Is the Plural “Calls of Duty” or “Call of Duties” ?

I am rapidly running out of Call of Duty games.  Knocking out MW3 and BLOPs in the last few days leaves me with only Call of Duty 3 – the rather poorly-received console-exclusive entry in the series – and the … Continue reading

I’m a Squid Now

  In all honestly, it probably wasn’t worth buying a new console for one game and the promise of four or five games to come, but I don’t have buyer’s remorse yet.  Splatoon is as much manic fun as all … Continue reading

CoD: Mewtwo

I am really bad at playing games in series order. I got introduced to the Call of Duty series with the second installment, enjoyed that enough to buy Modern Warfare within the first week or two of its release – … Continue reading

Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae

Normally I try to come up with clever titles for posts. At first, I considered “The Only Thing That Can Stop A Bad Girl With A Sword Is A Good Girl With A Sword”, but that seemed excessively long. Then … Continue reading

Fly Me To The Moon, And Let Me Slay Among The Stars

The last Suda51 game I played was Liberation Maiden, a short but terribly enjoyable 3DS game with an absurd premise and a little cheesecake.  It was fun, but it wasn’t really what I expected from something with the Grasshopper Manufacture … Continue reading

Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries

The “Classic Fairy Tale, just darker” thing is perilously close to a cliche, these days.  ABC has gotten four seasons of Once Upon a Time out of it, with a fifth on the way, and I’m not ashamed to admit … Continue reading

Let’s Get Kraken

I have stupid levels of hype for Nintendo’s upcoming game Splatoon.  It has more style than any one title should rightly be allowed to have, and everything they’ve been releasing about the online suggests that they are gearing this thing … Continue reading

Time to put Tamriel down for a bit.

I realize you don’t really “finish” an Elder Scrolls game, per se.  Still, I completed both the Dragonborn and Dawnguard expansion storylines in the last few days, and it seems like a good place to take a break. According to … Continue reading
