  • A Few More Codexes + Christmas

    Over the weekend I recorded two new episodes of my music podcast, Codex — that would be episode 68 and episode 69 — as I try to get a few more episodes in before the end of the year. Also, if you’re looking for some good Christmas music, I won’t be doing a new Christmas…

  • Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD

    I downloaded the Vita version of this recently as it was free for PS+ members (and I think it still is). I love the Oddworld games, but had never played this one because the Xbox is the only modern console I never owned. It’s certainly quite different from the platform puzzling you usually get in…

  • Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

    I started playing this earlier in the week – I recently grabbed it at the crazy sales price of $10 on the PSN Store – and boy am I loving it. I do still enjoy getting into a good JRPG every once in a while, and this feels like it’s going to scratch that itch…

  • Hearthstone

    I never thought I’d get into this damn beta, but lo and behold, early last week I received my beta key, and so was able to give it a try. I was really excited to play this, and have to say that they’ve done a really fantastic job of creating a card game for the…

  • Grid 2

    I played this for the first time this morning – it’s currently free if you’re a PlayStation Plus member – and man, was I ever having trouble driving, probably due to the fact that all my racing of late has been in Need for Speed Rivals, which is very arcade-y in the way it plays.…

  • Rymdkapsel

    Another one of those games I’d been meaning to play forever, and have now finally had the chance – thanks to the fact that the PlayStation Mobile version (so on Vita) is currently available for free. I’m not the biggest strategy head, but man, I sure had fun playing this. There’s something really comforting about…

  • BioShock Infinite

    This is another game I picked up last weekend on sale from the PSN Store – for something like $15. I’ve of course been wanting to play this all year, and glad that I’m finally getting around to it. From what I’ve played so far (a few hours), I’m absolutely loving being in this world,…

  • Rayman Legends

    Picked this up for Vita last week because it was on sale on the PSN Store – and I think I may have access to the PS3 version as well. So damn good. If you like Rayman Origins, then it’s just more of that, but looking even better – believe it or not – and…
