Everyone has a story about how the year 2021 has treated them, with lots of ups and downs. For Skirmisher Neal Sayatovich this is especially true. He did some great things like reboot The GiN Lounge, but also suffered for months with COVID-19. And the whole time, he kept on gaming. Hopefully, all of you can too.
If you are like most of us, the holidays might mean a little extra time for gaming as the winter holidays roll around and those vacation days are just begging to be taken. Neal plans to relax with some old gaming favorites alongside some brand new titles. What about your plans?
Vincent spends some time with an old favorite, Castlevania. With classic games from that series wrapped up in new collections like the Castlevania Advance Collection, he’s almost getting carpal tunnel from swinging that whip.
Our Skirmisher columnist has been dumping countless hours into sports management games like Football Manager. But while not everyone loves the thrill of coaching and managing their team, with better AI and more offerings, it’s a genre that could really take off.
Vincent had a great time with Blaster Master Zero II last year, so it makes sense that he would dive into the new Blaster Master Zero 3 game from Inti Creates. Three takes everything up a notch for some master blasting fun.
Remember the good old days of couch co-op games with friends? Before networking meant never having to share your potato chips? Neal’s wife takes over the column this week, dragging him along for some old school co-op adventures. Not that he is complaining. Couch co-op rocks after all.
With Metroid Dread finally hitting the ground, Vincent goes deep into the back catalog of games to see how the series has evolved over the years, and makes some predictions about what we will find when we dive into the amazing world of Dread.
This week the Skirmisher decides to take this week to be a grouchy old man and complain about not being able to complete games and, half the time, forgetting what he was even doing. That’s what happens when the top RPGs are offering over 200 hours of content or more. It’s a good thing, unless you have to step away for a bit. Now where was that sword?
