Bastion
When I first came across Supergiant Games’ Bastion, I kind of blew it off as just another action role-playing game. I’m not a huge fan of that genre, so the game wasn’t even really on my radar. However, as I came across more information about the game it began to intrigue me. When I finally […]
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
For those who are not familiar with the Witcher series, it is based off a mid-90s Polish book series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski. Though not having personally been able to read the series since only one book of the five has been translated to English, I have heard that the Witcher games maintain the thematic elements Sapkowski establishes in the books. People are used to black and white storytelling where there is a clear line between good and evil. This is not so in the Witcher. A majority of the game is making decisions that have no clear moral binding.

L.A. Noire
When you first look at L.A. Noire you notice two things: Rockstar Games and a cop. The second thing that is probably thought is this: “Cool, GTA as a cop in 1940s LA.” That line of thinking is very wrong though. L.A. Noire is vastly different than any game you’d expect to see sporting a […]
Dungeon Siege III
When I first heard of Dungeon Siege III and found out a little about it, my mind quickly went to the fine loot gathering days I had with my friends. Not only does Dungeon Siege bring the addictiveness of loot, but it also brings quite a good bit of modern sensibility in terms of game […]

Portal 2
If you stop and think about it, I’ll bet you can count on one hand the amount of video games with a number after the title that are any good. I’ll even go as far as to wager there are even less that you would consider to be better than the original game. Recently, Valve has made an attempt to enter into this coveted unofficial hall of fame with Portal 2. If you’re anything like me, you have fond memories of a smart mouthed, disembodied, computerized, robot voice with a set of morals the KKK would frown upon pushing you through multiple, puzzle-filled chambers that can melt your brain (sometimes literally) while attempting to solve them. Has Valve managed to live up to the challenge with Portal 2? In a word, no; they’ve not only lived up to it, they’ve completely bitch-slapped it.
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas is the latest iteration of the Fallout franchise from publisher Bethesda. Anyone who has played Fallout 3 will notice immediately that Fallout: New Vegas plays exactly the same as its predecessor. Development studio, Obsidian Entertainment, opted out of changing much of the core gameplay in hopes of riding on the success and […]

Set three years after the events of the first game, Isaac Clarke has now found himself in another necromorph filled predicament. But on top of this, he has to now deal with his own inner demons. Visceral Games manages to present an […]
Hard Corps: Uprising
Anyone that was into gaming back in the 80s should know the name “Contra.” For this gamer, Contra for the original NES was the first time I ever input the infamous “Konami Code!” Thirty lives certainly made the game a lot easier to get through. The Contra games have a legacy of being difficult, but […]
