Review: Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag

Ah how I long for the days of yore where I as a lad dreamt great tales of a life at sea, how exciting I thought it must have been to exist during the Caribbean's Golden Age of Piracy, to have swashbuckling adventures on the high seas and...

Review: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl

Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl, the latest edition from the popular series for the DS and 3DS, released at the beginning of October. So why is this review coming out nearly a month after the fact? Because this seemingly simple...
