December 31, 2020 by Chris Johnston

December 31, 2020 by Chris Johnston

I don't think you've seen as unique a Reacts video as this in 2020 (let me know if somehow I missed one).

Games covered include The Last of … [Read more...] about MinnMax: Museum Curators React To 2020’s In-Game Museums

Go Beyond Cyberpunk 2077’s Bugs And Troubles With The Cyberpunk Lorecast

December 30, 2020 by Chris Johnston

Much of the Cyberpunk 2077 talk on gaming podcasts this month has centered around its troubles—performance issues, bugs, returns, delisting from PSN, etc. So it's at times hard to remember that there's a game in there too, one that some players are enjoying despite these issues; where players can spend a hundred-plus hours, based on an existing, long-running tabletop RPG series … [Read more...] about Go Beyond Cyberpunk 2077’s Bugs And Troubles With The Cyberpunk Lorecast

Nintendo Shack x Xbox Empire Game Of The Year 2020

December 28, 2020 by Chris Johnston

Here's an interesting take on a Game of the Year show. The hosts of the Nintendo Shack and Xbox Empire (both part of the PSVG podcast network) got together to discuss their favorites of the year. EXCEPT...it doesn't include only the games released in 2020—just what the hosts played and enjoyed this year. The hosts' lists include games from in some cases many years past, and the … [Read more...] about Nintendo Shack x Xbox Empire Game Of The Year 2020

Liam Robertson Unearths The Work Boy After 28 Years

December 28, 2020 by Chris Johnston

After the Game Boy's massive success, a boatload of peripherals were launched for the handheld. The most common of these were your standard magnifiers, battery packs and lights, but others had greater ambitions. One such device was Fabtek's WorkBoy concept, a small keyboard that plugged into the Game Boy's link port and turned the device into a PDA of sorts. After a yearlong … [Read more...] about Liam Robertson Unearths The Work Boy After 28 Years

TCGS Picks Their Game Of The Year 2020

December 25, 2020 by Chris Johnston

Yes I've only just started this site and yes I've already covered two episodes of The Computer Game Show (TCGS) but SO WHAT.

Dragon Age 4’s Game Awards Trailer Analyzed By Lady Insanity

December 24, 2020 by Chris Johnston

Trailer analysis is serious detective work. It takes being enough of a fan to know the lore, do the forensics, connect the dots of lore from previous games, and pull as much detail as possible out of just a few minutes of footage. Lady Insanity does this with ease in her latest analysis of the Dragon Age 4 trailer from this year's Game Awards. But it's also worth diving into … [Read more...] about Dragon Age 4’s Game Awards Trailer Analyzed By Lady Insanity
