The Super Famicom Super Also-Ran Super Sequel 0
Because I ran out of room on the original list. Simply put, these are SFC and SNES games I've added to the wiki. Frankly put, most (but not all) of them are generic garbage that deserved to be forgotten. Don't say I didn't warn you. (The horror... it

Platformative 3D Platformers 5
This was something I meant to put together closer to the announcement that Yooka-Laylee had been successfully funded. Here's a list of all the 3D platformers I've played, and my thoughts on them. There's gaps, of course. As well as the vast number of

PS4 Test 7
This isn't going to be a very exciting list, alas, unless you all feel like participating with recommendations (see below). See, I'm getting to the point now where purchasing a new console is an inevitability. Yet, with my limited funds and moderate

List of Games Beaten in 2015 1
New year, new list. I've made so many of these "games beaten in [year]" lists now that I've actually run out of things to say. I mean, it's all the games I beat in 2015. Tell you what: I'll keep this particular list free of Back to the Future II refe

Hoverboards & Humility: Pile of Shame '15 4
Though many are optimistic about next year, for whatever reasons they may have, I'm safely considering yet another year of plumbing the back catalog for games I missed out on. We gripe that there's so few games being released that A) are fun or B) ac

Game of The Year 2014 Users Choice 0
Same list as GOTY 2014, just replicated for the Giant Bomb tracker thing. Check there for appraisals.

GOTY 2014 6
I guess it's time. After fourteen days of Go! Go! GOTY!, I think I'm finally prepared to render my verdict on the games released in the year of 2014 of the Common Era that I was fortunate enough to play. This list will be a little lacking, alas. Whil

PAL By Comparison 8
I made a list some time back that looked at games I very much wish could receive PAL releases. I could've made that list a lot longer by including games that were already given localizations and released in the US. It's a fairly common and discouragi

One of These Days, Alice... 3
Hola, lunatics and lunachicas. I've sometimes found that a game, when faced with a self-imposed challenge to continually raise the stakes with its narrative, usually settles on one place in particular that's sort of in the local vicinity but really n

Super Famicom's Super Also-Rans 1
I really just have this list as a notepad file for my own reference, but I figured it might be of some interest to people: These are all the Super Famicom (and the very few SNES) games that I've added to the wiki, as part of an ongoing quest of mine

Knave-iators of The Air Corsair Corps 2
Sky pirates, was what I was going for there. Though they occupy a mid-point between sea pirates and space pirates, air pirates are perhaps the most fun of any of the pirate phyla. At the very least, they seem to pop up a lot whenever a JRPG features

Rapier Wit 11
Supergiant Games's new joint Transistor is the latest game to feature a talking weapon, so here's a look at a few other examples. Creating a conversational partner out of a tool has always struck me as an interesting attempt to anthropomorphize the o

Tales in Ten 6
After beating Tales of the Abyss, the seventh game from Namco Bandai's RPG series that I've seen through to its conclusion, and writing up an extremely long blog about the game and my opinions on it, I've realised something: that for a lot of people

The Cut of Courage 6
Sometimes all it takes is a symbolic gesture to prove your resolve, and your desire or need to change who you are. Since most video game characters aren't adept at shapeshifting or creating fake IDs (with the obvious exception of that one guy from Pa

The (Near) Infinite Indie Information Inquiry Index 0
Assignment: an (assuredly assonance-heavy) assembly that assiduously assimilates all my Indie game assessments, to the assumptive assistance of my Giant Bomb associates. Yes, I realize that sounds like a lot of ass, but I simply figure that after pla

Prepare For Trouble, Make It Double 2
While Team Rocket's James makes strides in the WVGCW as the most dangerous manager ever to grace the pseudo-pseudo-sport, I figured we'd take a look at famous duo bosses from the world of video games. These guys always attack as a pair, and whether t

