Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Ah yes, that long awaited sense of adventure mixed with witty quips, epic gun battles, stomach churning climbing, and beautiful scenery. If any of this sounds familiar then you're privy to the epic gameplay that developer Naughty Dog has to offer in their infamous Uncharted series. This latest installment, The Lost Legacy, ditches the Drake brothers and their lovable (and seemingly ageless) sidekick Sully and replaces them with Chloe Frazier. Fans of the second Uncharted game, Among Thieves, will recognize her all too well. Added to the mix is another familiar character in Nadine Ross, who made her debut in the 2016 Uncharted game A Thief's End as head of the mercenary group, Shoreline. Much to the chagrin of diehard fans, we will not see Nathan Drake in this game. Naughty Dog has been explicit in their decision to leave the Drake storyline where it is, but hey, a boy can dream eh? After all, no one thought The Last of Us would get another installment, right? There is always room for hope!

Ten Creepiest Creatures from the 'Metroid' Series
Metroidis one of the longest running Nintendo game franchises not named Mario or Zelda, being a groundbreaking video game series by starring a female character, Samus Aran, as well as gaining critical acclaim for its gameplay and strong science fiction setting. Anyone who has ever played any installment in the series can vouch for the inspiration it has taken from the Alien franchise, up to and including the horror elements in its designs. Most of the creatures Samus fought over the years can look unnerving, but a select few can be called truly horrific. WithSamus Returns, the remake of Metroid 2: The Return of Samus, coming for the Nintendo 3DS and a new Metroid Prime installment coming to the Nintendo Switch in the future, let's look back at ten of the most frightening enemies that the bounty hunter Samus Aran has ever faced over her long career.

Top Ten PlayStation 1 Games (My Top Ten)
The PlayStation 1 or PlayStation or PS... or PS1 as everyone says. This console brings me back to some good old memories of using plug-in controllers and Memory Cards. The console was released on December 3rd, 1994 in Japan, September 9th, 1995 in North America, September 29th, 1995 in Europe, and lastly on November 15th, 1995, it was released in Australia. This console brings a lot of memories and great games that were played, so this is my top ten best PS1 games that I think were amazing to play when I was a kid.

Petscop Analysis
I heard about Petscop from a Game Theory video. The subtitle for the video was, "The Scariest Game You'll Never Play." And I thought instantly, that's bullshit, click-bait. I've deleted tons of crappy emails or scrolled while rolling my eyes past tons of comments of what they call "creepy pasta," that is, cut-and-pasted, internet-circulated horror stories, often having to do with urban legends about haunted video games.

'Princess Maker 2' and 'Long Live The Queen'
Trailer for Long Live The Queen by Hanako Games Long Live The Queen and Princess Maker 2 are two of my favourite games available on Steam. Both games are often compared to each other for similar gameplay elements, but they are both fantastic games in their own right. Even though the games are similar, I have seen people who have played one, but not the other assume that they're both exactly the same.

Dark Souls: The Ultimate Adventure Game
Dark Souls.... One of the greatest games ever to exist, in my humble opinion. Even with its treacherous difficulty, the game has become a cult classic for gamers all across the planet. With such difficulty, why would someone play a game that is overly challenging? Is the game actually THAT challenging? Is it really as much of a classic as people would have you believe? Let's take a deeper look.

Responding to "Gamer Shaming". Top Story - August 2017.
Well, it's been a few years, so "Gamer Gate" has kind of blown over by now. But that's precisely why I feel a pressing need to talk about it. Because, in the thick of it, it was hard to even say "Gamer Gate" without getting tongue-lashed or even censored. Now, hopefully, since "time heals all wounds" we can sit down like reasonable adults and have a reasonable discussion about it. It's worth discussing. We shouldn't try to pretend it didn't happen just because it was ugly and tantrum-y. Both sides raised important arguments and made interesting statements about what they think the "gamer" identity is and should be. These days, to move forward as gamers, we should address the concerns of the critics of the video gaming community. I think we should do this with rational arguments, which were lost to the firebombs of virulent hostility on both sides I witnessed a few years ago.

Awesome Saturn Exclusives: RPGs
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings , where I find the positives in maligned pop culture. I didn't get a chance to play the Sega Saturn growing up. By the time I was old enough to buy my own games, the Saturn was already being phased out. It's botched early launch, high price point that didn't lower until it was just about dead, and Bernie Stolar's poor handling of Sega killed it in only two years in America. I didn't get my first real exposure to the Saturn until I hooked up with my current squeeze (we've been together now for 11 years, thank you very much).
