Pile of Shame: Search for the Codex (Dead Space 3)

Pile of Shame is a series where I attempt to wade through the endless amount of unfinished games in my library, as well as tackling classic games that I’ve never gotten around to. Each month I’ll be revising the 10 current titles I’ll be playing, with a post on each individual game sharing my thoughts and … Continue reading →

Pile of Shame: Where to begin?

What is it with the second game in popular video game series? Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid all had strange follow ups that managed to ditch much of what made the original games such an interesting new concept. Final Fantasy is no different and fans are rarely quiet when it comes to the dark … Continue reading →
