Scott Tenorman is an unhappy redhead. If you are not familiar with the lore of South Park, Eric Cartman once had a young man’s parents killed, turned them into chili, and then fed them to that same young man - after a relatively harmless altercation between the two. The young man was Scott Tenorman, a ginger who was later revealed to be Eric Cartman’s half-brother. Now Scott Tenorman has stolen the Xbox 360 hard drive from our favorite South Park residents, and they must travel through time and sewers to get it back....

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim was released last Friday to much fanfare and outstanding press, including Game Rant’s review. Featuring beautiful landscapes, outstanding gameplay, and a story that keeps players coming back (not to mention the endless quests), Skyrim is a game that no RPG fan should be without. As is so often the case with games of this scope, bugs and glitches have reared their ugly heads now that gamers have had a chance to dive into the finer aspects of the experience....

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a glitchy, unpolished, and occasionally frustrating mess. It’s also one of the best - if not the best - role-playing games of all time. Let’s talk about stories. Specifically, let’s talk about video game stories. Anyone who’s taken a basic creative writing course is familiar with traditional story structure: the introduction, the inciting incident, the rising action, a climax, and a denouement. With regard to folklore, it’s called the Hero’s Journey; in film, they call it the three-act structure....

Following quite a long wait that, at times, seemed neverending, Borderlands 3 was finally released in 2019. Gearbox Software’s looter shooter amassed mostly positive reviews, with the shooting mechanics, environments, and loot system garnering most of the praise. While arguably a step down from Borderlands 2, 2019’s sequel still comfortably ranks among the best action RPGs of the current console generation. Borderlands has always been a rather unique series. The franchise’s art style, humor, infinite procedurally generated guns, RPG mechanics, and semi-open world mesh together to craft a truly singular beast....

Being stuck inside for most of 2020, it was hard for much of society to go out and play games with friends. Video games came in handy for people who were apart, but there was still the reality that people couldn’t gather to play games in the same room. This meant a decline in playing tabletop games. That said, 2020 still had plenty of solid tabletop games come out that gave people who lived under the same roof an activity they could do while they passed the time in quarantine....

Xbox released its batch of next-generation gaming consoles to the masses this year with the Xbox Series X and the Series S. Each console holds it’s own impressive title for the Xbox family.

Long before consoles like the Nintendo Switch allowed people to resume their quests at a moment’s notice in a waiting room or airport terminal, gamers were introduced to the concept of portable gaming through the Game Boy, Nintendo’s 8-bit handheld console, first released in 1989. Though many subsequent additions followed, including the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Pocket, kids of a certain generation have strong associations with that first unit and the memorable loading screen that appeared when the system was turned on....

Main character deaths are a common narrative device across all mediums. The hero will often sacrifice himself to save humanity or those they love.

Most of the time, these deaths are well intricated into the story and character development. Sometimes, though, the deaths can lead to controversy among gamers as they come out of nowhere or don’t live up to the built-up hype....

When it comes to their characters and franchises, Nintendo tends to be pretty selective about where they can appear. Most of the time, Nintendo’s games and characters only appear on Nintendo consoles. While other companies put their games on Nintendo’s consoles as well, gamers aren’t likely to see an Animal Crossing or Super Smash Bros. game on a PlayStation console. But, that hasn’t always been the case. There have definitely been times that Nintendo allowed some of their characters to make their way to other consoles, but most people immediately think of Nintendo consoles when they think of some of Nintendo’s most iconic characters....
