There is a mundane routine with every video game review. You read through all the PR fluff that is sent to your inbox, try to ignore all the hype and discourse found on social media, and try your best to plow through the game as objectively as you can.
I did none of that.

If you gave me the option to either win at a crane game or abandon everything in life and move to some island in the Pacific, I’d chose the latter. I’m not only awful at crane games, but I hate them with a burning desire.
So you could only imagine how I felt like when I encountered one in Yakuza Kiwami.

2018 was a lackluster year for me in terms of video games. Sure, there were some great releases such as Forza Horizon 4, DJMax Respect, Tokimeki Idol and Soulcalibur IV – but 2018 was alright for the most part. However, there was a game that was released this year that was more than “alright.” A game that not only captivates my imagination but also places me in a trance that I never thought I would experience from a home setting.
My game of the year for 2018 is Groove Coaster.
(Sorry, DDR isn’t on this list - I just like the MAX 300 look)

It’s been a while since we’ve done an arbitrary list on this site. So, for all the three readers that read my content, here are my picks for some rhythm games out in the market right now that you should consider picking up.
Note, depending on where you live some of these games may require importing.

I took a two-month hiatus from writing about video games. It wasn’t because I’ve fallen out of the medium, it was just that I had other obligations to fulfill such as focusing on graduation to get that fancy piece of paper saying I’m qualified to write about the news.
But whether you liked my writing style here or not, I’m back and there is no better way to launch a comeback other than a top-9 list (yes nine, not ten) because who doesn’t need any more of that in their life?
The following list is my top-9 favorite video games in no order, and I do want to note that this list is littered with personal anecdotes.

Ignore the clickbait title - or not, I mean this site is called clickbliss after all. A few weeks ago I posted up an editorial stating that the Switch wasn’t doing it for me - yet. However, the folks over at Namco has decided to #bless us with Taiko no Tatsujin for the Nintendo Switch.
And that changes everything for me.

My cousin was dropping me off at the airport and I asked if we could swing by any store. I didn’t know what I wanted but I’d figured I would find something to get for the four-hour flight back home.
I ended up getting a Switch. Six months later, was it a wise purchase?

The Games We Played is a year-end round up of thoughts about games we spent time with.
Walking on the touchline of the pitch, I gaze upon my eleven players as they line up. The national anthem is sung and the fireworks exploding in the background. The whistle is eventually blown and the game starts, but 48 seconds into the game, Los Angeles Galaxy scored against us. In a fit of rage, I jump up and my laptop flew off the table.
