Telltale Announces New Walking Dead Mini-Series
While Telltale has ventured into a number of big-name IPs in the last couple years (Borderlands, Game of Thrones), they’re still very well known for the explosive impact that The Walking Dead made on the gaming world just a few years ago. Personally, I was blown away by Season 1 and have had very few experiences as emotional as that ...
Read More »Heroes of the Storm Review
On paper, I shouldn’t really be enamored by Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard’s first foray into the MOBA genre. Its casualized and dumbed down approach to the genre seems like a retraction rather than an advancement for the MOBA formula. On the contrary, where Heroes of the Storm removes complicated staples of the genre, it adds in new mechanics that ...

Amazon is always trying to diversify. Now when I saw that Amazon was planning on making a game I assumed that it would have something to do with their Fire series. They have been quietly developing several games for the medium over the past year. And they have had some success in their endeavours; Lost Within topped Apple’s top game ...

Its been just over a week since Destiny’s House of Wolves expansion came out, and since then people have beaten the endgame content enough to be able to just melt the endgame boss within minutes, emerged victorious from the most grueling PvP mode undefeated, and reach the level cap within days. On paper, this might seem like theres just no ...

Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter is a wildly successful and popular MMORPG for PC and Xbox One. In fact, earlier this year I wrote an article about why I think that Neverwinter belongs on every Xbox One. Today, Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios announced that Neverwinter will be receiving its seventh expansion in the form of an update called Strongholds. From the official announcement: “Reminiscent ...

They recently announced that the device would hit shelves by Spring of next year, and now we know what they recommend for Oculus Rift. In order to deliver a consistent user experience, a set of recommended specifications have been set. These can ...

Ekko’s main power relies in his ability to affect and manipulate time to his advantage. In a post fully outlining his abilities, Ekko is shown to be a ...
Read More »Steam Greenlight Spotlight: Estoc
Today’s Greenlight spotlight is focusing on Estoc, a simplistic multiplayer sword-fighting game. Often in games, simple mechanics lead to boring and repetitive gameplay, which in turn repels potential players. Estoc features such simple mechanics that I worry it won’t have enough lasting potential to draw a large community. However, as well as Nidhogg did (which is a very similar game), ...
