    If you were on social media over the past few weeks, you might have seen some footage of men without shirts at a fighting game tournament. Specifically, playing Tekken, as a wild and raucous crowd egged them on. In an effort to share one of eSports’ more peculiar traditions, I feel compelled to break this down from the start.

    Creating a single player campaign in a first-person shooter used to be an art form. Hell, it used to be almost required. “Half-Life 2,” the “Halo” games, “Titanfall 2,” and “Bioshock” — all excellent in their own rights and all reminiscent of an early age in gaming, one that is now non-existent for as far as I’m concerned.

It wasn’t as good as the last two seasons, which really found their groove — this year was more of a retread of those same ideas and bits.

    I spent many moons trying to figure out how to squeeze some “Ratchet” into my writing. I’ve played every one to completion, PSP entries excluded, and I figured that pulling out the big guns was my best way forward. The “Ratchet” games, and to a degree all Insomniac games, are about the weapons and gadgets — their humor, their coolness, their absurdity.
