A couple of months ago I picked up the Crash Bandicoot N’Sane Trilogy, remastered by Vicarious Visions for PS4. I was pretty excited to play through Naughty Dog’s original claim to fame, since I skipped over the PS1 generation as a kid and never had the change to play through […]

This week we talk about Supermassive Games’ Hidden Agenda for Playstation 4. This is a true spoilercast. If you don’t want to know key parts of the game you may want […]
In this piece, we analyze the recent new footage from The Last of Us Part II, and include a graphic breakdown of violence enacted in the footage, particularly violence against women. If you’d like to watch the footage for yourself, you may find it here. Sony’s show at Paris Games Week was […]
Spoiler alert: This post contains some spoilers for Nier: Automata. I suggest playing through ending E before reading to avoid any spoilers. My partner, Alex, is home, and that means we can finally start chipping away at the ever-increasing backlog of games that I collected over the year that he was […]
Last Saturday, March 11th, my roommate, Nico, and I took part in the Gaming for Good 24 hour livestream. This time, we were raising money for the American Civil Liberties Union, and we met our initial goal (We’re still taking donations till March 31st, however, if you still want to […]
When we were offered the chance to do a review of Klonk Games’ 3rd puzzle platform, Shift Happens (Xbox One/PS4/PC), I jumped at the chance because I thought that it would not only be a fun game to play with the kids, but also a fun game to play with […]
8days-Peace is our Business (not to be confused with the title 8 Days, the canceled PS3 game). is a dual-stick 8 bit shooter by Santa Clara Games. It released in 2015 for the PC and was ported to the PS4 and XBox One February 7 of this year. The copy […]
This article spoilers for Dark Souls and Bloodborne in entirety. “Remember, there are no happy endings in Dark Souls.” Wise words from my partner that I rapidly chose to ignore almost as much as Rule 1 (Don’t Get Greedy). It’s not that I wanted to ignore these. I typically take […]
This contains possible spoilers for The Last Guardian. It was like coming home. For a brief moment I looked around the room for my mother, or brother, or sister, or father. The people who had been around when I started the journey with these games. Shadow of the Colossus, a […]
Spoiler Alert: This article contains heavy discussion of the plot and characters of Supergiant Games’ Transistor. I should state now, as a white person who can pass very easily (despite wishing I didn’t) as a straight woman, I have a lot of privilege. I had a lot of privilege before […]
The first real enemy I came across in Zenith was a horde of giant spiders. In a fantasy RPG, massive arachnids aren’t uncommon monsters to encounter, and are something of a cornerstone when it comes to game worlds full of magical adventures. What I didn’t expect, however, was for the […]
We’ve been grappling, the past couple weeks, with a game called Bound, and we’ve been particularly struck by the game’s ambiguous narrative and by its surreal landscapes. And something we continue to ask ourselves is–what is the purpose of the conversation between the two, between the narrative and the gameworld? […]
Last weekend, the two of us played Bound (Plastic Demoscene Group), a game released last month that makes use of surreal landscapes and surreal storytelling. And its surreality and fluid fragmentation seem to work to construct a narrative and world that shifts and changes, that asks us to constantly question the […]
Space travel has always been fascinating to me. Not fascinating enough to make me want to actually go to space, but definitely intriguing enough to watch it from afar. I blame this, in part, on my mother. When I was a child we watched Star Trek every Sunday. It was […]
This week several of us played review copies of Lost Sea, a game that launched yesterday on XBox One and launches on July 5th on PS4 and PC. We have decided to come together and write a collaborative review that allows us to discuss our thoughts about the game more comprehensively*. […]
