Seeing as how I recently re-immersed myself in the Dragon Age universe thanks mostly to a game of the year copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition, it’s not easy for me to pass up a Dragon Age story in the news.

Listmas 2017: Five “New” Discoveries I’ve Made While Replaying Dragon Age: Inquisition
In early 2015, I ran through Dragon Age: Inquisition — quite literally, I mean, at about fifty hours of play. I sped around Thedas, did away with all the enemies, and saved the day. That was that, and I moved on. I didn’t give the game much thought again until recently when I replayed Dragon…
Tricks, Treats, and Feats: Gifting in Dragon Age: Origins

It’s an odd sense, one…

Aside from a few games that have been set to run at 60fps, it really hasn’t felt the monumental arrival of the Next Generation of Gaming that we thought it was…
Relationships in Games: The Teammates
I recently picked up South Park: The Stick of Truth (SoT), and I’ve been having an absolute blast with it. It’s a fun, funny, and fantastic game complete with decent mechanics and enjoyable gameplay. SoT is a turn-based combat game, and it’s been awhile since I’ve played one of them. Thinking back…the last one had…
