It's October once more, and you know what that means! Yet another Halloween-esque game analysis (as I don't really go for horror games, I'm admittedly starting to run out of these, but not this year, at least)! A couple years ago, I analyzed the first Luigi's Mansion. A good game that has not aged terribly well. Luigi's Mansion 3 (LM3) is a drastic improvement over that … [Read more...]
Luigi’s Mansion – This Old House
Seeing as Halloween is fast approaching and since Nintendo is about to release a remake of the game, I figured now would be as good a time as any to pull out this old gem, and give it a good analysis.

It had to have been one of the most boring video games I'd ever played. … [Read more...]
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Breathing New Life Into the Series
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...]
