      Have a Nice Death: The history and legacy of the Grim Reaper

      Have a Nice Death utilizes the most recognizable version of Death A skeletal figure, often cloaked in a dark, hooded robe, carries a scythe for “reaping” human souls.

      Custom video game levels: an ode to player creativity

      I’m a sucker for custom video game content. Give me a game that lets you create stuff and I’m all for it — especially levels and worlds. As a storyteller, I always have the desire to create worlds that feel complex yet approachable, deep yet understandable. With custom video game levels, I can define my own take on the gameplay that a developer has crafted. The idea of making your own video game levels is…

      Live to shred: how Jet Set Radio influenced a gaming subculture

      Back in the 1990s, SEGA epitomized the cool side of gaming. Whereas Nintendo felt safer and more approachable, SEGA and Sony focused more on the hardcore crowd with games targeted at older kids and teenagers. Franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog made it clear that SEGA had the in-your-face attitude that felt so prevalent before the turn of the millennium. And for many, no franchise hit that note harder than Jet Set Radio. At a time…

      Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty helped me understand my limits

      I’m gonna lay my cards out on the table right now. I am not able to beat Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. This was always a possibility, I suppose. I’m far from the most skilled video game player out there, and Souls-like games have never appealed to me personally. I figured the game would be difficult, yet for the first few hours, I felt like the challenge was appropriate. Then I came to a wall. I…

      Four fantastic rhythm games you need to play

      Here’s an oddball corner of the game-o-verse for you: rhythm games. Just bringing up the very concept will inspire deep division amongst gamers. Much like a certain vegetable preserve, you either love them or hate them. I face torn reactions when I mention my love for the genre, ranging from exalted agreement to utter derision. “You absolute casual,” they cry. “Is that like Guitar Hero?” query the rest. In short, there doesn’t seem to be…

      Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania arrives today!

A game they described as “something hardcore, ultra-niche, with pixel art and ridiculous difficulty.” They knew this was a risk, but the result was crowd-pleasing and successful indie darling Dead Cells. After a couple of packs of DLC, Motion Twin shocked fans of the…
