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. However, there is something that crops up a lot in different puzzle games to the point that I would like to consider it as a cliché. YouContinue reading “The Spiraling Logic Cliché”

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. I would love to say it was Space Invaders but that would make me a liar and I would prefer that if I have to lie to my readers, it wouldn’t be two sentences into a blogContinue reading “Thoughts on 2D vs. 3D Shooters”
Now Hear Me Out: Stories in Shooters
If you know me, you know that when I play a videogame I like it to have a good story. It isn’t a deal breaker if it doesn’t, but I like to at least have some sort of direction and understanding of the stakes. Now in my personal experience I usually see three different waysContinue reading “Now Hear Me Out: Stories in Shooters”
Regenerating Health Cliché
One thing I didn’t go into specifics on is the mechanics on more modern day shooters. The entire structure for them has changed and there are certain things one can expect to see from them. One of the most notorious is regenerating health. Now while it wasn’t an entirely new concept, I don’t expect thatContinue reading “Regenerating Health Cliché”
Thoughts on the Shooters of Today
This month I am going to venture out of my comfort zone and so we will be talking about shooters. The reason this is outside my comfort zone is because while shooters take up a considerable part of today’s industry, I am not very good at them. I don’t want to say I am awful,Continue reading “Thoughts on the Shooters of Today”
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”
The Power of Friendship Cliché
Hey everyone, it’s time for another cliché! However, I wasn’t sure which one I wanted to pick this time. Like I said before, there are so many different ones to choose from in this series. However, I realized that this was the first time I was covering a JRPG series on this blog. For theContinue reading “The Power of Friendship Cliché”
Now Hear Me Out: Birth by Sleep and Prequels
Now in earlier posts I have mentioned that there were some prequels that I found feel cliché and do not really add anything on their own. Now I am not opposed to having prequels to games and I want to make that point clear. Prequels can be interesting as long as they are trying toContinue reading “Now Hear Me Out: Birth by Sleep and Prequels”
Now Hear Me Out: Multiple Consoles and Kingdom Hearts
I see what the plan was Square Enix. You had ambition. You thought that you should use some of your greatest characters along with some of the most popular characters of all time to create an epic adventure across multiple games so that you could go nuts with all of the crazy ideas you haveContinue reading “Now Hear Me Out: Multiple Consoles and Kingdom Hearts”
Kingdom Hearts and the Dialogue Cliché
Why did I decide to do this again? Someone please tell me why I though this was a good idea. I understand that there were other themes I could have gone with here. So tell me what I am doing theming a month around the Kingdom Hearts series. I must have officially lost my mind.Continue reading “Kingdom Hearts and the Dialogue Cliché”
