Red Dead Redemption: Second Time’s a Charm?
At the beginning of 2013, I finally got around to playing Red Dead Redemption. We had rented to game some months earlier, and though it looked interesting at the time, I was too engrossed in other games to really take notice.

The Question of Buying New Games for Old Systems
Maybe there’s no question, right? I mean, in the years where VHS takes overlapped with DVDs and cassettes stood alongside CDs, the newer tech won without question.

The Completion of Lightning Returns and a Question
It took about 95 hours, but I am finally done with Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns, and I don’t think I want to play another RPG again for a long, long time. Nevertheless, I ended up having a lot of fun with the game, even if my initial impressions weren’t great. Before I get into…

Do You Still Care About Achievements/Trophies?
It’s no secret that a huge amount of gamers love obtaining achievements and trophies. Since their introduction during the last console generation, entire communities and websites have appeared, devoted to helping achievement hunters hear that satisfying ping noise on their TV screen. For a long time, I belonged to this group of people.
A Look At Shadow of Mordor’s Unique Nemesis System
Images and video captured by GamerCrash Shadow of Mordor always has a lot of ambition in what it was trying to do. A brand new story line that doesn’t tie into the Lord of the Rings movies in anyway, you play Talion, a former Gondor Ranger, who is seeking revenge on an entity known as…
Using Games to Get You in the Mood to…Play Games
Many of us have been there. You know that some gaming time is coming your way, be it an hour or seven, and you psych yourself up for it. You plan to jam through game after game after game! Defeating old bosses, facing new ones! Finishing that one game from your backlog that’s been bothering…
