Thoughts On Tales From The Borderlands – Episode 1

You might not remember this but TellTale Games used to be a happier company. Before The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us shot the company to the top of the AAA stratosphere with their grim and depressing worlds, TellTale was better...

Review: Far Cry 4

UbiSyndrome - This is a new term I'm coining - UbiSyndrome: A gaming narrative in which the core parts underwhelm the player but all optional content turns out to be entertaining and enjoyable.  UbiSyndrome. Use it in a sentence?...
