I hope the games listed for 2015 weren’t announced too early. But my understanding of this is to let us gamers know that Nintendo is working on these titles. My best guess is that Star Fox might barrel roll into stores during winter with the last two titles listed. I think Skyward Sword released in the month of games (November) when the game came out, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

Games I’m looking forward too:

I hear Platinum Games makes really great games, so I’m looking forward in playing Bayonetta 2. The physical copy should be shipping with the first game and that’s nice.

Hyrule Warriors is coming up this month and from all the .gifs I’ve been creating and posting to my tumblr obviously shows how much excited I am for the game.

I honestly feel like getting that Just Dance game just to have one. Maybe then I can be the best dancer I can ever be.

Then there’s Super Smash Bros. 4. I think every one is excited for this, no joke. I was never good in any of the previous titles, but I don’t care. They’ve always been fun and Captain Falcon is my hero.

Cheers!

Hi all!

If you’ve reached this page, then you’re probably a person that plays video games and needed some material to read. I started this site so I can start writing about video games and maybe expand into tabletop games and pen and paper RPGs. For now, I’d like to concentrate on video games.

I’m sure there are those who already believe that the industry is stagnant with video game journalists, writers, bloggers, vloggers, personalities, and critics. I’m one of those believers, but here I am doing the writing anyway. In no way am I a journalist, but I will be yet another critic.

Right now I’m in no connection with the industry whatsoever. There are no companies that send me goodies or free games to help out their business because that’s what my real job is for: Food service. I work in food service so I can buy games and write about them.

When playing a game I’ll be thinking about the atmosphere, game mechanics, and graphical performance. I’ve lumped in story and music with atmosphere if you’re wondering where those are. Game mechanics are things like combat system, AI system, controls, engines and other things like that. I’m a big advocate on graphical performance. I believe a game can run at 60fps and shouldn’t be anything lower. If you’re sitting and playing for hours on end, then the graphics better look good and perform better.

I’ll also post information about video games coming soon so I’m not just locked on what’s out now. I’ve had this personal rule in not watching trailers and teasers, and another rule in not partaking in any sort of hype with and from the community. This made me love games more for some reason, but I don’t get to angry if a game ends up terrible. An example of this is I honestly thought Duke Nukem Forever was a good and fun game.

I’ve broken my first rule about trailers and teasers a long time ago so I’ll be gathering those videos and post them here so you don’t have scurry through different YouTube channels in search for them.

All in all, I just want to be an information hub for video games and leave the choice up to you whether or not a game I’m playing sounds interesting to you. By a gamer for a gamer.

Cheers!
