Contractor by trade and writer by hobby, my obnoxious criticisms have found a way to be featured across several gaming sites. Initially, that began by spreading various user reviews across enthusiast sites before making my first semi-official splash on N4G. Since then, I've been officially featured by name across VGChartz, Gaming Nexus, DarkStation, and TechRaptor.
With a N64 and a Nintendo Power subscription, I started gaming in the mid-90s and have had the privilege to play games across a plethora of platforms since then. Being so close to the advent of 3D gaming tends to color my genre preferences, but that doesn't keep me from revering older titans either. Aside from gaming, I also have a storied history with enthusiast games press as well, which has clearly had some effect on me today.
Although you'll typically see me writing reviews for indie games or anniversary retrospectives of tentpole titles, I'm also happy to explore other topics from time to time. My longer-term hopes include finding a way to make writing a full-time gig. For now, having the opportunity to share my thoughts is its own reward.

Even though this review envelopes a healthy share of criticisms, there's also something to be said about the fun buried deep beneath.

Finding a balance between hardcore, tactical combat and player accessibility is no easy task with first-person shooters, but New World Interactive found a way. It's not without modest gripes, such as some lackluster modes and enemy AI, which prevent Insurgency: Sandstorm from earning a pristine Medal of Honor, but its merits make it an easy shoe-in for a Silver Star.

You'd think a new title and expanded features would inspire more critiquing on the original core design as well; instead, I'm really just experiencing the new-gen version of Timothy vs. the Aliens. Through that lens, Timothy's Night is a one-trick pony with a nasty limp.

The Games-as-a-Service (GaaS) model didn't help Sea of Thieves when it just started, but there's no denying the tremendous sea legs three years later. With this free full-blown expansion, A Pirate's Life, new energy is coursing through its sinews in a way few other titles can match.

From its generic title to its abysmally unbalanced combat, TADVGames' freshmen effort exists as an unkempt hitchhiker in my memory. It's sad when Warrior Boy's most notable gem is that I managed to complete it.
