The Walls of Control

The walls of The Oldest House are a veritable pressure cooker, a place of almost unbearable unknowns — Remedy has accomplished something so many before have failed to do: craft a world that feels consistently inconsistent, a place governed by a set of rules far, far beyond our mortal comprehension. Rules we can feel but never truly know. That feeling — that sense you can nearly almost define…

Video Games Have Become the Soundtracks to Our Lives

Digital experiences can leave indelible marks on the story of the self — Video games propose a thousand ways to be. We live, we breathe, we dream the experiences they gift to us — either across an eight-hour campaign as the titular hero or through months as an alter ego in massively-multiplayer world. Become what you want, when you want. Become a beefed-up…

The Original Video Game Sandbox

Reflections on a time when play experiences were uninterrupted by ubiquitous, invasive connectivity — Video games used to be a meditative experience. It was just you and the box, with controller and cord as the connective tissue. Those thoughts — those pesky mental constructs — vanished to the experience in the moment. It’s why there’s a soothing silence to consoles of yore. It’s you…

With Halo Infinite, Smart Has Become the New Spectacular

Doing Halo better than ever before — Let’s get to it, then: Halo Infinite’s fledgling multiplayer is properly brilliant. It’s all the bang-bang, pew-pew, pop-pop action you’d expect from the daddy of the modern console shooter — one about armoured punks fighting in an arbitrary life-and-death contest with really big guns on some intergalactic real estate.

The Bold and the Braveus: A Look Back at Final Fantasy’s Teenage Years

The famous franchise had its share of growing pains — We used to be the parents. We were their guardian angels, the commander of our own private army of ensemble characters with wild hair and crazy costumes who burped giant boxes of text from their mouths as they talked about giant monsters and time-travelling wizards.

When Mass Effect Neutered the Reapers, and We Didn’t Care

Why world-building and narrative supersede inconsistency in the message — In Mass Effect, the Reapers are absolute killing machines. Waaaaaaah, they cry, telling you just how killy they really are — and presumably that they’re going to be killy at you, too. …
