Madden NFL 2001Words wont capture what this game means to me and the nostalgia it has. I probably played close to 300 hours on this. Every single day after school I would come home and play 4-6 games in my franchise. I don't even know how many seasons I did. This was the next generation of sports games, and at the time, it looked phenomenal on the PS2. This was the first sports game I ever got hooked on, it is a pillar in the sports game world...

MarathonIn less than half a year and here we received another great extraction shooter…although opposite in several ways from Arc Raiders. Just like Arc I was frustrated in the beginning but I ended up loving this game once I got some hours in. The whole concept is similar though. You’re in a post apocalyptic world fighting against invading robotic entities (UESC) and other players (Runners) in a struggle to loot what you can while completing objectives. However it’s much more fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat, literally. I would..

Slay the Spire 2Slay the spire is a game that I have played for quite a few years now, and seen played for even longer. It has to be one of the best, if not the best of the deck building roguelites that I have personally played. The combats are diverse in what types of enemies you face, and it always switches up from your first run to the next. Being able to have a unique gameplay is something that slay the spire has always done very well, and it the dev team works closely with its players to announce new changes within something they call the..

Brighter ShoresThis game has been a decent relaxing MMO option. It is a total grindfest, but it can be nice sometimes to just mindlessly wander around and complete quests while leveling your skills. It is made by the creator of RuneScape and looks and behaves quite similarly (point-and-click to interact, tile-based world). It's free-to-play without microtransactions shoved down your throat at every opportunity and the interface feels very lightweight. There is a premium pass available for $6/month that, at the time of writing, unlocks two more areas..

MarathonAfter following the development of both Marathon and Arc Raiders for years, I finally got my hands on both! This game will be perfect for when I'm tired of Arc Raiders or vice versa. 'Image 'Get ready for some incredible looking environments!'' The art style alone is almost worth the $40. There are some really saturated colors in some of the rooms you'll explore that just look 'awesome', not to mention all of the futuristic design and typography. I like that Bungie purposely didn't go for photorealism and..

Arc RaidersI was reluctant to purchase this game a few months after it came out because I wasn’t really a fan of The Finals, the previous title by the developer. However I was looking to try something new (especially a third person shooter) and I took @blustrkr’s recommendation for this game. My first statement about ARC Raiders is this: It’s rough starting out. I almost quit the game entirely after my first few hours and thought “Another game I don’t like by Embark”. My advice is if you try this game out is to keep going. The reason..

HighguardNot my usual type of game, but it was free so I figured why not. The gameplay seems like Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals, and Deadlock had a baby. Even some of the sound effects sound like they came straight from Deadlock. 'Image 'The main menu where you'll spend your time when not in-game.'' Basically the premise of the game is you spawn in with two teammates, facing off against one other team of three, and you "build up your base" (reinforce select doors, walls, and windows with the press of a button) and..

Counter-Strike 2Counter-Strike 2 is one of the best made FPS games in a long time. It's very different from the FPS shooters that people may normally think of, and is incredibly reliant on good strategy and game knowledge. This includes specific grenades, callouts, bomb defusal timing, and intricate spray patterns. Being able to improve and learn more about the game always gives players a massive sense of accomplishment for the work that they put in. I'm so glad that I discovered this game and put my time into it. The community can be incredibly..

Arc RaidersEmbark Studios' second game is here after some delays, and this time around it's a third-person PvEvP extraction shooter. These aren't normally my type of game, but after following its development for quite some time (including going from Embark's planned first release to second) and finally hearing a bunch of hype from friends and family, I had to get it. 'Image 'Plenty of eye candy!'' The graphics look great. The lighting looks fantastic. There are also weather conditions like rain, fogginess, and..

Half-Life 2I first experienced this game via 'The Orange Box' on Xbox 360 in the 2000s, and I'm glad I did! It easily goes up there with the original Halo games as some of the best first-person shooter games of all time. It was basically my introduction to Valve as previously I had been pretty obsessed with Halo, Battlefield, Gears of War, and even the OG Call of Duty games. It takes place in a very dystopian authoritarian society, but it feels so different compared to other games with the same theme. Valve just has their own style that they..

AshenReally enjoyed this game a lot. It was my introduction to the soulslike genre. It's pretty tough and unforgiving sometimes, which from my understanding is a good representation of the genre. I love the kind of "flat" art style and faceless characters, and it was what drew me to this game. Funny how in the endless chase for photorealism, more "basic" games like these catch my eye more and more. 'Image 'Pretty awesome looking in my opinion!'' My main complaints are that it was way too short..

TunicI haven't beaten this yet but I'm quite far into it, and I already know this game is just perfect. It gives me pretty much the same feeling I had when I played Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time way back when. I got to play it for "free" as it was included with my Game Pass subscription, but I will probably end up buying it eventually anyway because it's so awesome. 'Image 'Some super bold colors in this game. The environments look so pleasing.'' You play as a nameless fox hero. The..

Fallout 3: Operation AnchorageI remember jumping into this expansion well before I probably should've, but that's the beauty of Bethesda games! You can generally do whatever you want. Fallout 3 was my first foray into the famous series, and this expansion was within my first 10 hours or so of playtime. I ended up getting winterized T-51b power armor and a gauss rifle from this expansion which gave me a pretty substantial buff early on. If you want a bit more of a challenge in your playthrough, you may want to wait until later on to do this expansion. It was..

Battlefield 6Well, we finally got it. Another BF game. I was personally hyped for this game considering I haven’t played a BF game in about ten years. I won’t say I was let down, but it wasn’t totally was I was hoping for. I say that unbiasedly as someone who is a fan of CoD. I started with completing the campaign which was overall pretty solid. It had a decent storyline and each chapter was entertaining. The environments were graphically stunning as well in certain areas. Then came multiplayer. It took some getting used to. I thought most of..

Battlefield 6We've all been waiting years for a new modern combat Battlefield game, and here it is, complete with a single player campaign and all (but no co-op missions 😔). While not perfect, there's plenty to love and the launch has been much smoother than previous titles. It also looks like with Season 1 releasing tomorrow there's quite a bit more on the way including a new free-to-play mode called Battlefield: RedSec. Overall I am pleased with how the game runs. The beta was already pretty solid despite hundreds of thousands of..

Wipeout PureIf I had to quickly answer "what's your favorite PSP game?" I'd probably have to go with WipEout PurE just based on time spent playing alone! I had every livery in the game unlocked and heard every song in the soundtrack at least a few dozen times each. It's a futuristic racing game similar to F-Zero or Redout, with even a little Mario Kart mixed in. While racing on the track, you can steer just right to go over boost pads or powerup pads that give you things like a shield or missiles. As you progress through the..

Counter-Strike 2Coming from a lifetime of mostly console gaming, Counter-Strike 2 has been a big culture shock for me. I'm not exactly new to PC gaming, but the difference in time spent between PC and console is still noteworthy. The closest thing I've played to CS2 before would have to be 'Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield'. I should note that while I was aware of Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike 1.6, and Counter-Strike: Source as a kid, I never really played them because I was too busy being obsessed with Halo, Gears of War, and Battlefield. I'm..

Gears of War: ReloadedI really like the OG Gears of War series, but I also went into this with realistic expectations thinking this was basically a slightly upgraded Gears of War Ultimate Edition which I've already played the hell out of. While unfortunately I was correct in my presumptions, some fun was still had. As a series player I'm not sure if that's just rose tinted glasses or not. It is worth mentioning that as an owner of Ultimate Edition, I got Reloaded for free from Microsoft. The inclusion of PlayStation players feels both awesome and..
