Spoiler Night – Hyper Light Drifter
Ryan and Justin never stood a chance against Hyper Light Drifter. Once they started it had to be finished. Its one of those games that you want to see through but never want it to end. The good news is we can finally talk all about its glorious details. Horrible Night on SoundCloud RSS Feed…

Testing Overwatch: Finding a Running Crew
It has been close to a decade since I felt at home in a public competitive first person shooter. I’ve enjoyed some great matches in the meantime, but those have mainly been with close friends and in closed game night scenarios. I thought maybe my tastes had just changed or my patience had gotten shorter,…

Game Curious Pharaonic – Egyptian Soulless
Justin loses plenty of lives in Ancient Egypt, but can’t really figure out if they are worth recovering or not. Maybe if he could actually learn to parry it would be a different story. **Previous Pharaonic Experience** Watched a trailer and liked the look of the game. Read some steam reviews and it seemed decent.…

Stopped The Division: At a Loss
I wrote a post three weeks ago that never got published that was in defense of The Division. I had just reached max level and could not understand why there was so much derision of this game. I was riding a high after just beating the final story boss. I am now writing because that…

Started Gurgamoth: Sacrificial Friendly
"I just bought a game called, Gurgamoth" "Gargamel?" "No, Gurgamoth" "Garglemeth?" "Gurgamoth." "Why?" I bought it because it looks gurga-gorgeous, dammit. Actually, I bought it because it had been a bit since we last tried out a competitive local multiplayer game. Gurgamoth stood out for its vector art style amongst a sea of pixel games,…

Played MLB The Show 16: From the Stretch
I remember the first time I saw MLB: The Show on the PS3. I couldn’t believe a baseball game could look that good. For a brief moment, I thought about getting a PS3, but at the time I think they were still $12,000 or something ridiculous and so I was left with 2K’s sub-par attempt…

Stopped Miitomo: Shut the Door
You know what? I’m glad I tried Miitomo. That Mii creator and especially that voice modifier were some good happy fun. There were a lot of smiles in the office on launch day even before we knew exactly what we were getting into. It’s also exciting to see Nintendo branch out into mobile and still…

Game Curious Ratchet & Clank – Depth Perception
Justin was ready to hang out with Ratchet & Clank again anyway, so having a PS4 remake of the original experience couldn’t have come at a better time. **Previous Ratchet & Clank Experience** Played the original game and a bit of the 2nd game, but none since. Pretty ignorant of this update other than the…

Game Curious Enter the Gungeon – Locked and Looted
Aaron grabs his favorite guns and pups for another descent in Enter the Gungeon. Also, sometimes his favorite guns aren’t very good and he loses for that reason and that reason alone. Cough. Previous Enter the Gungeon Experience E3 trailers Obsessive Googling for a release date Pre-release stream gameplay Played for an hour or two…
