What Ya Playing Wednesday??  It’s time for the ninth entry in the “What Ya playing” series.  This series is a check-in with both you, the reader and me, the writer. More information on how you can write into this series will be at the bottom of this article.  It’s now time to ask What Ya Playing  Wednesday?? Tales of Arise is the first game on this week's What Ya Playing.  I'm not very far yet maybe six hours or so but I'm enjoying my time so far.  I Like the story and  characters .  I love the comic-style cutscenes that provide more story and character moments. Through the game, you will hear a little sound effect that tells you a cutscene is ready. You don't have to play each and every cutscene and you could even miss all of them. If you miss one or want to watch one again you can do so at a campfire. You will find these campfires every now and then on your journey.  I like Aphen and Shionnes's push and pull. Aphen can't feel pain and anyon...

What Ya Playing Wednesday??  It’s time for the eighth entry in the “What Ya playing” series.  This series is a check-in with both you, the reader and me, the writer. More information on how you can write into this series will be at the bottom of this article.  It’s now time to ask What Ya Playing  Wednesday?? Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer  is the first game on this week's What Ya Playing. I've been playing solo and I'm about five hours in so far. I have been weirdly not enjoying the multiplayer much so far. I love both the small and tight corridor maps and the big and expansive maps. I also love the vehicles, driving a warthog over enemies and smashing them will always feel satisfying. The shooting feels good with both regular weapons like the MA40 Assault Rifle and power weapons like the Gravity Hammer. Even with all this, I can't seem to truly enjoy the multiplayer so far. I haven't tried the ranked mode yet, something I think I will enjoy much more than Quickpl...

What Ya Playing Wednesday??  It’s time for the seventh entry in the “What Ya playing” series.  This series is a check-in with both you the reader and me the writer. More information on how you can write into this series will be at the bottom of this article.  It’s now time to ask What Ya Playing  Wednesday?? Death's Door is the first game on this week's What Ya Playing. I just finished Death's Door and I loved it. The combat felt great with each of the five weapons other than the Umbrella which does less damage than the weapon you get when you start the game. I liked all of the characters and story, things I only like about a few indie games. If you like hack and slash-type games and/or tough games then I recommend Death's Door highly. I plan to write a review for Deaths Door with more in-depth thoughts so look forward to it. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is the second game on this week's What Ya Playing. I recently finished Guardians of the Galaxy and I re...

More information on how you can write into this series will be at the bottom of this article.  It’s now time to ask What Ya Playing  Wednesday?? The Legend of Zelda and the Ocarina of Time. I'm about to enter Hyrule castle for the first time, so I'm not very far yet. I started this game simply because I was looking for a game to play with my N64 Switch controller and I'm enjoying it so far. It doesn't quite hold up as much as I was expecting but I'm starting to get used to it. I've never finished this game before however, I think I'm going to this time.  I'll have more to say about the game as I play and get farther in the game.  If you're looking for a great Zelda game and bought the expensive Switch Online Expansion pack I recommend you give it a try.
