Hope springs eternal, and there’s no better evidence of that than the members of subreddit r/Halflife, who have been waiting all year for the announcement of Half-Life 3, or Half-Life X, or whatever the next Half-Life game will be called. Granted, they’ve worked themself into a frenzy despite a lack of what might be called…
Living in Hawaii was a blessing in many gaming ways – the Asian influence there provided Japanese bookstores with import game magazines and school friends who had software from Hong Kong and Japan. However, gaming retail in Hawaii was unlike the rest of the USA, as national big box stores such as Wal-Mart and Target…
In Chapter 4 of Deltarune, I’m playing as a pixelated character named Kris when I encounter a hallway with a locked door, a step stool, and a bright green book on a shelf. Obviously I need to move the step stool so that Kris, or another party member, can reach the book and hit the…
Hades 2 almost had me questioning Supergiant’s decision to make its first sequel. I loved Hades, which brought all of the studio’s past experience to bear on a killer action game for the roguelike curious, but I wasn’t convinced a sequel would be a better follow-up than whatever new idea for a game Supergiant could…

Do me a favor and don’t let Lunarium get lost in the sea of game releases on Steam. Tons of action RPGs show up in my inbox and it’s sometimes hard to differentiate which one is which. Lunarium stood out mostly because of its art style, which sort of looks like it would fit on…
It’s beyond a cliche to point out that games’ TV and film adaptations consistently sucked for decades before there were any good ones, and frankly, it’s getting harder to remember that time. One of the best examples of how things have gotten better in recent years is Cyberpunk: Edgerunners—or as I like to remember it,…
If you’ve somehow managed to avoid Assassin’s Creed up to this point and are looking to dive in, (or, as is more likely the case, you’re looking to fill a gap in the vast library of historical murder simulators Ubisoft has created since 2007) now might be the time to do so. Ubisoft is running…
From a testing point of view, it’s been a busy couple of weeks with Avowed. I spent numerous hours running benchmark after benchmark with the review code that Obsidian Entertainment provided, and the results showed that Avowed’s PC performance is sometimes good, sometimes bad, but frequently odd. Now, after a week of being publicly available…
