Rio's Game Of Year List 2021 0
This was a very interesting year for me. Pretty sure I watched streamers play games more than actually play them myself this year. Additionally, I bought only two games on this list and the rest came from Xbox Game Pass. Not something I really want t

Video Game Memoirs Volume 1 1
Hey! It's time to clean up my random writing on different video games that don't quite fit in anywhere else. Looking at this list after finishing it really has a heavy focus on platformers. Nothing will ever beat jumping real good in a video game app

A Year One Review of the Nintendo Switch NES Library 0

Scattered Thoughts September 2018 0

Scattered Thoughts August 2018: Solitaire,AI issues, demon luchadores & more 0

Scattered Thoughts July 2018: The Month Of First Impressions 0

No Escape, you have only two choices. ( Zero Escape Series Review) 0

Best Of E3 2018 0

Scattered Thoughts May 2018: Reimagined takes on older franchises 0

Scattered Thoughts March 2018: The Utterly Average Game List 0

February 2018: Month of the dash 0

January 2018: Month Of Yakuza 0
Going all in on this franchise is my motto for this month. In most cases this could have easily lead to me getting tired of Kiryu by the time the final credits rolled in Yakuza 5. Yet in the end it just made me even more hyped to see the conclusion

Some Thoughts On Video Games December 2017 0

Some Thoughts On Video Games November 2017 0

Some Thoughts On Video Games: October 2017 1

The Top 10 Games At E3 2016 0

Obscure Fighting Games That Are Worth Some Attention 22
