Let’s Talk About ‘Carto’ – A Map-Making Puzzle Game About Making Friends and Finding Family

https://youtu.be/MrLp01aY5UQ I've been steadily making my way through some of the shorter indie games on Xbox Game Pass, with the latest being a charming little puzzle adventure called Carto.

[LATE TO THE PARTY] ‘The Council’ is a Wonderfully Janky Gothic Adventure

Back when episodic adventure games were all the rage, mostly thanks to the success of Telltale's offerings and darlings like Life is Strange, developer Big Bad Wolves released the choose-your-own-adventure gothic-as-hell detective game The Council.

Friday! Video games! Let's talk! Yesterday was my last official day of the fall semester. Not only that, but my last day of college for... quite a while. I'm three classes away from my AA, but I live in the middle of nowhere and have to take all of my classes online. These three just …

It’s the Freakin’ Weekend! So What are You Playing?

Friday! Video games! Let's talk! With Super Mario Odyssey out of the way, this weekend I'll be focusing mostly on finishing up Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Mario Odyssey was incredible and I'm still making my way through the post-game content, but it's sharing "short burst" duty with Steamworld Dig 2 on my Switch -- …

It’s the Freakin’ Weekend! So What are You—oh, Probably Super Mario Odyssey.

Friday! Video games! Let's talk! Today is perhaps the biggest day for new game releases in 2017. If reviews are anything to by, Super Mario Odyssey is expectedly excellent, Wolfenstein II is scoring incredibly well, and Ubisoft's year off with Assassin's Creed seems to have paid dividends with Origins.
