Resident Evil 3

Kretzschmarmark/ May 25, 2020/ Uncategorized

Resident Evil 3 That feeling you have when the other reviewers were right. It was probably obvious in my review of the Resident Evil 2 Remake that I’ve always loved the Resident Evil series. While 4 is my favorite, 2 (or the remake in this case) is my second favorite. That leaves 3, which has always sort of been in

South Park The Fractured But Whole

Kretzschmarmark/ May 9, 2020/ Uncategorized

South Park The Fractured But Whole Spoiler Alert: Sparked joy is related to how much you like South Park. (I know. Shocking.) South Park is so culturally relevant that it is appropriate to say most people have a favorite memory. The show premiered when I was just starting seventh grade, so of course I found stuff like a talking piece

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter When the backlog becomes intimidating, make someone else play a game for you! Mark’s Note: This guest review is part of a potential series in which I commission games I own to friends who have played them because I probably will never get around to doing so.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

Kretzschmarmark/ May 2, 2020/ Uncategorized

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls It is okay to admit that I have too many games and that I can put them down if I’m not feeling them. I am back to playing new games in my library following my Suikoden V post. However, I cannot say that this latest game held my attention very long. I was late

Suikoden V

Kretzschmarmark/ April 20, 2020/ Uncategorized

Suikoden V A retrospective of the last true Suikoden game. What happens when the tedium of quarantine and nostalgia collide? If you’re like me, you fall back on one of your trap games. You know the kind of game I’m referring to. A game that you’ve played at least five times, yet you can’t help yourself and inevitably replay it

Ace Combat 7

Kretzschmarmark/ April 10, 2020/ Uncategorized

Ace Combat 7 Fly the Angry Skies! Covid-19 has impacted all aspects of our lives, including how we work, socialize, prioritize responsibilities, and even exercise (working out from home has taught me that my endurance was nowhere near as good as I believed, so that’s the one good thing I will take from this experience). However, since my last post,

Punch Club

Kretzschmarmark/ January 3, 2020/ Uncategorized

Punch Club It’s certainly a genre-melder, but some mechanics prevent it from being fun for long stretches. This year’s already off to a complicated start, isn’t it? I’ve always been skeptical about resolutions, but one of mine in 2020 is to make a dent in my game library. On top of everything else I must do this year, it’s a

PlayStation Classic

Kretzschmarmark/ December 26, 2019/ Uncategorized

PlayStation Classic Turns out devising a game library for one of the most iconic game consoles is quite difficult. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I thought I’d do something a little different and write about one of my new holiday toys: the PlayStation Classic. Fittingly, the original PlayStation was my primary present during Christmas 1997, so it’s fun to revisit

MLB The Show 2018

Kretzschmarmark/ December 19, 2019/ Uncategorized

MLB The Show 2018 It’s Going…Going…Gone from My Library! Well, that was one busy semester. Now that it’s finally in the books, I can finally start blogging about my collection again. I’m a pretty big sports fan, and I’ve played basically every sport genre out there (save for handball, but I’ve been curious about that game). My favorite sport is

Resident Evil 2 Remake

Kretzschmarmark/ October 30, 2019/ Uncategorized

Resident Evil 2 Remake The Three F’s: Fun, Frightening, and Frustrating! I was stashing the remake of Resident Evil 2 for a special occasion, so why not All Hallows’ Eve? There are a few series that just do it for me. Resident Evil is one of them. I didn’t get a PlayStation One until Christmas 1997, but the first installment
