I’ve been on a massive retro gaming kick since we moved into our new house. Modern games simply haven’t had as much appeal for me recently! I’m finding so much to love about older titles. And I keep being delighted that classic games I play for the first time (like Rocket Knight Adventures on the …
Is there a more approachable and whimsical series than Mario Kart? I’ve long found it’s an easy one to get non-gamers to jump into and try. With our recent move into the house we just bought my entire family has been playing a few MK games since they’re really the equivalent of gaming “comfort food”. …
As I grow older, I really appreciate games that emphasize quality over quantity. Being an adult with two kids, my free time is much more limited than it once was. So I’ll take an excellent game that can be finished in under 10 hours over a “just okay” 40+ hour game any day of the …

Words cannot express how irrationally excited I am about Metroid Dread and the fervor around it! I seriously never thought I’d see the day.

We just passed the summer equinox, which means it’s time to talk about games you play in the summer! Between being a teacher for 13 years and having summers off as a kid, I’ve done A LOT of summer gaming in my life. My birthday is also the first week of August, so growing up …
I think every gamer has their own list of retro games that need a sequel.
