Image captured by Hatmonster. The release of Destiny is important. It is. Whether you love the game or hate the game, our general reaction to its release has made it important. Many of us, while definitely enjoying the game, have found ourselves disappointed with everything surrounding the core gameplay: the story, the characters, the by-the-numbers…

INFRA: You Have To Keep It Together!
Image supplied by Loiste Interactive (Note: Pictured work is still in production.) At PAX Prime 2013 I met a man whom I initially recognized as Booker DeWitt from BioShock. I didn’t think much of it beyond the costume being pretty cool, that is until they introduced themselves. It so happened that I had met Luke…
Let Them Play
Image by Flickr User: Tom Newby Photography (cc) The major controversy may have faded, but we never really saw a resolution to the root cause to all of the Youtube troubles that cropped up last year due to some new content policies and overly-zealous video-claiming. As far as I know, Fair Use law didn’t get…
Why Haven’t We Moved On?
Image by Flickr User: Doug Kline (cc) There’s something different about this generation of home consoles. Not so much in the power or what they can do, but rather in our perception of them. Here we are, almost 10 months since the PS4/Xbox One launched, almost 2 years since the Wii U launched, and we’re…
Pokemon is a Game of Great Moments
Image by Flickr User: BagoGames (cc) Normally a series as unchanging as Pokemon would have long ago faded into oblivion.

Image By Flickr User: gray_um (cc) My opinion of Mirror’s Edge has been in a state of flux ever since I first played the game back in 2008. I loved it initially, eventually bought into the endless online criticism of the game and became a critic of the game myself for the last 5 years….

The Best (and Worst) of The Wolf Among Us
Image by Flickr User: BagoGames (CC) The first season of The Wolf Among Us felt absolutely brilliant! The story was engaging, the characters were interesting, and the gameplay kept me on my toes. I could not wait to talk about this game again once I had finished the final episode of the first season “Cry Wolf”. However,…
Onward To Destiny!: Lessons of the Beta
All images captured by Hatm0nstar It’s kind of hard to believe that the Destiny beta has already come and gone; it seems like just the other day we were all gearing up to see all the the Crucible and Cosmodrome had to offer, which turned out to be quite a bit! The long wait following…
Why MMO’s?
Image by Flickr User: JBLivin (cc) found yourself wondering what it would be like to actually live in the worlds of some of your favorite games? I’ve been a console gamer for almost my entire experience with the medium, only venturing onto PC for the odd RPG or Steam deal. I also played Runescape for all…
