Paying tribute to Leonard Nimoy with a look at his work in “Kingdom Hearts.”

Setting the stage for a new theory of “Dishonored” with a Throwback Thursday to my older work on the game.

In my analysis of the notorious “Dark Souls,” I argue that the game is frustrating and rewarding for exactly the same reason.

“Majora’s Mask 3D” is here. What’s next for “With a Terrible Fate”? Read on to find out.

In the last of my analyses of the original “Majora’s Mask,” I argue that Anju and Kafei are central to the game’s artistic value.

I play my own “Song of Time” by offering the first of my analyses of “Majora’s Mask,” which came years before “With a Terrible Fate.”

“With a Terrible Fate” takes on the Elegy of Emptiness, inspiration of the infamous “BEN drowned.”

The payoff of four months analyzing “Majora’s Mask,” and a look at what makes the storytelling of “Xenoblade” remarkable.

An account of how I changed from a pre-medical program to video game analysis.

The payoff for the Salesman’s last words, and the place they establish for the player in Termina and beyond, might be bigger than you expect.
