The Old and Retro Games I Finally Played in 2021 for the First Time (Mostly) 0
I grew up as a gamer without the means for gaming. I did not own many of the consoles, and my gaming libraries were always minimal for the ones I did have. As a grown human, I have some kind of reverse FOMO for this period of my life, and I am attemp

10 (give or take) Video Games I Played and Probably Didn’t Finish But Really Liked in 2020 2

My GOTY 2017 0
2017 will either go down in history as "2016: Part II" or else "The Year Videogames Freed Us From Our Collective Political Anxieties". It was the year that I, along with many others, realized that – yes – we actually would like everything ported to t

Jeff's All-Time Favorites 95
They're not always the best games. They're just my favorite for one reason or another. This list isn't in any particular order and I'm going to go for the more obscure stuff first, since no one needs to see a list that says "OH MAN SUPER MARIO WORLD

Obscure Fighting Games That Are Worth Some Attention 22
The mid-1990s were a pretty special time in gaming. The PlayStation was everywhere, and mod chips were becoming common. This opened me up to a world of crazy-ass import games. Since I happened to have something of a budget that I could put toward acq

Games I Will Accept As Your Answer to the Question "What Is The Greatest Game Ever Made?" 212
Different people with different upbringings in different eras mean that everyone's going to have a different answer to the question. For the record, when people ask me, I usually say Tetris. It's certainly not my favorite game of all-time, but if yo

Good Licensed Games 42
I should note that I mean licensed in the traditional sense of taking characters or stories from other mediums and bringing them to games. I don't mean sports games like Madden or Tony Hawk, even though both are technically licensed products.

Pile of Shame 32
One of the (relative) downsides of covering games for a living is only having a finite amount of time to play games, and often having to play a bunch of games you'd rather not mess with. A consequence of this responsibility is lacking the time to pla

Bad Games That I Can't Help But Like... Or At Least Remember Somewhat Fondly 20
Or, if you want to be all technical about it, "guilty pleasures." And yeah, "bad" is probably a strong term. Some of these games are merely middling. But at some point I don't want a huge title for the list.

Embarrassing! 18
These are the sorts of games that, if they were to come up while arguing with someone who didn't like games, you'd just have to shrug your shoulders and say "yeah, well... yeah."
