The holiday season is upon us! And for me, that means playing yet another one of my all time favorite games, Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (HD). This is another one of those games that will just always be at the top of my favorites list. I even wrote a critical analysis of the immersion this game creates in my undergrad days. But I'm not going to bore you with that academic stuff here. … [Read more...]
Transformers: War for Cybertron – ‘Til All Are One!

I'm going to start this off by admitting that I never intended to do an analysis of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW). Something of such a massive scale was a little intimidating to write on, especially considering that it's been months since I finished the game, and my memory isn't exactly great. However, thanks to some pointless promotional DLC being added … [Read more...]
