Posted on March 24th, 2020 by
Video games about sports come in two varieties, arcade titles focused on giving a fast-playing game giving just a taste of the sport, and simulations trying to preserve as much authenticity as possible. AO Tennis 2 is one of the latter. Focusing on the Australian Open (thus the AO in the name) rather than some of the It offers up everything one would expect of the genre, tutorials, plenty of character customizations, deep gameplay controls, multiplayer options, and a new career mode. As a simulation, AO Tennis 2 should appeal to those looking for more of a technical tennis simulation, but more casual players looking to smash a ball around with friends should look elsewhere.

Shovel Knight is one of the most beloved and prolific indie games in the past few years. It’s gotten several spin-off games and cameo appearances, and now you can play a card game featuring the characters. Exceed is an existing card game with fighting game mechanics.

You know those cheap paper valentines with popular cartoon characters that you’d give out to your classmates on Valentine’s Day? Or maybe your kids do that now? Well they make Mario ones and I wrote about them last year. They’re doing the same thing this year, but the valentines are a little different so I’m writing about them again!
Cary’s Best Games of the Decade 2010 to 2019 Awards Show Special!
Posted on January 31st, 2020 by
I wasn’t sure at first if I was going to do a ‘best games of the decade’ blog since I wasn’t clear if the decade ends at 2019 or 2020. But then I looked at the last time I wrote a ‘best games of the decade’ blog and it was at the beginning of 2010, and it went from 2000 to 2009, so I figured I’d do one now after all. I provided a link to my last ‘best games of the decade’ blog because I thought it was interesting to read something I wrote ten years ago. So we’re doing it again, although it’s pretty much the games that won my “Game of the Year” award for the past ten years.
PAX South 2020
Posted on January 24th, 2020 by
The Penny Arcade Expo, or PAX for short, is one of the largest video game conventions open to the public in the US. It started out in Seattle, then expanded to another show out East in Boston, and for the past few years, they’ve also had a show in San Antonio with PAX South. Since that’s only a few hours’ drive from where I live, I decided to go again this year along with my dad. Let’s check out what I saw.

It’s that time of year again! It’s the Cary’s Best Games of 2019 Awards Show blog! Keep in mind that no outside opinions went into the making of this list. It’s just my own picks. And if a game is missing from my list, it either didn’t appeal to me as much, or I just simply haven’t played it yet. Can’t play all the games out there, you know!

Cary is Looking Forward in 2020
Posted on January 3rd, 2020 by
At the beginning of every year I like to write a blog about the games I’m looking forward to in that coming year, so here we are again with games I’m looking forward to in 2020! Now keep in mind that these aren’t ALL the games I’m looking forward to. More will be announced at E3 and such I’m sure as the year goes on. And there are some games that I’m looking forward to that have been announced, but I’m not sure they’ll really come out in 2020, like Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 4. But you never know. But here are a list of 2020 games that I’m PRETTY sure are coming this year and I’m looking forward to them.
