Doritos Crash Course

Psitanium Mine ·

2023/04/01

Finally back from our break and so we must discuss one of the greatest games of all-time: Doritos Crash Course. Get ready to crash, crunch, corn chip and crash again in this interactive dystopic game show. Dark, foreboding, probably a psychological horror, shaped like a triangle, covered in cheese dust, we look into the most intense piece of product integrated media I played in March.

Every Game I Played from 2022 Ranked Best to Worst

Psitanium Mine ·

2023/02/11

And so the time has come to rank all the games released in 2022 that I played and this is going to take awhile. There are 31 games on the list this year and that is even after some paring down from games I didn't play very much (listed in the episode), demos of upcoming games and some top releases I have not gotten to try yet. There is just so much to go through, so let's just get into it.

The 12 Months of Livestreams

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/12/24

Move over 12 Days of Christmas, Psitanium has 12 Months of Livestreams. Months are more than days. Most of the games played on stream were not made into Psitanium Mine episodes, so this is an opportunity to talk about all the games and whether it was good or not.

Ghost Song

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/12/10

The amount of Metroidvania titles of late have been a bit lacking, but the number of games inspired by Dark Souls have erupted. Ghost Song is one of the games that tries to take elements from both genres to make something new. But are they the best elements? How do the two types of games work together? Will my love of one genre outweight my frustration with the other? We dig deep into those questions in this Psitanium Mine.

This Land is My Land

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/11/26

As we get over our Thanksgiving turkey coma, it seems like a good time to look at This Land is My Land, a game where you play a native warrior fighting against westward expansion. If that seems like fun to you, well, hold your horses. Besides the problematic elements around the theme and development, which we will discuss, there are some technical issues and choices that seem odd. So, what does this game do right and wrong? Come to the frontier in this Psitanium Mine.

Well, that got old fast

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/11/12

Sometimes I try games that seem like they might be fun but end up being nothing I wish to continue playing. Many of them will wear out their welcome in under an hour. Here are a few examples of the games I played this year that went by so fast... because I stopped playing them.

Scary moments in regular games

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/10/29

While I don't play many scary games, I have come across scary moments in otherwise normal games. You can almost feel it in the way the tone shifts from one of feeling powerful to helpless. Sometimes it creeps up on you and sometimes it jumps up into your face and screams. We'll discuss a few of those from games I have played and beware some spoilers for: Halo, Control, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Bioshock Infinite, Portal and Half-Life 2.

The Fallout series

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/10/15

From it's early roots in 1990s CRPGs to the modern open-world incarnations, Fallout has been a staple of the video gaming industry for decades. On this episode of Psitanium Mine, we're going to look at the origins of Fallout from the time it diverged from Wasteland, the time that Interplay spent making CRPGs and other experimental projects, the Bethesda era, cancelled entries in the series and what to expect in the future. Also, what makes the series so iconic and influential?

Death Stranding

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/10/01

And so, we step into the degrading footwear of Norman Reedus in the game Hideo Kojima really wanted to make. Death Stranding is a game where you do a bunch of walking so you can deliver packages across a broken world. Watch out for rocks… very small rocks. A very surreal and unique experience, but is it fun?

Valheim

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/09/17

Sit down. Everything is going to be okay. We’re going to talk about an open-world survival game. The good news is that this is a widely acclaimed indie project based with a healthy dose of Norse mythology. You will fight gremlins. Trolls will throw boulders at you. You will get killed by a tree. Let me tell you about my experience playing Valheim.

Lords of the Fallen

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/09/03

Back in the camp of the souls-like genre, we go back time to 2014 and look at Lords of the Fallen. Is it as difficult as Dark Souls? Is it more accessible than Dark Souls? How annoying are the bosses? Well, let's go into that.

TitanQuest and Grim Dawn

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/08/20

Recently, we went through a retrospective of the Diablo series. Recent entries have been less than impressive, but the genre is much larger than that series. So, Psitanium has been playing some other examples of the hack-n-slash ARPG genre. Among them were the prominent examples of TitanQuest and Grim Dawn. Are they as good or better than Diablo? Which one stands above the other? Also, a few brief notes on Rum and Gun and Path of Exile.

Stardew Valley

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/08/06

It’s gardening time and that’s gotten Psitanium thinking about Stardew Valley, among his favorite games. So, on this episode, we discuss the farming game made by one person that turned the indie game market on it’s head and spawned countless imitators, many of which were also really good. So, quit Joja and start fixing up the community center, Pelican Town awaits.

The Diablo series

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/07/23

Well, Diablo Immortal came out to... reactions. Since we are trying to forget that and looking towards Diablo 4, Psitanium thought he would do a stupid thing and go over a brief history and critique of the Diablo series, past, present and future. Which ones were the best? Did Diablo show up at any point is this more of a Waiting for Godot situation?

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/07/09

Now that we know there will be a remake of the Knights of the Old Republic, it seems like a good time to look back at the original. As one of the greatest RPGs of all time and one of Psitanium's Top 10, let's go over what the game did and why it warrants a remake today.

Will Starfield Be Good?: The Existential Crisis of...

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/06/24

Bethesda has released new information about Starfield and we should probably go over it, because the picture of what this game is has become much clearer. But we should also talk about the general problem with space games and how Starfield hopes to fit in a space that has already been dominated by other games.

Fallout: New Vegas

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/06/18

Out of all the games I have played, Fallout New Vegas stands as one of the best RPGs. When I realized there has never been an episode of the show discussing the Fallout games, I decided to go back and talk at length about why New Vegas was such an excellent piece of video gaming. We will look at how the game starts off with a bang, the influences that made it possible, the way it builds player choices, the personal courier story versus the fight for the Mojave, the DLC and the legacy that it left

Rage 2

Psitanium Mine ·

2022/06/04

Well, since he just played Rage, we might as well talk about Rage 2. Because it is a very different experience in the way the world and gameplay function. And it's not even about being better or worse, just different. That's explain that in this Psitanium Mine.
