Eight to Consider: Games of E3 2018
This year’s E3 is in the books and, as I’ve done in years past, I thought I’d discuss some of the best games I saw during the show. There were a number of really interesting games shown off and announced this year, but unfortunately a good deal of those seemed to focus heavily on multiplayer. […]
94 – It’s-a Me, Judge Mario. I Find You Guilty
This week, Jason Arriola, John Lucero, and Franky Ordaz decide Mario might be an asshole, Far Cry 5 is a far cry from great, and Attack on Titan might not have the strongest story, characters, or writing, but it’s still fun. SPOILER ALERT! John spoils the hell out of the end of Far Cry 5, […]
Kirby Star Allies Review
Platform: Nintendo Switch Kirby’s often played second banana to the major pillars of Nintendo’s major franchises. The Pink Puffball generally sees more releases on a Nintendo platform than most of their others do, but the not completely incorrect perception of the series being easy often has great games that break the Kirby mold like Kirby and […]

Jason Arriola’s Top Ten (Mostly) Game Albums of the Year
We put up John’s favorite albums from 2017 earlier this week. To jump on the bandwagon, these are my favorite game-related albums from last year. Most of them are direct soundtracks, but some are fan made remixes that stuck with me throughout the year. Honorable Mentions: Shadows of Adam – Tyler Mire, Blossom Tales: […]
86 – It’s A Little Old
Jason Arriola and John Lucero talk about a lot of old stuff. Alternate history 1960’s America? Check. Egypt in the final years of the Ptolemaic Dynasty? Check. Umm, that might be the last of the old stuff unless you count movies and TV shows that came out in the last six months old? Sorry, I really flubbed […]
