If I were asked to pick a game of 2013, I would easily respond with Guild Wars 2. Sure it came out the year before but it is the game I probably spent the most time playing this past year. The first half of the year I was pretty exclusively playing Guild Wars 2. The…

Starbound: Banana Split
An eerie silver glow stabs through the cold darkness. You pull out your flashlight and try to find some relatively safe footing for an opportunity to reach the goal. Although your resourceful crewmate has constructed a flourishing greenhouse out of nothing but sickly green dirt, it has still been a week since your ship ran…
Katamari Forever: Kitsune Udon
Every so often I get an urge to jump in and play some Katamari. It is fun to just turn my brain off and roll a ball of doom around while collecting everything in its path. The last level I spent a bit playing to get inspiration for the site was the sumo level in…
Harvest Moon: Potato Pancakes
The Harvest Moon series is always one I can go back to and just spend several hours with. Something about developing a farm from start to finish is super enjoyable. In some ways this game is a silly fantasy life I would like to live in – have a farm of my own, making some…
Skyrim: Apple Pie
For the last week and a half I’ve gotten a strong urge to play Skyrim again. I booted up the game and decided I would start fresh and maybe this time around complete the main quest line. My new character is a strong orsimer woman that relies primarily on her heavy armor, shield, and mace….
Scribblenauts Unlimited: Tuna Sandwich
Imagine having a notebook that would create an object you wrote inside of it. Writing the words “delicious lasagna” would produce some instant delicious lasagna. That would be a pretty nifty device! With such power you could do anything! Maybe it will be okay to use it for a little bit of mischief every once…
Bubble Bobble: Fried Chicken
Hopping around. Spitting up bubbles. Trapping your enemies in suds. That last one was all too displeased to see his comrades fall to your sinister (yet adorable) tactics, but the rebellion is nothing you can’t handle. After the last enemy is vanquished, a bounty of apples, cakes, and delicious fried chicken lines the battlefield. You…
Tales of Vesperia: Lemon Gels
Halloween is coming up this week and I knew I wanted to recreate a candy from a game. After pondering about it for a bit, I knew I had to try and recreate the gels in the ‘Tales of’ series. These little gels are always the health and mana refill items that the characters use….
The World Ends With You: Muffin Set
Outta my face. You’re blocking my view. Shut up. Stop talking. I’m… “If I were taller, girls would think I was so hot…” What is … suddenly all this noise? I can hear voices in my head, but they are coming from everywhere. I found a pin in my hand, but I don’t remember where…
Ni no Kuni: Carrot Cake
Ni no Kuni is the game I have been playing very slowly but thoroughly enjoying each time I sit down and play it. I will admit I have not finished the game but I am about 75% of the way through. I just need to make that final push. The main reason I’ve probably not…
