Now Hear Me Out: Multiple Endings in Puzzle Games

Now you know I have to mention game story at least once a month. It is sort of an unwritten rule at this point. At least it was until a few seconds ago. Now I am not going to pretend that every puzzle game needs a good story. That would be a bit unreasonable ofContinue reading “Now Hear Me Out: Multiple Endings in Puzzle Games”

The Spiraling Logic Cliché

This month we will be focusing on puzzle games. I like to unwind a bit every now and then by trying to challenge my brain a little bit.

Thoughts on 2D vs. 3D Shooters

I’m honestly not sure what my first experience with 2D shooters was or when I first played one.

Thoughts on Kingdom Hearts III

I think we all knew things had to end like this. Or maybe it was just me considering I came up with this plan from the beginning. I couldn’t help myself. It was too tempting to not hold off my general thoughts and ramblings of the final conclusion to this saga that has taken nearlyContinue reading “Thoughts on Kingdom Hearts III”
