    Anemic VR port that isn't worth buying in it's current state. Right now, I can't recommend the game. The soundtrack is what sold it to me and the idea of combining shooter and rhythm gaming works beautifully. But this VR port just doesn't do it for me. The spawn behavior of the enemies forces the player to chase them around in corners that had already been cleared out before. Which doesn't gel with the slower …

    I played the PC version of this game and (despite my history with rhythm games), I didn't like it too much. Ended up refunding it. I try the VR version, and it is SO SO much better than the PC version. The weapons are even cooler in VR, dodging and weaving feels better to do. The hells feel even larger than before. I do feel like the game could be nauseating to new VR users, but I feel like thats a given with a game …

    Doom Eternal meets Pistol Whip Finally Officially for VR!! This game translated to VR wonderfully! For those who don't know what Metal: Hellsinger is, imagine you took DOOM Eternal and put it into a blender with Pistol Whip, you have an insane experience that makes you rock out with a metal soundtrack, shooting demons on the beat of the music of an absolute killer of a soundtrack! --- What is different from the free …

    I used Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 as an excuse to reevaluate Metal Gear Solid 4, a game that increasingly feels like it’s from another world. It’s hard to imagine a big budget game that is this direct about real world issues ever existing again. www.polygon.com/metal-gear-s...

    FPS games have notoriously been used as a recruitment tool by the US military. So much of what gets released is just state department propaganda. The exception is stuff like Spec Ops, Metal Gear, and Bioshock that use narrative to prompt players to critique and reflect on what they're doing.

    Day 826 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing. Today’s game is Sonic CD. I had intended on beating it today but one level of Metallic Madness gave me so much trouble that I just decided a break was needed. It’s funny in retrospect even if frustrating. The first time I managed to clip into a box on accident somehow and got spat out at the bottom right before it crushed me. The second time I got hit by one of those exploding guys. Same thing for the 3rd. 4th I somehow…
