1 Hour Review: Dragon Age Origins
(TL;DR is at the bottom of the review) During a Humble Bundle sale, I had received several games for Origin, which is EA’s attempt at trying to create Steam, but not exactly having the backing to do so (still decent, just not as polished as Steam is). Several of the games were sequels to games that I have not played the first one yet (Dead Space, Mass Effect), but there was one set of games that came with both the first game, and the second one was well, and that was the Dragon Age series. So I decided with the fact that it was the only game that came with game one and two, that it would be the one that I would start with. This is my One Hour Review. Recaps of my notes, so total time and status in the game will be recapped every so often with an italic font.

I've always been drawn to dark stories. Perhaps that is why, when I came across a game instructing me to lose my mind and eat my crew, I had to add it to my steam library.

When Fortnite was first announced back in 2011, I was a very excited and happy chappie. I fell in love with the idea of building bases and fortifying them before defending them against hordes of zombies. What wasn't to like? If done correctly, there was no possible way for this to fail. So, expectations high, I waited with gleeful anticipation but as time went on, we heard less and less about Fortnite. The updates became less frequent while the setbacks piled up, all the while my enthusiasm was waning. Eventually, things went silent and to this day I'm not sure whether it was because development went cold or I'd just lost interest. Either way, the result was the same: I'd moved on.

About a year ago, I had gotten a Humble Bundle which included a game that I was somewhat curious about, especially because the bundle that I had gotten it from was called ‘Aaargh!’ I’m sure that we’ve all been at that point where we’ve experienced games that are so frustrating that this sentiment, along with several very impolite things, would spill from our mouths. This game was called “Cook, Serve, Delicious!”

Video games created with storylines, unfortunately, come to an end point once completing the game, but what is it that makes these games so difficult and entertaining? Beating the evil enemies, or "bosses" if you will create disruption in your path to beating the game. As games go on, your enemies get larger, stronger, and scarier. Whether they are giant monsters, disease-ridden creatures, or some disgusting mutant that was once a person just like us, you do not want to cross their paths. Well too bad because these games are designed for you to come across these enemies at any given time. Let's take a look at the scariest video game enemies.

I will be looking at the games that sapped hundreds of hours out of my childhood with each and every hour feeling like an adventure into another world!
Surprisingly Good, Cheap Mechanical Keyboards.
Have you ever been over to a fellow gamer's house, maybe in your early introduction to the world of quality hardware, and marvelled at the technology he (or she) had? Maybe you were entranced by the RGB-everything, or the curved 21:9 monitor, or the insane level of silence his water-cooling system could achieve. Or, what about his keyboard? Did you think of that? Ya know, the one with the fancy Cherry MX Blues in it that went all "clickety-clackety? Yeah. That one. Besides its silky smooth response and its satisfying sound, what was so special about it? Probably the fact that it was about $200.

What Hacking Space Invaders Frenzy Can Teach Us About Work and Play
Whether you are a gamer or not, if you’ve ever been to an arcade or pizza joint you’ve likely played the 1978 arcade classic Space Invaders created by Taito (pew pew pew—that’s laser sounds). Space Invaders Frenzy by Raw Thrills is an updated version of the arcade classic and it is a blast.
Valerie VacantePublished 7 years ago in GamersA Brief History of 'Armored Core'
Armored Core! Armored Core. Armored Core… You’re so awesome. Then sometimes you’re so what the flying frick it’s ridiculous. And it literally makes me scream sometimes because you have such potential, and you’ve shown it, to be the genre-defining mecha video game. I mean, you might be. To me you certainly are. But you have Mech Assault, Chromehounds, Titanfall, Hawken, a slew of Gundam games, and more, and even though you try your best, sometimes you’re mentioned with those names as opposed to prefacing them so often by reviewers and players alike.

There's been a flicker of controversy around Stardew Valley, the Life Sim / RPG farming game by Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone. It concerns a guinea pig and his treatment. One of the NPCs has a pet guinea pig who is, apparently, being kept in substandard conditions for the animal's needs.
