The DOSBox people are doing god's work. There's just no other way to play a great many legacy pc games without it. What's funny is even Steam was selling the original Doom without updating it to work natively in a modern Windows environment i recent years! You had to use DOSBox to play it, which...

Another classic game I'd love to see more of is Turok. I know it's been tried, and mostly failed, across various platforms, but I cannot help but feel the ingredients are all right. The original game is a shooter/platformer classic that hasn't aged well, but which should please fans of the...

I know quite a bit about the Call of Duty franchise and I can personally attest the net code for that game is a wreck. It's shoddy right out of the box. It has built in lag compensation which actually slows down faster users! Can you imagine what the conversation was in the board room where they...

Our family had a Commodore 64 back in the day and it came with a mountain of games. I couldn't tell you which is the oldest for certain. We had Apocalypse, which is a helicopter rescue game where you fly underground to save soldiers trapped behind enemy lines. There was Rat Race where you...

I returned Lego Jurassic Park. The premise sounded really cute and humorous. I have a huge nerd-rager for monster movies of any sort, too, so this sounded like it would be right up my ally. Unfortunately, the game turned out to be very one dimensional. I wasn't expecting The Last of Us or...

I do this entirely to many nights with World of Warcraft. That's a game that is so dense with content I legitimately believe no one has seen it all. What's cool about it is that the things you do in the game all feed back into a few major goals so you're constantly working towards a common end...

I know in the Google Play app there are a million Sudoku games to browse. It's an excellent puzzle game where you have to use various lines of reasoning to logically deduce what number should be in any given cell in a grid. Numbers will only appear once in a row, once in a column, and once in...

For starters I should say that I love meta-gaming. My brother and I used to do things like seeing who could get through Super Mario Bros levels without collecting coins, or getting the most or least points long before achievements were formally a thing. When I play on a system or piece of...

I think in some cases it can be cured with a brace and a severely restricted movement regimen. That's nice on paper but in the real world most of us cannot do things with our feet. For me the brace didn't work at all. The pain comes and goes. I get "time off" if I do my stretches regularly and...

I know it's not the go-to option, but for me Button Forge has become absolutely necessary to my play style. It lets you create and resize fully customizable action bars. You can have many of them with as many slots as you like. They can be set to come up when you're in a vehicle and change with...

I have had a Switch since day one. While I was skeptical of it, initially, its quirks have grown on me a lot over the months. I really enjoy a lot about the hardware. But to be honest, I have to say at this time it's probably not worth the investment. Launch years are notoriously devoid of...

Nintendo will probably always be able to bank on the Zelda, Pokemon, and Metroid franchises, as well as the Mario games. But I do agree that there's a bit of over saturation in Nintendo's business model. Their racing game is Mario Kart. Their fighting game is heavily Mario influenced. When they...

I think this is a really healthy attitude to take. I know I have a bad habit of letting my frivolities distract me when I should be doing something productive. It's kind of a weird way to put it, but what you're doing is essentially gamifying the act of gaming by using it as a reward for...

Not in any good way! If I've been super obsessive about a game it may intrude on my dreams. I've had that happen with the Grand Theft Auto series, as well as World of Warcraft. When you can close your eyes and still see the HUD you know it's time to get back to real life. :sweatsmile: I have...

I think the narrative is really good. I've enjoyed the themes and interpretations of Greek mythology through this series and the shift to other mythologies is a welcome change. Having said that, I'm very lukewarm about this title. No matter what coat of paint you put on it, it's still a...

As someone who is paying the price for a life spent holding controllers, keyboards, and string instruments for most of the day, every day, I can tell you stretches are super important to add to this list. All gamers should look up a few quick wrist, finger and arm stretches they can do a few...
