The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess teaches us about the responsibility of wielding power, and what power can do to those that do not know courage.

A casual and nostalgic reflection on the Nintendo GameCube, what it meant to me, and where it stands in the history of its medium.

🍂🐍💀 How to make a Bad VR Game - Sniper Elite VR 💀🐍🍂

Sniper Elite VR just needed to do 2 things to be decent: be a good Sniper Elite game, and be a good VR game. Unfortunately it did neither. It omits the sandbox-style tactical stealth action that the series is known for, and it fails to pull off even the most basic requirements of a VR FPS game. Sniper Elite 4 is game that can stand toe to toe with the likes of Metal Gear Solid V and Hitman, but its VR adaptation lacks that same quality. There are better Sniper Elite games to play than this, and there are also better VR games to play than this. Here’s why.

For the longest time, the Bogdanoff brothers were most well known for getting nonsense Ph.Ds. But recently, they've become well know for something entirely different...and much more sinister...

Super Monkey Ball is back (hopefully for good). While Banana Mania doesn't feel as tight as the originals, its new engine has purpose, and it serves as an excellent tribute to a timeless pack of levels. Welcome back, my beloved monkeys.

This is a retrospective on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - my favorite game of all time.

An in-depth analysis of Donkey Kong 64 for the Nintendo 64. It's finally here. Performing for you. If you know the words, I guess you can watch something else, because you already know what I'm going to say.

It began as a forum post, but it quickly snowballed into a national new story. This is BOG.TXT.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater did a lot for skateboarding and game design, and the franchise was once highly regarded. This video analyzes the series' impact, fall from grace, and everything in between.

In the past, I've discussed how trading quests and seeking out information can shape areas in a Zelda game. For Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, Hidemaro Fujibayashi and his team chose to implement their incredible new ideas and mechanics around this philosophy in an effort to channel the original Zelda. The result is a wildly entertaining, challenging, puzzling, and ultimately enjoyable couple of games that don't get the attention they deserve. They're not perfect, but they represent a leap of faith for the developers, and for the rest of the series.