Home, Steel Home 1
It seems I've started a Cool RPG Cities themed list series around here. I posted one semi-recently about cities trapped in permanent night, and there's another municipal trope I'm always happy to see in a game I'm playing: that of the city made almos

List of Games Beaten in 2014 0
The fifth one of these. Soon I'll have been reminiscing about the games I've beaten on Giant Bomb for half a decade. That's... yeesh. Let's see what mischief I got up to this year, shall we? (New for this year: Rankings! This list is almost useful co

GOTY 2013 9
Eh, screw it. Everyone seems to be writing theirs today, and I can't imagine I'll get through anything else monumental this year. Subject to change, of course. If I can squeeze in Super Mario 3D World or A Link Between Worlds (or if Remember Me reall

Shameageddon 2014: The Chagrinening 1
Time to bring this back, because it did such a wonderful job last year of helping me keep my gaming priorities straight. Sarcasm. That'll be the theme for 2014. So now we start 2014 proper, I've reorganized the list to include every major item in my

Characters of the Generation (That Aren't Called James) 4

The Future of Law Enforcement 3

Spearwaifu 3
A list of women warriors who use spears. Title comes from the spearwives of the wildling civilization of A Song of Ice and Fire (a.k.a. Game of Thrones) and my own self-hatred. Two elaborate and detailed sources indeed. Honestly, though, this is a re

Permanently Post-Meridiem Municipalities 7
I don't even know what you'd call that type of wordplay. Alternating assonance? I think the technical term is "a bunch of words stuck together". But yes, this is a list of video game cities that seem to be stuck in a perpetual night. Often there's a

Gone Home Redux 2
Hello friends. One of the more contentious debates of recent weeks has been between game reviewers with their glowing reception of The Fullbright Company's emotionally powerful indie game Gone Home and that of the game's more pragmatic detractors who

Japanese Role Playing Games: I've Played a Few More 8
Since I got the dumb notion into my head to alphabetize these JRPGs and that our list tech has "evolved" to limit ordered lists to 100 items or less, I guess I'm making another one of these to manage the excess. The first part can be found over here,

Ornithophilia 10
A little while back I wrote a list called Ornithophobia, about particularly antagonistic avians you're likely to encounter in video games. As a result, I feel like I've demonized our feathered friends a little too much. I mean, sure, they're an absol

Clownloadable Games 9
I need to start spending more than five minutes on thinking up titles for lists. Yes, this is a list about clowns. Not just in any role though: strictly those that appear in their own game as playable characters. You can pull a thousand different vio

Famicom's Thirtieth 4
Hey folks. If you frequent any retro-gaming sites, you'd know that the Famicom - the Japanese equivalent of the NES - turned 30 this week. While its American 30th birthday is a couple years off, it's still an important milestone in this great medium

In Memoriam: Ryan Davis 26
Just a few games with Quick Looks that I remember fondly because of Ryan T. Davis. There's a few obvious exclusions (in fact, just go to the list of Funniest Quick Looks and Ctrl-F "Ryan" for all the highlights), but there's a specific reason why I c

Ornithophobia 2
For some reason video games really don't like birds too much. There are exceptions, of course, such as the plucky (as it were), invicible and psychopathic Cuccos of Legend of Zelda, but there are far more sequences in games (or just entire games) tha

Games I've Beaten That I'd Be Happy to LP/ER/Bombastica Some Day 2

Finally, a Boss "Final Boss Theme"-Themed List 0
Hey all. That Japanophiliac jackanape Hailinel couldn't do his final boss blog series this month (I can attest to how time-intensive a month-long daily blog series can get) so I've thrown together a composite of 30 final boss themes as a hopefully wo

E3 2013 0

Intriguing Minimalism 8
I don't know why, but white-on-black minimalism somehow does something to my brain. I can't get enough of it. Maybe it started when I saw the white halls of Bespin in Empire Strikes Back, only to find the corruption within. This theme was repeate

Arcade Games Played in Tokyo Summer 2009 5
