    Jeff’s been playing Elden Ring. We’re a little worried about Jeff. He’s got colourful gaming thoughts as he gets to the end of his journey. Hey everyone, we have a new From Software game on our hands! And of course with that, always arrives with so much delightful baggage within the gaming community, not to…

    Hey, Remember When? is  recurring column at The Feedback Society, where Jeff Thiessen takes a look back at some truly baffling decisions found in videogames.  Hey, remember when Capcom inexplicably decided to make the ‘hard’ difficulty found in the Japanese version Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening the ‘normal/default’ one in the copies available here…

    Jeff reviews Resident Evil Village and takes a stroll down memory lane thinking about games he’s set down the controller on before he’s finished them. I don’t really quit games very often, at least not as often as I likely should. I’ve gotten better recently, just out of sheer necessity when I’m reminded of my…

    In advance of the release of the new Mass Effect remaster later this week, Blake Morrow plays through the original versions to get himself primed. Growing up completely enthralled by the Star Wars universe, I’ve always had a deep love for science-fiction fantasy and the high concept ideas it can come with. When BioWare, the…

    We look at DayZ, the disaster that found a place in gaming writer Jamie’s heart. It was a mess, but a fun one at time. With its October 15th retail release coming and going to little fanfare, DayZ — it’s safe to say — has well and truly faded into irrelevance. Allow me to shed…

    There is enjoyment to be had with Dragon Quest Builders 2, it’s just spread a little too thin and interrupted by the occasional rotten patch. There’s nothing quite like a good blanket; warm, cozy, and fresh smelling (usually). That doesn’t mean I want to spend all day underneath one. Experience tells me that things get…

    Square-Enix reaches back in time to ruin Brando’s childhood with a remake of Secret of Mana that does nothing to grow its fun gaming legacy. Hollywood is full of remakes. Typically, that is as awful as the new technology that permeates movies these days, and it often sucks the soul out of the original, leaving…

    In the wake of the release of the mini Classic NES Console, Brando wonders, why not do the same thing for the classic Super Nintendo? Every year, there is that one item that makes its way onto every kid’s Christmas list, and they become very difficult to find. This year, I think it’s some kind…

    Brando looks ahead to the remake of Final Fantasy 7. But are they ruining what could be a gamer’s dream with their money grabbing schtick? In the Fall of 2015, the fondest wish of gamers all over the world was finally granted as the console RPG giant called Square-Enix announced the remake of one of…
