [NES] Review
John    You know, I still remember checking out Castlevania on the NES in the early to mid s. Fast forward to Halloween afternoon, and I STILL hadn’t played a thematically appropriate game for the month of October.

Suikoden III [PlayStation 2] Review
John    I concluded my review of Suikoden II stating that It’s tale of war, viewed from macro and micro perspectives, was better executed than its predecessor, and one that I’ll inevitably judge its successors upon. Well, the rubber meets the road now that I’ve completed Suikoden III. Without question,...
