Borderlands at 17: A Million Guns, a Day Off Work, and One Very Annoying Robot

Borderlands at 17: A Million Guns, a Day Off Work, and One Very Annoying Robot

Seventeen years ago, Gearbox introduced us to a planet full of murderous psychopaths, terrifying monsters, more guns than anyone could possibly need, and one of the most annoying robots in video game history. And I couldn’t wait to get there. On 20 October 2009, Borderlands arrived in North America for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with the PC version following on 26 October. Developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games,… Read more

Fallout: New Vegas — Sixteen Years Later, I’m Still Wandering the Mojave

Fallout: New Vegas — Sixteen Years Later, I’m Still Wandering the Mojave

Fallout: New Vegas — Sixteen Years Later, I’m Still Wandering the Mojave Getting shot in the head and buried in the desert was merely character creation. On 19 October 2010, Fallout: New Vegas arrived in North America for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, bringing another massive post-apocalyptic adventure to the Fallout universe. After Fallout 3, New Vegas was an automatic pre-order for me. There wasn’t much debate about it. I took… Read more

Remember When Saints Row Was Actually Good?

Remember When Saints Row Was Actually Good?

Saints Row started as a GTA clone. There, I said it. And I liked it anyway. When Saints Row 2 arrived in North America on 14 October 2008 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Volition wasn't exactly trying to hide where the inspiration came from. The original game had borrowed generously from Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto franchise, and the sequel wasn't about to abandon that formula. But here's the thing: Saints Row… Read more

Brütal Legend (2009): When Double Fine Was Metal as Hell

Brütal Legend (2009): When Double Fine Was Metal as Hell

Remember the days of yore, when Double Fine made great games instead of blowing budgets on their latest vanity projects? When Jack Black was more interested in entertaining us than lecturing us? These days, Black and Double Fine's Tim Schafer look like twin gray-bearded hobos arguing over which one smells worse. But the 2000s were simpler times. Back when somebody could pitch a video game that looked like an Iron Maiden album… Read more

Fallout 3 [PS5] Review and Longplay [2008]

Fallout 3 [PS5] Review and Longplay [2008]

I had troubles encoding the video a few times so I ended up lowering the overall size by speeding up certain parts of the game. I'll add time stamps eventually to break down certain portions of the game. The 1st half we played through a few sidequests, and the 2nd half was just the primary mission. this is probably one of my top 10 favorite games of all time. is it considered… Read more

Skylanders Trap Team [PS3] Review and Longplay [2014]

Skylanders Trap Team [PS3] Review and Longplay [2014]

Hello Fellow Retro Gaming Fans, Ryan McQuinn Here! The fourth installment in the series, and my son Andy's favorite one, Skylanders Trap Team showed just how creative you can be with the toys to life concept (Aside from Imaginators, but that'll be a later video.) This one actually allowed you to not only capture every boss in the game, you could then play as them! The story goes that the Doomraiders broke… Read more
