Screenshot captured by Hatm0nster (yours truly) I’ve never been happier to be wrong about a game. Never. I was all set and ready to write-off Destiny as a game I wasn’t going to like. Aside from its universe and setting, it seemed like most everything else coming out about the game was giving me reason…

Relationships in Games: The Loner, The Rebel
Sometimes the best relationships we have in games don’t involve other characters. Sometimes the road traveled alone is the best path, the most fulfilling path, the most sensible path. For every game that offers plenty of opportunities for teamwork and romance, there are dozens of others where these choices don’t exist. Your character — the…
Game Hype and CG Trailers
Image By Flickr User: BagoGames (CC) It’s hard not to get excited while watching game trailers isn’t it? Watching a trailer for a game you’re looking forward to feels a bit like looking into the future. It’s a glimpse of things to come, of what we might expect. How could it not be exciting? Just…
Taking a step back to look forward
As the summer gets rolling, my time with games grows thinner and thinner. Just this past weekend I turned on the ol’ 360 to play a little South Park: The Stick of Truth for the first time in nearly 3 weeks. I picked up a couple new games in Steam and put in a few minutes of gameplay,…
Why Games Made From Movies Make Me Sad
Is it just me, or are video games made from movies and books usually not very good? I don’t know, maybe I just pick bad games, but I have learned over the years to never play a game based off of something else, and I have since placed nearly every game I own from this…

One Week On- Watch Dogs
Watch Dogs is a game that i had been really looking forward too for quite some time now, in my eyes it’s one of the few games to have been released on next gen consoles that actually offers something new, and by that i mean it’s probably the first big new franchise to hit the…
The Xbox One: Strike Two
Eighty days ago, less than three months, the Titanfall Xbox One bundle arrived in our house. After going through quite the ordeal to get the thing set up and online, off into the world of next-gen we sailed on a digital ship. Yes, digital. Digital-only. For eighty days we explored a world of games through…
Breaking Up is Hard to Do
*Our scene opens with the writer, a tall bearded 20-something with glasses, sitting in a booth at a local diner. He appears nervous, checking his watch, obviously waiting for someone. A copy of the handheld hit Bravely Default walks through the door and takes a seat across from the writer.* Hey BD, thanks for meeting me…
Multiplayer is the New Pinball
Photo by Flickr user: Matteo Paciotti It kinda stinks what’s happened to pinball isn’t it? In the time since arcades began declining and our modern gaming age, that classic game of flippers and steel balls has fallen from the epitome of fast-paced, yet deceptively complex, frantic fun and transformed into simple franchise tie-in machines getting…
