My thoughts on one of the flagship games of the Rockstar stable, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Come for the irreverence, stay for the 1990s history lesson, leave with colors and a gunshot wound.

My thoughts on Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone of PlayStation 2. For a licensed title, this hybrid beat 'em up/rpg works like it is supposed to, with star power behind it to boot.

On the way to what could have been beat 'em up Heaven we were instead taken through cut scene Hell. The Bouncer, we need to talk...

My thoughts on Red Dead Revolver on the PlayStation 2. Saddle up, cowpokes, 'cause Revolver explains why we needed Redemption not once, but twice!

My thoughts on the digital watercolor ink beauty that is Okami on PlayStation 2. Come for the white wolf, stay for the mythology and joke characters!

Spoiler warning, trigger warning, content warning, all the warnings. I discuss a game believed by many to be the greatest survival horror game of all time and why I completely disagree with that thought. Also, you will learn a little too much about me.

Silent Hill 2, we need to talk...

My thoughts on Silent Hill on the PlayStation 1. Monster as metaphor is the enemy of the day in Small Town U.S.A. as our "everyman" soon discovers, and the landscape of games changed forever.

My thoughts on Dino Crisis for the PlayStation 1. Survival horror featuring special forces versus dinosaurs. Man, it's just like that movie!

My thoughts on Tenchu: Stealth Assassins on the PlayStation 1. The real king of stealth action console games, unlike some other Snake-centric games I could mention...

My thoughts on Star Ocean: The Second Story on the PlayStation 1. You, too, can experience Star Trek through the JRPG lens!
