The credits are rolling on Lifeless Planet, a game with a title that marketing people probably hate, but you know, it’s accurate. It’s a game about a lifeless planet. And it’s a game as lifeless but unexpectedly captivating as that title suggests. So, shut up marketing people![su_button icon="icon: gamepad" background="#e52d27" size="10" animate delay="3" inline="yes" url="https://www.youtube.com/user/calebjross?sub_confirmation=1"] Subscribe on YouTube [/su_button]

Writing a book about Super Mario Bros 3 can only be a daunting task. I haven’t confirmed this assumption with the author of this book, Alyse Knorr, but if I had asked her and she said it wasn’t daunting, I wouldn’t have believed her. This is a game that's been played and poured over for decades. It’s often cited by gamers as the best video game ever, or at least their favorite of all time. This is a game that raised the bar for all 2D side-scrolling platformers to come. But beyond all that, writing a book about Super Mario Bros. 3 must surely be intimidating, knowing that so many books have already been written about the game, about the game’s creator, and about the company behind the game. So what is a writer to do?[su_button icon="icon: gamepad" background="#e52d27" size="10" animate delay="3" inline="yes" url="https://www.youtube.com/user/calebjross?sub_confirmation=1"] Subscribe on YouTube [/su_button]

I love Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. It’s a fantastic 3D action platformer, originally released in 2001 for the Sony Playstation 2. This video game holds up really, really well. Buuuut...why does it have to get so frustrating in the final level. The amazing platforming suddenly gets irresponsibly confusing at the final level.[su_button icon="icon: gamepad" background="#e52d27" size="10" animate delay="3" inline="yes" url="https://www.youtube.com/user/calebjross?sub_confirmation=1"] Subscribe on YouTube [/su_button]
The big selling point with this game--the thing you’ve probably heard about if you’ve heard anything--is that thousands of rats are animated simultaneously without any frame rate compromises. Sure, that's impressive from a technical perspective, but it's concerning from a future of the human race perspective. You people realize that 50 years ago we flew to the damn moon, right?!
