Review: Citizens of Earth

I feel like just about every gamer who grew up in the SNES era must have at least some lingering fondness for RPGs. While Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy may not have been your go-to titles, few genres from that era, or any other, seem to...

Review: Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Talion is having one of those classic bad days. The ranger of Gondor was just minding his own business while stationed at the Black Gate when he's attacked by the forces of an evil chap named Sauron. After witnessing the ritualistic...

Review: Super Smash Bros. For Wii U

While waiting in line to play Splatoon at E3 this year a Nintendo rep approached me and offered a ticket to go watch a Smash Bros tournament that would be taking place later that day. Looking at the giant competitive event, and the...

Review: The Binding of Isaac Rebirth

Review: Dragon Age: Inquisition

The original Dragon Age: Origins was a rather unique title for its time - It was a touch of RPG in the classic Western vein built around new sensibilities and even though it released a full two years after Mass Effect it was still a time...

Thoughts On Game of Thrones – Episode 1

A Telltale Games and Game of Thrones marriage sounds almost too good to be true. Almost like a Stark and a Frey union. Both entities like to snowball one minor choice or action into long reaching, chaotic events, they both love to have...

Review: Assassin’s Creed Rogue

I have mixed feelings about Assassin's Creed Rogue. The game is by its very nature a shameless cash grab, but it is a very well crafted cash grab. The PS3 and Xbox 360 exclusive is built on the foundation laid by the rest of the series'...
