Marathon is the Game I Didn’t Know I Needed

Bungie and I go back a long way. While I never spent any quality time with the original Marathon titles, in 2000 I had my pre-order ready to go for the Gamecube with no notion of ever wanting this new "Xbox" from Microsoft. Until, that is, I played Halo C.E.…

How Death Stranding 2 Pieced Me Back Together

“Should we have connected?” That was the question legendary creator Hideo Kojima posed in the early marketing of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. On the surface, it felt like a thematic hook—a clever rhetorical tagline that questioned the actions of its forebear. But close to one month later, after…

JRPGs and the Power of the Human Heart

Uncontroversial opinion: Elden Ring is not a JRPG. Slightly less uncontroversial opinion: That isn’t because of the art style. When Xenoblade Chronicles 3 dropped, Rick Hoeg amusedly told the Bitcast “I’m totally ready to save the world with the power of our humanity.” I haven’t gotten around to that game,…

Opinion : Appreciating Bullet Heavens

I counted at least ten in the next group, closing in and circling like lions. The whip returned, soaked from passing quick judgment and leaving a satisfying hiss in its trail. It launched again and again, infinite lashings, arms moving so fast in this forever rhythm, doing all they could…

It's a title set in the Batman universe that doesn’t star Batman and a game that…

The Joys of Minecraft with My Favorite Person

“I built you a house,” my six-year-old niece told me a few months ago. “Whenever you play with me, you have a house,” she continued. What a sweet child. How my heart grew. She’s been asking me to play Minecraft with her for months. I never wanted to play because…

Xbox is Shaping the Future of the Console Ecosystem

Back in October, I wrote about the contrasting approaches Xbox and PlayStation were taking to the new generation of consoles. In the eight months since, I think it's fair to say that Xbox has been the most progressive in advancing their vision of what a console manufacturer, and in a…

Destiny 2, Why Can’t I Quit You?

Once upon a time, someone recommended Destiny 2 to me. I chose a warlock character, and it was a match made in heaven. I fell in love, and it’s been happily ever after ever since. Almost. Since the launch of Destiny 2, I’ve amassed more than 1,100 hours of gameplay,…
