I hate to say it but for some gamers, nothing will ever be good enough. Rather than really search for games that will lead to their enjoyment, they continually invest in games and products that lead to a strong sense of dissatisfaction. They will religiously peruse messages boards, comment sections and any platform they can find online to find an audience to voice their displeasure to.

Cal Festis, along with his droid BD,-1 is the main character in Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.

There was a great wave of expectation when Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order was released for the Playstation 4 (PS4), Xbox One and PC last fall. Fans of Star Wars games have clamored for a single player adventure in the Star Wars universe for some time and it seemed like Jedi Fallen Order would finally fulfill those wishes.

There was a time when Street Fighter was the biggest deal in arcade gaming. When Street Fighter II: The World Warrior was released in arcades in 1991, it literally captured the minds and hearts of video gamers. To this day, I have never seen a game draw people in the way Street Fighter II did. Continue Reading

As I type up this post, we are literally a day away from the release of the new Marvel’s Avengers video game that has been anticipated since the game’s first trailer was shown in 2019. I’m sure the game has a healthy number of pre-orders and many people will be stoked to play the game on day one. But as much of a Marvel fan as I am, I will not be forking out any cash towards the purchase of this game in its current state. Continue Reading
