'Dragon Quest XI'
Dragon Quest XI, what could one say about one of the best games in the franchise other than the fact that it is the longest in the entire history of the Dragon Quest-verse. However, I can say that I clearly underestimated how long this game was which, if we’re being honest here, is a big mistake to any gamer considering that every Dragon Quest game is long.

Top 5 Most Overrated Video Games of the Recent Decade
If Pablo Picasso had painted eight pieces of the exact same subject and background, and tried to profit off a museum full of just that same painting over and over again, he'd be forcibly committed, or at least decommissioned. So why are game developers getting away with it? How many fucking Mario clones are going to spawn from Nintendo-like eggs from a salmon? But it's not just the game developers, it's the publishers. Electronic Arts (EA) is allowed to release the same damn sports games every year, but even the most promising new idea discussed in a business meeting is squashed in favor of another Assassin's Creed, another Far Cry game, another Call of Duty.

10 Forgotten Video Game Heroes You Miss (Or Never Even Saw). Top Story - November 2018.
When I was young, I wasn't allowed to have the expensive video games everyone else did. I didn't get Super Mario. Hell, I didn't get Sonic the Hedgehog until I was 14 and the game was over 10 years old.

Top 5 Worst Escort Missions in Horror Games
In horror games, you're already trying to escape infinite peril, but some game developers decided that survival of one character isn't enough. The only companions I have no issues with are dogs because...dogs. But that's because they offer friendship and bite monsters on the shins so you can bludgeon them to death. Helpless, weaponless companions are nothing more than liabilities, like that dorky kid that wouldn't stop following you around the playground in elementary school. Oh, wait...I was that dorky kid. Repression powers activate!

PS4 Spider-Man: Backpack Collections
Spider-Man (a.k.a. Peter Parker) is notorious for losing his backpack, which comes with losing all of the cool stuff that he has collected over the years. Now you can choose to go through the game without collecting these backpacks, if you do choose not to, then you will not be able to unlock suits, suits mods or gadget upgrades. The reason for you not being able to unlock or upgrade these items is because you don't have enough tokens. There are six kinds of tokens, one of them, from collecting your old backpacks. By having these tokens you can wear new suits, and upgrade them, and use cool gadgets that can not only help you fight crime but fight it in style.

The Top 7 Most WTF 'Silent Hill' Puzzles
There's a term gamers use to define the silly arduous puzzles we encounter in games: A "moon logic" puzzle. They are the puzzles that are poetic and metaphoric than practical. When it comes to moon logic puzzles, Silent Hill is one of the best (or worst?) at implementing them into the gameplay and story. Sometimes these stories just don't make any damn sense at all, but neither do monsters with two sets of legs, or monsters that are psychological manifestations of trigonometry homework.

Sonic Adventure 2 Isn't Such A Bad Game
As you might have heard, from many, many people, Sonic Adventure 2 hasn't aged well. The voice acting for the English version was poorly cut, the camera is hard to control, and there are a few glitches. While I can work past the poorly edited cut scenes, the other two are completely dependent on the player. Also, many people have complained that the mech levels and the treasure hunting levels should not be a part of a Sonic game.

Five Tips for Completing Time-Trials/Speed-Runs
Sometimes I wonder if hurting yourself to get achievements/trophies counts as self-harm. What is with the human psyche's desire to make itself suffer for meaningless medallions? I'm honestly not that fussed with getting platinum trophies, but I challenged myself playing the Tomb Raider Anniversary Time Trials because you get special weapons for doing so. I have a love/hate relationship with Lara in this game, because while I love all the acrobatic moves she can do and the jumping puzzles are fun, sometimes she gets cranky. It doesn't matter if I'm long-pressing the action button or not, sometimes she just does not want to jump to a far-away ledge. Makes me wonder if I should get her counseling.
