The Importance of Dark Souls

Dark Souls III is the latest release in the “Souls” series that began in 2009 with Demon’s Souls for the PS3. In honor of the crazy amount of frustration that myself and others are willingly subjecting ourselves to this week, it seems like a good time to take a look back and examine what it…

Why “Ourcade Games” Matters: An Open Love Letter

I went on a tweet binge earlier. I had been thinking about Ourcade Games and how I felt like I wasn’t giving enough, or working hard enough to see the Ourcade blossom into what it should be. Being the person I am, I felt doubly lazy. I pray for the Ourcade each morning, but praying…

You Know What? F**k Konami.

All jokes aside, this game is…

Destiny: The Year One Primer. (Part 1 of 3)

Ah yes, it’s Destiny. The game everyone loves to hate. I have purposely avoided writing about it for months now, and as I type this post I still feel like it is a mistake. With that said, this is the Ourcade. Our games, our way right? So regardless of how the readers may feel about…
