411 hours. That’s how much time I’ve spent playing Destiny since February of this year. That’s more time than I spent on Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, which took up 230 hours (mostly in 2013). That’s very likely more time than I’ve spent on all of the Super Smash Bros. games since 1999. And yet I… Continue reading Taking a Break From Destiny

Destiny: The Taken King (PS4/XBO/PS3/360) – Review
This review is based on the PS4 version. First person shooters were never really my thing. When Halo came around on the original Xbox, I tried to play it but couldn’t get the hang of aiming with joysticks. I tried with other games as time went on, but it never really clicked for me. In… Continue reading Destiny: The Taken King (PS4/XBO/PS3/360) – Review
Triple Triad (Android / iOS) – Review
If there was one side activity in any Final Fantasy game that had me hooked, it was the Triple Triad card game from Final Fantasy VIII. Unlike Final Fantasy IX’s Tetra Master or any other similar activity, Triple Triad was a card game that had clear enough mechanics for anyone to understand, yet enough challenge… Continue reading Triple Triad (Android / iOS) – Review
Splatoon Review
Like many others, my first sight of Splatoon in last year’s Nintendo Digital Event at E3 surprised me. I wasn’t really sure what to think. On the one hand, the cartoony style made me think of a lot of Nickelodeon cartoons from the ’90s, which is always good for nostalgia. On the other hand, the… Continue reading Splatoon Review
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (New 3DS) – Review
When the original Xenoblade Chronicles finally came to Wii in North America, it was one of those games that I wanted to play but was in no hurry to purchase. Of course, considering it was exclusive to GameStop with a very limited run, that was a mistake that I later regretted as unless you are… Continue reading Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (New 3DS) – Review
Backlog Review – EarthBound (SNES / Wii U Virtual Console)
Though I never owned a Super Nintendo growing up, when I first was introduced to the great RPGs of the console, EarthBound was one of the highly recommended titles to play. But as much as I tried, I couldn’t get into it. Fast-forward 13 years to the release of EarthBound on Wii U’s Virtual Console… Continue reading Backlog Review – EarthBound (SNES / Wii U Virtual Console)
Backlog Review – Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (GCN/Wii/Wii U)
Like most modern gamers, my backlog is far too large. Between the games I bought years after they released, games I’ve been interested in trying but haven’t gotten around to, and new games that keep coming out, I’m never lacking in content to play. And as an adult 5 years out of college and working… Continue reading Backlog Review – Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (GCN/Wii/Wii U)
