I did this on twitter and ended up getting long winded about it and realized hey wait this is the type of thing that'd work well on cohost. SO, a list of not my favorite 10 games, but 10 games that reflect me and my tastes, WITH DETAILS. An extended version of my twitter thread.

• ➕Akumajou Densetsu (ya know, Castlevania 3 but with the good soundtrack)
• ⚙️Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R
• 🪖Bionic Commando (NES)
• ⚔️King's Field 1 (US) (Or Shadow Tower, if you prefer)
• 🐟EVO: A Theory...

Dragon’s Dogma the type of narrow, niche fanbase that made me know I’d love it whenever I got around to playing it and even though I knew this would happen, I wasn’t ready for quite how much I’d love it.

Dragon’s Dogma is a weird game. It feels like someone played a game of telephone, describing the conventions and goals of the big western RPG genre to the designer of Devil May Cry, who then declared “I got it” and made a game. The reality isn’t quite as funny. Hideaki Itsuno had a lot of the...

I know I said I was going to post on every game I played, but that turned out to be too much work. Some games are worth talking about but don’t operate well as whole post. So lemme hit the four games I didn’t write about

First, Princess Zelda is so bullyable. Li...
