Two years ago, heading into Captain America: Civil War, I sat down and made a list ranking my favorite Marvel movies up to that point. Here we are, on the eve of The Avengers: Infinity War and I’ve been busy for the past 2 months doing my homework: rewatching the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe catalog. … Continue reading
Unless you’ve not been paying attention to the gaming world over the past few years, you’ve no doubt heard all of the controversy surrounding Konami and the Metal Gear franchise. As a longtime fan, it was a massive bummer to see how the franchise was handled and to hear the various reports about the poor … Continue reading
Bungie has been trying, I have to give them that. However, I am reminded of the phrase “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” At the end of November, Bungie laid out plans on how they were moving forward with the sandbox of Destiny 2. The changes to activities, rewards and systems all sounded … Continue reading
After much deliberation, arguing and debating, Pixel Related has come to our five best games of 2017. As in past years, we put no particular order on the runner-up winners, just naming the sole winner of Game of the Year. If you want to check out our full discussion and how we came to this … Continue reading
This last year was the mystical year of too many games. Narrowing the list down to just 10 games was always going to be impossible. So, I’ve divided my top ten into games that I need to play more of but what I’ve played is good, honorable mentions, and an Official Top Ten. These are … Continue reading
2017, if taken explicitly from a video game perspective, has been a fantastic year. So many games on my list are complete surprises to me. Some of this comes from Nintendo releasing the Switch, a fantastic console that has already delivered some of the best Nintendo games of all time. Couple that with the usual … Continue reading
So probably the biggest movie of the year, Captain America Civil War, is now officially out. I haven’t seen the movie yet but many critics are calling it the best super hero movie ever made. While this is being billed as a Captain America movie, with the huge lineup of characters it feels much closer … Continue reading
Enough? By What Standard? Part 1 examined Evolve’s DLC but left an open question: Is the content of the base game worth the $60 price tag? Unfortunately, that’s a subjective question and there is no right answer for everyone. I don’t believe you can quantify value in terms of some objective measure, like the number … Continue reading
Too Much DLC on My Hands Much like the monsters in the quote above, angry gamers have feasted on a flailing marketing strategy for Evolve, Turtle Rock (developer) and 2K’s (publisher) 4v1 monster hunting game. The game has drawn criticism from gamers and game journalists, primarily because of the downloadable content (DLC) strategy that … Continue reading
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released on November 11, 2011, a week before my birthday. I purchased it at midnight from the local GameStop, took it home, played it for awhile, and then put it aside for a while. Because of what was going on at home I didn’t have much time to play … Continue reading
I am a huge fan of open world games and no other series does it better than Grand Theft Auto. Every game in the series has been great, with San Andreas holding a special place as what is likely my favorite game of all time. So it’s with a heavy heart that I admit, here … Continue reading
Coming out of E3 the entire conversation seems to be focused on the renewal of the great console war between Microsoft and Sony. Based off of the reactions and comments in social media you would think that Sony has already won the next generation and Microsoft should just pack up their stuff and not even … Continue reading
My third play through Bioshock Infinite is nearly complete and there are some moments in the game that have come to mean a lot to me. While more than five could be included, these five (with a little cheating) stand out. These events are not in order of impact but in the order in which … Continue reading
There’s one very special time of the year to me. It’s that one time where we get to watch movies in the dark, scream like little girls and generally just feel creeped out. Of course I’m talking about Halloween, the scariest time of the year. Being a bit of a self-proclaimed horror connoisseur, I’ve played … Continue reading
