New Old Game Review: Darkrise
I’m a sucker for side scrolling retro games. Hook, line, and pixelated sinker. So while I was burning 10 minutes the other day I went to ChatGPT and asked it what game I should play. My prompt included phrases like, “Recommend something that doesn’t suck” and “It’s ok if it’s an older game I just […]

2025 Games We’re Excited to Play
It’s here! 2025 is upon us and so are a bunch of games we can’t wait to play. You just (may have) read our dev update to start the year, and I want to balance out the nerdy-coder speak with some actual games that us at LFGdating can’t wait to play. Ghost of Yotei Expected […]

Battle for Azeroth First Impressions
World of Warcraft’s newest expansion: Battle for Azeroth, is a breath of fresh gaming air. The last expansion, Legion, was fun albeit visually repetitive at the end. Seriously – can we get some blue sky for the Love of Elune? Argus doubled down on the scorched-earth-and-black-sky motif that ran roughshod over the rest of the graphics. We’re now […]

Classic WoW and the Art of Exploration
Vanilla World of Warcraft (or Classic to be know from here-forth), still brings back sweet memories and haunting boss drops. Whether played for fun or as a lifestyle, the first iteration of WoW changed the culture of online gaming forever. I remember stopping at Best Buy off of Route 43 somewhere between Lake Geneva and […]

Stranger Things: The Game is Fantasmagistical
Stranger Things: The Game is quite possibly the best way to start your weekend morning. Here I am, sitting on the couch next to my mother-in-law, killing time before my wife comes home from her workout. Coffee in hand and pup laying next to me, I open Reddit. Bam – front page post on Stranger […]

Massive Affection for Mass Effect: Andromeda
My love affair with the Mass Effect series goes back 7 years to when Mass Effect 2 released. I vividly remember sitting on my couch in my downtown studio apartment, feet on the coffee table, watching the loading screens come and go. I didn’t go in with any preconceived notions. I was hoping it would be […]

26 Things That Will Happen Before Half-Life 3 Finally Gets Made
Back in late 2004 I was into my senior year of college, and reviews of the newly released sequel to the critically acclaimed Half-Life were off the charts as expected. After countless all-nighters studying tearing through HL2’s amazing scenery with easily one of the coolest video game weapons ever created – the gravity gun – […]

World of Warcraft’s Legion is Becoming the Expansion We Deserve
You got me. I thought it would take longer, if it would happen at all. It’s been awhile since I looked forward to having a night of WoW. Don’t get me wrong, just because I didn’t love Warlords of Draenor, it doesn’t mean I thought the game was going in a bad direction. And if you’ve […]

Expectations for Legion – The Newest World of Warcraft Expansion
Let’s face it. Warlords of Draenor was a move away from the center of World of Warcraft. While each expansion has its own flavor and spices, WoD definitely broke the palate for the casual WoW player, at least in my experience. And here’s why that wasn’t a bad thing. To begin, I’ve walked away from each of […]
