Philip is better at buying video games than he is at playing them. He was once told “it must suck to love something so much and be so terrible at it.” As a boy he would write terrible poems about himself and Ross Perot. He enjoys the best and worst of all forms of media, but nothing in the middle. Puyo Puyo Tetris has almost caused unreconcilable differences between him and his wife. He’s never had a hangover, but not from lack of trying.

Developer Secret Location has constructed a world that has a strange sense of peace even as the challenges become more and more difficult.

Are There Too Many Video Games Being Developed?

Phil Neyman06 mins

Say what you will about game crunch, but would a little extra time be the worst thing for a game currently? Rockstar may be at the center of this “issue,” but why do they even feel the need to rush these games out? Are we hurting for something to play so badly right now that we couldn’t live without Red Dead Redemption 2 for another six months?

A Gummy’s Life Must Be Dull -Review (PC)

Phil Neyman06 mins

If I’ve learned anything from A Gummy’s Life, it would be how miserable their lives are and how compelled I am to eat them all in an attempt to save them from this life of mediocrity all Gummies apparently live. The tag line for the game says, “the gummies have come to life and they are unmanageable.” This is more accurate than they could even imagine considered you never feel in complete control of the gummy that you choose to fight as.

Nintendo Needs to Kill The 3DS

Phil Neyman06 mins

I haven’t traveled with my 3DS since Nintendo released the Switch nearly two years ago. I’m sure, like me, most of you prefer to travel with as little as possible and having to take more than one portable system with you can just be a nuisance. When they announced the Switch, Nintendo seemed to have a product on their hands that would not only replace the Wii U as the home console, but would allow the 3DS to finally rest in peace as well. Yet, here we are with the re-release of the original Luigi’s Mansion and the game is only releasing on the 3DS!? Really? The 3DS? With a newly announced sequel underway it seems that the Switch would be the ideal platform for fans to replay this under appreciated GameCube Launch title, yet Nintendo seems unwilling to let the 3DS die.

Vertical Drop Heroes HD – Review (Switch)

Phil Neyman08 mins

Roguelike games have been growing in popularity over the last few years. They bring a sense of nostalgia back for older gamers that grew up in an era where roguelike wasn’t just a genre, it was a way of life. There was no saving your game and picking up where you left off. You played the game until you died and then started over. Thankfully, games have evolved over time. However, for those still yearning for those days –  games like Vertical Drop Heroes HD can scratch the itch.

Sony’s Complacency Could Be Their Undoing

Phil Neyman09 mins

It’s hard to argue with anyone that tells you Sony has all but won this console generation from the get go. From the moment Microsoft introduced us to the Xbox One, Sony was already in the lead. With a focus on being the center of your living room rather than focusing on the games, Microsoft gave Sony the chance to take back the lead in the console wars… a lead that they hadn’t seen since the PlayStation 2. While Sony has taken that lead and ran with it over the course of this generation, they now find themselves in a place where, if they aren’t careful, they’ll begin to fall behind again the same way they did last generation to the Xbox 360.

Hacky Sack or HackyZack? – Review (Switch)

Phil Neyman08 mins

HackyZack is a puzzle platformer that is all about kicking various types of balls into a goal. Sounds simple, right? Well think again. Though the premise is simple the execution is not so much. We know very little about Zack and why he’s kicking these balls around and, to be honest, that’s okay. A game like this doesn’t need some grand story to explain why he is doing what he is doing you just need to dive in and experience it.
