Spread of Impressive Titles from Merge Games at PAX East
One of the areas of the gaming world I am most interested in is the preservation of video game history. This leads me to pursue physical copies of games that did not receive the traditional retail treatment, which is what initially drew me to scheduling a meeting with Merge Games. Merge Games are probably most known for taking some of the best indie games around and giving them the ultimate physic...[Read More]

Snake Pass – BEING the Snake During a Hands-On Preview at PAX East

For this demo, I played the Nintendo Switch version using the Joy-Con Grip controller, while others played the other platforms around me. Sitting next to me through the entire demonstration was none other...[Read More]

Middle Earth: Shadow of War Looks Epic and Ambitious
Back in 2014, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor was my favorite game of the year. While it is true that Shadow of Mordor borrowed heavily from other titles such as Assassin’s Creed and the Arkham series. What made this game special, however, was the original and unique Nemesis System, which has yet to be recreated by other studios. Monolith Productions knows how well this system worked, and is ...[Read More]

Paradox Interactive Announces Cities: Skylines Xbox One Edition
Many of us at Marooner’s Rock love a good city building game, and Paradox has built their Cities series from its start as a (very good) public transit simulator to a full-fledged city sim that has stolen the crown from the gran-daddy of city builders. However, console owners haven’t been able to get in on the fun. Until this spring!
Sumo Digital’s Snake Pass Let’s Players be a Snake
Back on the N64 and PSOne, there was a trend in the 3D platforming genre. Oftentimes players had to collect all sorts of trinkets in order to progress, with levels having multiple tiers of things to grab while exploring. A great example of this is Banjo Kazooie, a game that can only be progressed by getting so many Jiggies. Spyro the Dragon had elements of this as well, as the last boss battle was...[Read More]
