  • Reigns – Games of 2016

    I’ve wondered a lot of things about myself. Will I ever bowl a perfect 300? Could I survive in the wilderness with Bear Grylls? Would I be a good king? Reigns only helps to simulate one of these scenarios, the king one, but it’s one of the most entertainingly frustrating mobile games I swiped in…

  • MLB The Show 16 – Games of 2016

    This is one of the biggest reasons I purchased a PS4. I love baseball, it occupies a hefty portion of my year, but I haven’t played a good baseball game in years. MLB The Show 16 is a good baseball game. It looks amazing, it plays how you would expect a baseball game to play,…

  • The Division – Games of 2016

    I had a lot of fears about The Division. Even though my lofty dreams about it didn’t exactly come true, I think it says a lot that my nightmares didn’t come true either. There was some solid video gaming with my crew here, and we looked pretty slick while going about that action. I enjoyed…

  • Titanfall 2 – Games of 2016

    I played two games with mechs this year and this was the good one. Respawn learned from its mistakes and shortcomings in its first outing and delivered a solid, single-player campaign where they showed what could happen if you let players experience really cool, unique mechanics…and then didn’t stay married to them for the entire…

  • The Last Guardian – Games of 2016

    I actually thought I tempered my expectations for The Last Guardian quite well consideringt that the developer’s previous game is an all-timer for me. Truth be told, I wasn’t far off base in my general reaction to the game itself. However, I don’t think even another decades worth of previews could have prepared me for…

  • Ratz Instagib – Games of 2016

    I blame the shift in shooters this year, but man was I craving some old school multiplayer fps mayhem. I come from the schools of Quake and Unreal Tournament and felt some immediate kinship with the seemingly random appearance of Ratz Instagib this year. I wasn’t the only one though, it didn’t take long to…

  • Overcooked – Games of 2016

    Glorious, wonderful, stress. That is what this Overcooked is. Do yourself a favor and grab at least one person and play this game. The co-op is some of the best I have played all year. I have had people tell me they just can’t do it because it is just so stressful, but I think…

  • Picross 3D: Round 2 – Games of 2016

    There’s something to be said for Nintendo’s ability to release key franchises at just the right moment. No franchise has been better timed for me than Picross. I abuse Picross when I have it, but then things calm down just long enough for me to realize, "I could use another Picross." In that regard I…

  • Mirror’s Edge Catalyst – Games of 2016

    I need to get something off my chest about the long-awaited sequel to Faith’s fast and futuristic parkour journey. Catalyst is a fine game. Not a bad game nor a great game, it lives somewhere in between the lines. The Faith that I remember from the original Edge is competently mirrored here (see what I…

  • Firewatch – Games of 2016

    Listen, I hate camping. It stresses me out when I think about enduring just one night out there. It’s all work and no relaxation. So try to understand when I tell you that I want to go to Shoshone National Forest and never leave. I wrung out every last mile out of Firewatch that I…
