A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Doesn’t Teach New Tricks – Outside of some VR Missions, players are given the opportunity to jump into the shoes of Jetstream Sam and now Blade Wolf, the AI controlled pooch that seeks, and questions, freedom. But this new Blade Wolf add-on has a lot in common with Sam’s side mission; it is a lazy […]
Silent But Deadly – Over the last few years, I had the privilege of experiencing Das Keyboard’s Professional and Model S Professional Silent units. Both are outstanding typist keyboards that remain impressive from the first key stroke. Listening to customer feedback, the developers now offer their same Professional keyboard design but outfitted with their new […]
Pretty But Repetitive – Released back in October 2012, Liberation Maiden was the first game to be released in the GUILD01 series of games, preceding Aero Porter and Crimson Shroud. Suda51 of No More Heroes and Lollipop Chainsaw fame has brought AAA production values to this downloadable title but gameplay falls short with repetition. It […]
Droid Powered – GEN has turned the little green Android mascot into a USB charger. Outside of its charming presentation it is still just a portable charging device that will speak to Android owners if they are willing to pay the extra cuteness tax. Comes with all you need This novelty item comes with everything […]
What’s That Fishy Smell? – Despite this series having a long and respected gaming history, Super Black Bass 3D is an unplayable and incomplete mess.

A Saturday Morning Cartoon – Building off the success of last year’s Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure, Skylanders Giants uses the same model of gameplay and even the same toys to give youngsters an approachable dungeon crawling romp. The Skylanders series is unlike anything else out there because the game uses physical toys digitally. From the USB […]
Mirror Mirror On the Wall – Before jumping into Mirror of Fate’s 10 hour quest, it might be best to remove any preconceived notion you have the Castlevania series. Thing is, it is not a new Symphony of the Night, nor is it Lords of Shadow, and it isn’t quite like the games in the […]
Colorful But Confusing – Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 was created for fans of the Naruto series. Gameplay is straightforward enough that any player can button mash through the campaign, but only gamers with extensive Naruto knowledge will actually understand what the hell is going on. The biggest downfall is the overabundance of storytelling. These non-interactive […]
Building A Mystery – The Legend of Zelda is one of the most beloved video game franchises of all time. But for a series that is so treasured, Nintendo has been coy about giving fans an insider scoop regarding detailed plotlines, development commentary, and the behind the scenes creative process. In fact, the overarching storyline […]
Players Go Down The Hole – The Cave is a puzzle adventure game designed by Ron Gilbert of Manic Mansion and Monkey Island fame. Like his other classic adventure titles, the player chooses three of seven different playable characters each with a unique backstory and special ability. Once a team of three has been assembled, […]
