Final reviews, features of 2016

I reviewed a trio of games for Cinema Blend recently, including the new Call of Duty, a VR pinball game and the long-awaited The Last Guardian, making for a nice mix of games spread across the spectrum. There's also a little something here for fans of the NES Classic Edition.

December 2015 Features And Reviews

This month has been utterly insane, what with the holidays and my getting ready to shift into a new position as editor for the local paper. That didn't stop me from playing games, though. Here are some of my bigger stories that ran this month.

November 2015 features and reviews

November, for me, was all about Yo-Kai Watch for the Nintendo 3DS. I played the game for review and even did a couple of extra features for Gaming Blend talking about the game's history and how it compares to Pokemon. I did a couple of other lists, too, but what's the point if they don't feature adorable ghosts and creatures of folklore?
