Destiny, Mega Man and Stealth

August was a rare month where I didn't have a lot of reviews assigned, so I had the opportunity to sit back, relax, play whatever I felt like and even write a few fun columns about Mega Man, Destiny and the like.

With Metal Gear Solid V and Destiny's The Taken King DLC about to come out, not to mention Project Mirai on the 3DS, things are about to get crazy again. For now, though, here's some of my latest stuff that isn't part of the daily news grind.

Submerged review [via Paste]

Every now and then I get the opportunity to pick up some freelance work at sites other than the one I write for regularly.

Paste recently gave me the chance to review Submerged on the PlayStation 4, so here's what came of that!

Submerged review: All wet

Ethan Carter, Rocket League, video game photography and more

I've managed to keep pretty busy this summer, getting in a couple of reviews and a couple more features amidst my daily articles at Gaming Blend. Here are the latest "bigger" pieces.

Now that E3 2015 is in the rearview mirror, it's time to collect all of my coverage from the show floor in one tidy little post full of links.

Along with coverage from two of the press conferences, I had the opportunity to go hands-on with a number of games, strap some VR gear to my head and even chat up a couple of developers. Check it out...

Some pre-E3 jibba-jabba

I' hitting the  road to E3 in a little over 24 hours, so things are getting kind of crazy in my neck of the woods. Leading up to the big show, I had the opportunity to squeeze in one more review, vent my frustration with the growing trend of instant negativity, and work with my editor to create a pre-E3 press conference prep story.

Dig in. The next update should pull together all of my coverage from E3!

I also managed to fall into a deep, dark abyss on the mobile market known as Love Live: School Idol Festival. Hit the link to find out why I've been so addicted to this sugary-sweet rhythm game, and why it is one of the few free-to-play games I think is actually worth your time.

Reviews and even more Bloodborne

When I wasn't busy playing Bloodborne this past month, I managed to squeeze in quite a few reviews, including a pair of new tables for Zen Pinball, one of my rare takes on a mobile game, as well as the 3DS Attack on Titan game. Believe it or not, there are even more coming in the next couple of weeks, then it's off to E3...I need a nap.
