A Little Justification for my Madden Post

Mephisto Mori/ December 5, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I’m not a big fan of sports games. They’re the genre I play the least. Don’t get me wrong, I had a few I liked growing up. A short list: Tecmo Bowl (the original) Super High Impact Football Super Baseball 2020 NBA Jam (because who didn’t like a little BoomShakaLaka?) Mutant League Hockey and Mutant League Football.  Especially Mutant League Football

As Promised: A Tale of 20 Years Ago

Mephisto Mori/ December 4, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Time to weigh in on this #20YearsofPlay business. In 1994 I was a Nintendo kid. I had a pawnshop SNES and a duct taped controller. Like every kid with an SNES that year, I spent a lot of time playing Final Fantasy VI – 3 to me. That game lead to my love affair with the Playstation a couple years later. But this

  The 20th anniversary of Playstation is upon us… I feel like I should do a full post of my early PS memories.  Final Fantasy 7 and Legacy of Kain and Resident Evil would all be nostalgiagasmed over…  but that’s for another time. I’m really here to talk about how bitchin’ awesome the Retro PS4 looks.  If I didn’t already

Games I’ve Been too Soft on Recently

Destiny jumps immediately to mind.  Infamous: Second Son is the other one that haunts me. Destiny: Destiny is not a complete experience in every way I could mean that.  Without friends it’s not as much fun.  If you hit “the end” you’re left feeling empty.  And the story, which I said was offensively generic, becomes even more appalling when you weigh everything

The Critic’s Dilemma

Mephisto Mori/ November 26, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Sometimes I write a review for a game and feel I’ve been “too nice” for how terrible I thought the game was.  It’s the horrible plight of trying to maintain an objective, but entertaining edge. But if I’m too nice then there is a crop of reviewers out their basically giving out free blowjobs to horrible games. Take the Assassin’s

Voice Actor Duel. Hayter v. Baker

Mephisto Mori/ November 18, 2014/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I want to see David Hayter duel Troy Baker for title of most Bad Ass video game voice actor. At the top of my list for biggest video game bad asses are Solid Snake and Joel (TLoU).  And their voice actors are partially responsible for the gravitas of these two icons.  Would Snake and Joel be as awesome without their
