Crash Team Rumble has potential to fill a somewhat underserved niche in the industry.

There doesn't seem to be many party or casual multiplayer mini game collections around, especially with big IP like Crash Bandicoot.

Wow, #ageofempires 2 campaigns are so enjoyable!

The historical storytelling and immersive quality of these missions are extremely impressive for a genre that doesn't usually excel in these areas.

Zelda Tears of Kingdom looks like an expansion pack for Breath of The Wild, not a bad thing just an observation.

My impression is that I didn't like the first game and this one won't change my mind.

Feeling downbeat and moody about the direction of the video game industry today.

Have we reached a point where new innovative experiences have been exhausted?

We've certainly reached a point where nearly all mainstream releases fit into one of a few established formulas, and even many Indie games just swap aesthetic coats of paint.

Personally, I feel fatigue.

Its not all bad though, some recent games that reignited some passion for the hobby: Pentiment, Hi Fi Rush, Persona 5 Royal.

Now reading: The Man in The Gray Flannel Suit.

A novel about American suburbania, depression, identity, and corporate conformity.

Released in 1955.

At the point in life where 4 hours worth of naps, time to read books or play some videogames, and a handful of good workouts is a 10/10 weekend.

A collection of Halo 2 press kit images.

My favorite is the beam rifle shot in Ivory Tower, but funnily enough I don't like the map much.
