Started Disgaea 5: Complete – With Demons on My Side
When I originally played Disgaea 1, I had a lot of time for video games. It felt different than anything I had played and became my game of comparison for all tactical RPG’s going forward. Looking back it actually has a lot of features and stylistic choices that would put me off from a game…

Started Graceful Explosion Machine – I’ll Be Back
I think one of my favorite nostalgic shoot-em-up revelations is when I play a new one and realize that the level loops around itself. Graceful Explosion Machine is just as excited about this feature as I am because its fantastic tutorial unveils it like the game changer it is. I love being able to fly…

No, some…

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,…
