Todd is a founding member of GiN and speaks from an "old school" gamer's perspective. Embracing the notions of all classic gaming, game soundtracks, and the original "hardcore style," he also shuns the trends he feels are ruining the game industry, such as the embracement of 3D, the over-saturation of MMOs, and misleading game advertising.
With rumors of the next generation consoles on the horizon, Todd celebrates the games that made top marks on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Steam and the PC. Yes, there are still more titles yet to come, but these are his picks of the generation’s best games so far.
