This is not something that I’ve particularly looked forward to writing, but effectively immediately, I’ll be taking a very reduced approach to content production for the forseeable future. Later on this month I’ll have been working on either this in some capacity for six years and while I’m very proud of what I’ve managed to…
I want to preface this piece very early on by saying I love the character of Miles Morales: In either collected edition or trade, I have every issue starring the character as written by Brian Micheal Bendis; I have multiple Miles Morales Spider-Man action figures and even a hoodie and t-shirt modeled after Miles’ now…
Disney Infinity ended in 2016, Lego Dimensions ended about a year and a half later in 2017, and while Activision’s Skylanders hasn’t throw in the towel officially, its taking a year off is very telling that the series is on shaky ground. Started in 2011 with Skylanders: Spryo’s Adventure, the toys-to-life genre of games that allowed action figures to interact with a video…
I’ve been playing video games since I was around five or six years old, but it wasn’t until my very early teens, around 1997 to be more precise that I started to get serious about the hobby. Up to that point I was renting games on a very regular basis and picking up a magazine…
I really dislike BOTW and the worst thing about it is, it makes me think there's something wrong with me and I hate that feeling. — Blair Farrell (@Blarcade) March 10, 2017 This was a thought I had earlier this month when playing the as of this writing, 97 on Metacritic rated The Legend of Zelda: Breath…
If you grew up close to a comic book shop in the 90’s chances are you got a decent enough education of comic book characters across multiple publishing brands. If, like me however, the closest comic book shop was an hour-and-a-half away, you probably were lucky to get a scattered issue here or there at…
In my approaching thirty-three years of life, a lot of which has been parked in front of a screen with controller in hand, I never got to participate in the launch of a brand new console though I always wanted to. The way things always played out was that I either didn’t have the money…
Having been circulating the rumour mill for sometime and finally confirmed last weekend at the 2016 Sony PlayStation Experience event, we’re getting something that many people thought we wouldn’t see in a million years: another Marvel Vs. Capcom game, this time ditching the number four and using the sub-title Infinite. This should be cause for celebration, shouldn’t it? Even…
I’m a sucker for collecting things in games, especially in open world games. I spent too many hours running around collecting treasure boxes in Assassin’s Creed II, even though my many businesses and side-missions had my pocket flush with cash; I ventured into many areas I had no right entering in inFAMOUS because there was a blast shard I…
If you’ve been on Facebook or Twitter since about an hour ago, you probably know that Nintendo has a new console coming out March 2017, officially called Nintendo Switch: I’ve been pretty hard on Nintendo on this blog, but from what was shown in the trailer for the Switch, I’m actually pretty optimistic about it…
