Todd's columns have appeared in many publications such as GamePro, Electronic Gaming Monthly, PC Gamer, and Electronic Games. 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.
News that Crackdown 3 for the Xbox One, and the new Xbox X, would be delayed was met with disappointment from Todd. But, it’s not the end of the world, and with any luck, the Xbox X will still have some good launch titles.
Todd loves watching his fellow gamers’ shows on YouTube and Twitch, as well as working for GiN’s own social media channels. Today, he salutes those that deserve special mention. Raise a glass for the greatest gamers!
Todd’s love and hate relationship with Nintendo continues. With big hopes following E3, Nintendo has continued to disappoint many gamers with a lack of Switch stock, funky voice chat support, and a few other annoying but important issues. Come on, big N, show us some love.
It’s that time of year. Sitting at almost the exact halfway point for 2017, Todd takes a look at some of the biggest successes, and the most bitter disappointments, in gaming so far. All of this is according to Todd, of course, but you might just agree with some of his surprising picks.
With the E3 Expo hangover finally abated, Todd gets a chance to take a breath and give his thoughts, and his grades, about what everybody at the conference was, and was not, showing this year.
Todd always gets a little crazy right before E3 Expo, but then again, most gamers probably do. Here is what Todd is hoping to learn and see at the conference this year. What is everyone else expecting?
Although plagued with lots of problems like stiff controls, Old Time Hockey is able to capture the outlaw feel of hockey from the 1970s. The old joke that a hockey game broke out at a boxing match is never lost on Old Time Hockey’s throwback ice.
The full specs for Microsoft’s Scorpio should come out during E3 Expo, but some game publishers are already planning on throttling back their titles on the new platform in the name of console parity. Should gamers be upset?
Although the latest version of Prey plays more like System Shock than a sequel to the 2006 game of the same name, on the whole, that’s not necessarily a bad thing for this creepy, frightening role-playing masterpiece.
The year isn’t even half over, but Todd is impressed with everything that 2017 has provided for gamers so far. And we are not just taking about quality, because there are good deals to be had too, if you know where to look.
