Impressions and Quick Reviews
Whatcha Playin? Vol 1 Spyro Reignited Trilogy Part 1: Spyro the Dragon
Being a Nintendo fanboy my whole life; I had more than enough game franchises to keep me busy and rarely did I feel I was missing out by not owning a Playstation. Years and years later, I finally got my hands on a PS2 and was finally able to experience the system’s heaviest hitters – […]
Whatcha Playin’ Vol 2 – Spyro Reignited Trilogy Part 2: Ripto’s Rage
With how much I enjoyed Spyro’s first outing as part of the Reignited Trilogy pack, it didn’t take any time at all to jump back in for the sequel – Ripto’s Rage.

Whatcha Playin’ Vol 3 – SteamWorld: Heist
A year ago, I made a scathing review of SteamWorld: Dig 2, the latest release from Swedish Producer Image and Form Games in the “SteamWorld”series for the Nintendo Switch.

Whatcha Playin’ Vol 4 – Ocarina of Time: Randomized

But boy-howdy, does it ever bore me these days. After countless hours replaying the […]
Whatcha Playin’ Vol 5 – Slay the Spire
I mentioned this game as one of the best games I played in 2018, but didn’t count it as a true Game of the Year contender because it’s still in early access. I didn’t jump into the game until last summer, but by then three playable characters had already been released and new cards and […]
Whatcha Playin’ Vol 6 – Pikmin 2
I’ve been in a real gaming funk this week – thankfully I’ve been feeling somewhat productive with video and art projects, but regardless, I needed something cozy to unwind with. Enter Pikmin 2. While the first Pikmin was revolutionary for it’s charming presentation and the technical achievement of controlling a hundred little plant soldiers to […]
