5 Things Today’s Console Gamers Take for Granted
Since I literally got into gaming when video games were first mass-marketed for the general public, my view on gaming has been skewed by my experiences over the years. This is most evident when my daughter bitches about something while playing a game that makes me want to get on my old-man soapbox and wax about the old days. She recently whined about having to save a game because we had to go some...[Read More]

Salt and Sanctuary Review
Eight hours in, and my skull has been bashed in more times than I care to count. My latest death is at the hands of a the Kraekan Cyclops. He’s actually wiped the floor with my face thrice. I keep going back, because I will be DAMNED if that big, cleaver wielding Darkheart wanna-be gets the best of me! The game is Salt and Sanctuary. It has me in its grip, and I refuse to stop until I wrench mysel...[Read More]

BROFORCE REVIEW
Imagine a game that channeled everything we loved about the action movies of the 80s and 90s. Imagine a game that took the concept behind The Expendables and ramped it up to 11. Now imagine that this mythical game was a pixel art platformer that harnessed all the goodness already mentioned. Now stop imagining, grab a PS4 controller, and download Broforce this very instant! I will admit, I did not ...[Read More]

Just Cause 3 : Sky Fortress DLC Review
While I’m not a fan of DLC that adds content seemingly walled off of base titles, I am a proponent of DLC in concept. Basically, DLC should feel like added content, not content that was cordoned off before initial release to be sold later (i.e. Evolve’s Season Pass). My favorite example of DLC done right is Grand Theft Auto IV’s episodic add-ons, The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and The Damned....[Read More]
When Retro Goes Bad
When it comes to video games, I am nostalgic to a fault. As the “old-school gaming expert” of the Digital Crack network, I always look at all things gaming with nostalgic glasses. Many times, it makes me sound archaic and out of touch with current trends. However, I feel that having roots in traditional gaming gives me a good perspective on what goes on in gaming now and how it benefits or hinders...[Read More]
From Decks to Digital: Pokémon’s 20th Anniversary
When I found out that Pokémon was celebrating its 20th anniversary this past weekend, a flood of thoughts and memories flooded my brain. First thought: I’m an old bastard! OK, that is not a fair point to make. I’m the oldest member of the Digital Crack Network by a country mile, so I’m an old bastard whether Pokémon existed or not. But all of my memories of the series always result in my se...[Read More]
