Speaking of the year-end, I had a surprisingly peaceful long vacation this time, since we didn’t go on any road trip. In the first half of the break, I dusted off my Steam Deck and finally dug into a game that had been waiting in my library for a

Let me just say it straight. "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" is the best game I’ve played since "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild." When the game was first announced, it caught attention not just for its visuals, but because of Sandfall Interactive—its

Finally, I think it's time to admit that Xbox has likely lost this console war. While I’ve enjoyed a few games on my Series X, like It Takes Two, it’s now clear that PlayStation has come out as the winner. However, for me personally, it wasn’

Yesterday, I finally saw the ending of Chained Echoes. It took just over 50 hours of playtime; I think it is just fine for a $25 video game. Chained Echoes is a 2D JRPG developed by a solo indie developer Matthias Linda. It reminded me the days when I first

Many things already happened in 2023: the humiliating Kevin McCarthy, Damar Hamlin's tragedy (and recovery), the great Brock Purdy (and 49ers' No.2 seed), and so on. But the main reason I couldn't put something for days was Steam Deck. Specifically, I'm obsessed

In the aftermath of the Twitter frenzy, I learned that there had been a debate about a New York Times article. Interestingly, it was an article about a game, maybe the hottest game these days: Elden Ring [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elden_Ring]. It seemed that several Tweets (of

Finally, my living room was completed with Xbox Series X. You might not know, but it was super hard to buy since it was released on 12/12/2019. I performed supersonic mouse clicking at the launch date but only found every effort in vain. While Series S is now

I knew him personally (we have been in the same college and major); we usually called him JJ, but the last time I met him in person was more than 20 years ago -

I suddenly came not to play PC/console games around 2007. Partly because I quit a gaming studio and started my Ph.D. courses, but mainly because around 2010, I thought the PC/console gaming was too saturated, nothing interest and mobile would prevail. Yes, it was true: mobile games

Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard in a $68.7B deal [https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/microsoft-buying-activision-blizzard-in-68-7b-deal] . It shouldn't be only me who was thrilled by the news of this morning. Two words for me: Blizzard and 68.7B. The anticipation that the once greatest but strayed studio might return
