Skyrim (Nintendo Switch) Review
Skyrim may very well be the game we send aliens to express who we are as a species. Players can’t seem to get enough of this game.

Science Fantasy Open World RPG ELEX Released
Most RPGs fall neatly into one of two categories: fantasy, or science fiction.

Cyber Sleuth – How Gameplay Impacts an RPG
During my moving trip from West Virginia to Alaska (more on that story later) by truck, I was given a lot of downtime to just hang out and play some games that I haven’t got to sink much time into. Pulling out my Vita, I flopped between Axiom Verge, a Metroid-style game that I reviewed a while back, and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. After a few hours of wandering about in the world of Digimon...[Read More]
