Game Reviews

I’m gonna start this off by making a pretty broad assumption… very few of you reading this have ever played Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler, right? Considering the game seems to have sold less than half...

Kailan: I find the nature of writing reviews of multiplayer games a conflicting presence. I can tell you how I found the game solo, I can spin you tales of my interactions with others and I...

The Legend of Heroes series is one of my favorite RPG series in recent years. Nihon Falcom’s attention to detail and the interweaving stories of the protagonists and NPC’s always scratches the itch for a...

There’s nothing more gamers love than battling zombies, even if the famous monster has become a tired trend in every media. Even in gaming, zombies feel overly used as an enemy type but often enough,...

To an extent, every game wants to be Zelda. Every game wants to be that game that taps into a gamer's sense of adventure with a huge, sprawling world with puzzles to solve and bosses...

I am a pretty big fan of David Cage and his style of games, Heavy Rain was one of my favorite games from the last generation, and I'm very excited for his next title Detroit....

One of the perks of being an editor/writer for a gaming publication is you sometimes come across little gems that otherwise would have eluded your radar entirely. These little gems are not AAA titles backed...

Splinter Cell is one of those series you either love or hate. You’re either a Metal Gear Solid person or a Splinter Cell person. Pretty much like being a cat or Dog person! Now I’m...

It seems that lately I've been drawn to indie adventure games, entranced by unique aesthetics and interesting storytelling techniques. Fe is one of those titles, though it feels a little weird to call it an...

Sci-Fi is a genre often filled with cautionary tales that predict doom and gloom on a regular basis, sucking all the fun from anything to do with Robots and cool laser guns. To be honest,...

We all know that licensed games have a pretty bad rap in the gaming community, especially licensed games that came before Arkham Asylum. Every now and then as I'm flipping through some of my older...

Founded in 2006, Bluepoint Games developed Blast Factor, one of only two launch titles on ps3's Playstation Network store. Since then, Bluepoint has remained a remaster/port workhorse with their God of War Collection in 2009 effectively...

Games have often been a source of escapism for me; some people like to read stories, but I like to play them. However, for every Final Fantasy or Destiny that I play, where I can...

Dynasty Warriors 9 is a completely massive game, to put it lightly. There is an incredibly large amount of playable characters in the title, 90 to be exact, and a large number of missions to...

We live in an age where gamers relish the past and designers can’t help themselves but pay homage to some of gaming’s most classic titles. One of these shining examples would be the 2012 smash...

It is a common practice in many games, to borrow elements from classic retro titles and format them with shiny new visuals. Even though the sound design resembles something from the 80’s, that is not...

The 90's were a great time to be alive, I'm thankful that I had my teenage years and early twenties during them. Had I known that I was living in one of the greatest eras...

One of the great things about video games is the incredible worlds that creators can come up. The ability to come up with fantastic worlds and to execute a vision is one of my favorite...

As a wee lad, I grew up in the arcades. For those younger readers, arcades used to be the place to play the best games available. I remember spending hours with games like 1942 and loving...

Each Final Fantasy comes with changes that may or may not throw the community surrounding the series into rebellion, as well as staples that fans can expect to find in every game. Every Final Fantasy...

When most people think of video games they think of solving puzzles, killing monsters, building and exploring, or rapid button mashing fighters. What most people don’t think of is cows, crops, or marriage. At least...

Over the last few years my gaming tastes have changed. Walking simulators, a genre that tasks the player with playing out a story in the first person through interactive puzzles or characters, has quickly become...

Arcen Games’ new downloadable content is here with Starward Rogue AuGMENTED, and it triumphantly marches roguelike gameplay deeper into the next millennium, one where robots and severed heads reign (That’s right, “reign” not “rain”—that would...

Over the past few years, Nihon Falcom (with the help of XSEED Games) has been bringing their library of classic RPG titles to the west and to PC. They began with the Ys series, but...

When Legrand Legacy went on Kickstarter, it somehow flew over my radar. After getting a look at it on Steam, however, I realized that it had the potential to be something I have been waiting...

One of the things that I enjoyed the most about Defunct is its sense of speed. There, that feels good to just get it out there. I love a good racing game, and a good...
