By Mario OrozcoThe end of Mar’s Gaming Garage is here, and I can’t think of a better way to put the series to rest than with one of my favorite games. For the finale of Mar’s Gaming Garage, I chose to review Persona 5, a Japanese role-playing game. Persona 5 is one of the most well-rounded games I have ever played and strongly holds the number two spot on my gaming Mount Rushmore. The story of Persona 5 is both fun and thought-provoking.

By Mario OrozcoUsing stealth is one of my favorite ways to play and experience a game. Something about sneaking around and taking out enemies one by one has always been appealing. This week, Mar’s Gaming Garage will be looking at Dishonored, a stealth-action game set in the plague ridden city of Dunwall. Dishonored follows the Royal Protector, Corvo, who’s been framed for the death of the empress and the kidnapping of her daughter Emily.

By Mario Orozco When you look at the history of gaming, Call of Duty (COD) is one of the most popular franchises of all time, boasting 24 mainline games. Only one of these games is important today, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 (BO6), recommended to me by a communications major. Like most COD games, BO6 is essentially three games in one — multiplayer, zombies and the campaign. To be fair to the game, I’m going to be looking at each mode individually and give my overall thoughts at the end.

By Mario OrozcoThe Dragon Ball franchise has been around since the 80s and is a childhood favorite for many people, including myself. This week’s Mar’s Gaming Garage will be on a brand-new game, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. Sparking Zero is filled with content, it builds off past games to create something that feels nostalgic yet fresh at the same time. One of my favorite aspects of this game is the episode battles.

By Mario OrozcoTo escape from the stress of reality, you take a job as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness. This week’s edition of Mar’s Gaming Garage will focus on Firewatch, an indie game recommended to me by a psychology major. Firewatch had its share of ups and downs throughout my play through.  One of the strongest moments was the opening scene of the game.
