Video Game Round-Up! - March/April 2019

Helloooooooooooooooooooooo!

It’s time for a new Video Game Round-Up, and it’s only a few days late. Yay me! As you’ll see below, I mostly played games on the Switch. Part of that is because I was traveling for a bit, but the real reason is because Felicia and I are writing Lots of Things With Very Near Deadlines, so I don’t have any time to play games at home, where the PS4 is. But there was some news recently about the PS5 (Sony’s being all coy about their next hardware’s name, and they haven’t once used the term ‘PS5’, but really, what the heck else are you gonna call it, Sony?) and it will be at least backwards compatible with PS4 games, so I don’t have play them so fast if I don’t want to :D (I say ‘at least’ because I’m still holding out hope that it will go all the way back and I’ll be able to play PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 games on this new machine).

Let’s go!

Video Game Round-Up! - February/March 2019

Welcome back to Video Game Round-Up! Guess what? I totally finished some games this month! Whee! But I also started some others. And there are plenty of games that I haven’t finished yet that I didn’t even touch this month, but you know what? That’s okay. Playing video games is supposed to be fun and not stressful, so I’m going to stop stressing about not finishing every game I start, and just have fun playing my games.

Okay, let’s do this!

Video Game Round-Up! - January/February 2019

Welcome back to Video Game Round-Up! This month features the least amount of games I have played since I started writing this column. This is mostly because I am reading a lot more, and playing longer games instead of shorter ones.

But let’s get on with it!

Video Game Round-Up! Special! - 2019 Video Games I’m Most Excited About

Welcome to my second Video Game Round-Up! Special! The previous one looked to the past, to my top ten games of 2018, but this one looks forward, toward the games I’m most excited about in 2019. These will be in release date order, though not all of them have hard release dates. I will start with the games that everyone’s pretty sure will be released this year, and then end with a few that are unlikely to be released this year, but I really hope will be. Let’s get started!

Video Game Round-Up! Special! - Best Video Games of 2018

Welcome to the first Video Game Round-Up! Special! I got to play a lot of games this year that actually came out this year, which is not a thing that usually happens to me as I’m often playing games from years before (which I also did this year, as I played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch) and Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4), the two best games of 2017). And a lot of those games I played were really good, so my list won’t be a laughable one :D

Video Game Round-Up! - December 2018/January 2019

Welcome back to Video Game Round-Up! I am not late this month! Yay! I thought I had mostly played games I had played before, but after a quick count, that turned out to not be true. I played a lot more Switch games this month because we went on holiday for almost two weeks, which meant more short games, or games that can be played in small snatches of time. I also read a lot of comics at the end of the year, which meant less video game playing in general. Still, I played a decent amount. Here we go!

Video Game Round-Up! - October/November/December 2018

Welcome to the new and super fat Video Game Round-Up! Or more accurately titled, Redemption Cannot Be Earned: A Red Dead Redemption 2 Essay. Just kidding, I will talk about other games before we get into the weeds with RDR2 (especially since this is going to be a two-months-in-one situation because I took so dang long to write this stupid essay, though I lay most of the blame at Facebook Mobile’s feet because it doesn’t allow access to Notes for some reason), but really, there’s going to be a lot about RDR2 here. So much, in fact, that there will be some story and gameplay spoilers, so if you are still playing, or plan to play it in the near future, don’t read the essay. There will be a warning after the non-RDR2 game write-ups letting you know you should go hang out in other, non-RDR2 places on the Internets. Okay, here we go!
