Games
About
I mention a lot of games on this site, enough that I decided to break them out from generic tags to their own category. And that's where you are right now. A few notes:
- Tldr bio: been gaming since NES, don't have time to play everything, am not all that good but I did get all 120 stars.
- I have a ton of screenshots. I always gag when I hear, "I like photography so I like photo mode in games" but, well, I really do. I also like grabbing illustrative screencaps to write about games and hijinks to show my squadmates later on.
- I'm not much of a video/streaming guy, but I have a few PUBG shorts and illustrative videos. My top yt hit is a Barotrauma sub design instructional.
- I don't rate games, there are plenty of resources for that from more authoritative personalities. I do discuss games critically so there might be some useful information if you're considering if a title is right for you.
- Perhaps the most useful feature here: each game's page lists all other games based on similarity. It's subjective, of course, but a good place to start if you're looking for a variation on a game you like. I talk about it in this post.

The games
So here's the
list of every game mentioned on this site by release year (sorry, I don't get more granular than that). I helpfully provide the Metacritic score and a mention of how much content there is on this site. Click through for a list of posts with mentions of that game.
