FTL: Advanced EditionSubset Games Being a pencil and paper role-playing game geek, video games that give me the opportunities to both role-play, as well as provide emergent storytelling rifts, are pretty big in my book. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Paradox Studios’ Stellaris, has become a favorite of mine. However, a fellow…
Samurai ShodownSNK / Athlon Games Ah…fighting games from the 90s. I’ve tried just about all of them, even some of the Japanese ones that weren’t available in the states since I had a Neo Geo console with an adapter. The Street Fighter series was known as the first fighting game that put competitive hand-to-hand combat…
Samurai ShodownSNK / Athlon Games Back in the 90s it seemed like everybody and their mother was coming out with some sort of fighting game.

Back in the hallowed days of yore when physical arcades were still relatively popular, and I’d meet up with some friends after making a quick trip to the change machine in order to magically transform dollars into handfuls…
Tekken 7 Season 2 Pass Bandai Namco Ah, the glories of fighting games. I remember going down to my local arcade and plunking quarters into many a fighting game when I was a kid. I played everything from weapon-based fighters such as SoulCalibur and Samurai Spirits, to brawlers such as Street Fighter, The Art of…
Northgard Shiro Games It’s sort of sad that the classic real-time strategy games of yore have pretty much disappeared. Tween-bait MOBAS and E-Sports games have pretty much taken over and see no sign of letting up, at least anytime soon. I used to play Age of Empires 2 (and it’s expansion Age of Kings) until…
For Honor Ubisoft I have to admit that I used to be a big fighting game fan. I remember sauntering into my local city arcade with a pocket full of dollar bills, transforming them into handfuls of quarters (or tokens for certain arcades), and then heading to the nearest fighting game cabinet of choice. I’ve…
