29 Great Detective Games

Over my 15+ years of gaming, I’ve encountered – and fallen in love with – all kinds of genres. Action, fantasy, puzzle, platformer, mystery, strategy, roguelikes, RPG, JRPG … you name it, I’ve probably tried and adored it. But one gaming niche which I’ve taken most fondly to, the genre I keep emptying my SteamContinue reading “29 Great Detective Games”

Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Twisted Karma and His Last Bow” (Case 2-4)

“Twisted Karma and His Last Bow” is the first case of a two part finale, and the stakes have never been higher. Will “Resolve” end on a high, or will it crumble under the pressure of an extensive Deep Dive? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out ofContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Twisted Karma and His Last Bow” (Case 2-4)”

Resident Evil – Every Location Ranked (Modern Games)

At the start of the 2010’s, the “Resident Evil” franchise looked certain to fall into obscurity. But, against all odds, “Resident Evil 7” ushered in a new golden age for the franchise – the modern era has been banger title after banger title. Now that I’ve played every “modern” game in the franchise (i.e. 7,Continue reading “Resident Evil – Every Location Ranked (Modern Games)”

Top 33 “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” Songs

We’re living in a golden age of videogame OSTs. Soundtracks from FromSoft games, Nintendo games or the “Persona” series (to name a few) have gone down as modern classics … and one recent soundtrack which immediately entered the pantheon of greats was Lorien Testard’s work on “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33”. I thought it would beContinue reading “Top 33 “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” Songs”

Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Return of the Great Departed Soul” (Case 2-3)

Out of all the cases in the “Great Ace Attorney” duology, “The Return of the Great Departed Soul” was the one I was most looking forward to reviewing. I remembered it being one of the best cases in the series … but does it still hold up? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinctContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Return of the Great Departed Soul” (Case 2-3)”

Every Steven Moffat “Doctor Who” Episode Ranked

Now that “Doctor Who” has entered another hiatus period, I’ve been looking back on my favourite episodes and eras with a newfound fondness. One of the biggest winners after this whole RTD2 debacle has been Steven Moffat. I used to think his era (Seasons 5 to 10) was lesser on the whole than RTD’s firstContinue reading “Every Steven Moffat “Doctor Who” Episode Ranked”

Top 50 StarKid Songs

Now that I’ve watched every StarKid musical and have become a big fan (I even ranked all of their shows!), I think it’s time I did the big one – a ranking of their fifty best songs. Based on my personal opinions, of course. This will obviously be a matter of taste, but there’s oneContinue reading “Top 50 StarKid Songs”

Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro” (Case 2-2)

We’ve had flashback cases in the series before, but “The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro” marked the first time an Ace Attorney case took place inside (or close enough to) another case’s chronology. There’s a lot to unpack here as a result … so it’s time for a Deep Dive! I’ll be deconstructing the caseContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro” (Case 2-2)”

Every Team StarKid Musical Ranked

About a month ago, I got a YouTube recommendation which would come to define my summer. It was “Nerdy Prudes Must Die” by a YouTube channel called Team StarKid. I was in a musicals mood, so I thought “What the hell? Maybe it’ll be fun”. Little did I know that I’d spend the next fewContinue reading “Every Team StarKid Musical Ranked”

Top 20 Videogame Worlds

For a story to work, you need the combination of three things – a great plot, compelling characters and an interesting world. That last one is even more important in videogame narratives, as the worlds players explore can make or break the entire experience. I’ve played in some amazing gaming worlds over the years, butContinue reading “Top 20 Videogame Worlds”
