All reviews10 Second Ninja X2016
5 out of 5 starsSometimes the story of how you find and fall into a game can have just as much impact on how much you enjoy the game, as the game itself. That is very much the case for me and 10 Second Ninja X on Playstation Vita. But before we get into all that, let’s talk about the game. 10SNX is both a sequel and a remaster to the original 10 Second Ninja, and features all forty of the original levels remastered in HD, as well…

All articlesGames With An Active Development Life Cycle; Good or Bad?
Mar 19, 2017
You’d be hard pressed not to know what a game having an active life cycle is by now. What used to be something limited to online only games, most notably MMO’s has permeated it’s way into pretty much every genre. Everything from sandbox survival games like Minecraft all the way to shooters both first and third person such as Destiny and the Division have featured an active life cycle form of de...
Three Thoughts - Is PS Plus Bad?; Plus A Farewell to Spelunky
Mar 12, 2017
It's been a while since I've sat down and written a blog. Especially one about video games but I've been telling myself I want to start recording and releasing some more of my thoughts for a while now. I'm going to try to start doing a more regular feature with just a few of my thoughts on some of the things going on in the gaming world, or just about games in general. So without further adieu,...
My Love/Hate Relationship With Steam
Mar 20, 2015
It is crazy to think that Steam initially launched roughly 12 years ago. While it has existed for over a decade, the presence of Steam as "the PC gaming platform" of choice has really only existed since roughly 2007/2008. The power of Steam as a platform has only gotten stronger and stronger every year. It is to the point that many game players, even the more hardcore ones don't even notice a g...
Kickstarter A True Look Into What It Means to Be a Publisher?
Jul 2, 2013
Given the recent news of Double Fine essentially announcing that their Broken Age project which was Kickstarted for over 3 million dollars will need more funding for the project to be delivered the way the audience would hopefully like I figured I'd give some of my thoughts on Kickstarter and all of this in general. If anything all this stuff really just makes me take a good hard look at how ga...
Are We Ready For The "All Digital" Future?
Jun 20, 2013
Microsoft has done the unthinkable and reversed their entire always online used game DRM policies that everyone seemed to be in an uproar about. I tend to think this was a smart move but there seems to be a growing movement of people frustrated by the fact that consumers seem intent on keeping the push for physical media alive. So I figured I'd take some time to discuss my thoughts on the inevi...
Has Free to Play influenced the design choices of games too much?
Jun 6, 2013
I have given a lot of attention as of the last year/year and half to free to play games. Almost all of these games have some type of online component intended to keep you around so they can get whatever hooks into you as possible to get you to engage in the micro transaction section of the game. An entire years worth of debating could be had over the pricing models and just how the micro transa...
