What We’re Playing This Week – Post Apocalypse!
Marshall: Oh boy, have I got a frustrating predicament with my latest fix…or should I say, would-be fix. Here’s what’s what: My great friend and LTG colleague Ben Fitzgerald was super kind to give me his Steam key for the 2013 survival horror hit Outlast, the timing of which was insanely perfect as I’ve been…

Stardew Valley: Because there aren’t enough Harvest Moon games?
I went into playing Stardew Valley with equal parts skepticism and optimism. It was an obvious homage to Harvest Moon, and although you can describe the experience of playing a new Harvest Moon game many ways, “novel” should really not be one of them. You somehow inherit a farm (often by ridiculous circumstances), and must…

Distraction, Memories and Escape – Why Games Like Firewatch and That Dragon, Cancer are Significant
I can’t recall the amount of times I’ve been asked for advice, or how each conversation begins and ends. However, I can remember the themes, motifs, and the glimmer of hope that somehow I’ve helped. I could tell you that each conversation started differently, but end almost at the same point: don’t try to escape…

What We’re Playing This Week – End of January Edition
By the Last Token Gaming Staff Jake – Yoshi’s Island (SNES) – I’m going to play Yoshi’s Island for the sake of playing my entire backlog of SNES games. And for the sake of reliving my childhood that I had lived. When I want to take a break from playing retro games, I plan on continuing…

Let the Challenge Begin – Backlog Challenge 2016
As I stated in the What We’re Playing This Week, I’ve decided to take on a challenge that I feel will definitely be hard to complete. Long ago, I had gone into a period where I thought I had no games to play (which is a lie, I’ll always have games to play) and decided…

Calling all Gamers (and Writers!)
On New Year’s Eve, Terry and Marshall fittingly wound down the old year and began the new one by appreciating what Last Token Gaming had accomplished in 2015, and then discussing what we should aim for in 2016. While Marshall farted around on Skyrim before briefly sampling his new Grateful Dead concert Blu-Ray, we bounced…

Last Token Gaming – A Reflection of 2015
Every reflection I write about Last Token Gaming often ends up talking about my worries both personally and about the http://apkgamescrack.com/category/games/ site. A lot of times they involve burnout, uncertainty, and frustration about numerous things. All of these worries come with the territory, and are always about maintaining a quality that we’ve held since the…
