Honestly, we could get The Stanley Parable's narrator in everything going forward and gaming would be richer for it.


The real Riddler

If there aren't hundreds of trophies littered around Gotham, is it really the Riddler?

Sometimes, it's hard to recognize stardom when it stares you right in the face.


The continuing search for Johnny Cage

Ok, that'll do.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
