Vainglory Review
MOBAs, or Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas, are the new plateau of the the PC evangelists. Like the Action RPGs of old, anyone who is a primarily PC player probably also is a moderate League of Legends or DOTA participant. The…
Warhammer 40000 Review
Science fiction has a great reputation for setting the bar high when it comes to progress in social, technological, and military spheres (among many others). Unlike other fiction genres, Sci-fi isn’t held so strictly to conventional logic and reason. I…
Super Smash Bros for 3DS Review
Super Smash Brothers is a franchise that has a lot of different memories with different people. Maybe it means the competitive scene behind Melee, wave-dashing, wombo-comboing and everything that comes with it. Maybe it’s getting drunk and playing Brawl with…
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Review
When I was in 12th grade I spent the majority of a partly cloudy Saturday in a classmate’s basement reading through Tolkien’s magnum opus, The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Not out of personal curiosity, mind you, but as a…
Velocity 2X Review
The arcade space shoot em up is, quite literally, one of the oldest genres in gaming. From Spacewar! back in the 70’s, “shmups” have taken the last 50 years to iterate and refine the art of flying in one direction…

The Walking Dead: No Turning Back Review
Warning: this review contains references and suggestions that could be seen as spoilers. The finale of Telltale’s second season in the world of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead had a lot of buildup, but it completely fumbles the landing, making…
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth1 Review
Full disclosure: I’ve never played any of the Neptunia games.They were much too niche for me to even be aware of their existence. With the relative drought in regards to meaty content for Vitas in the last couple of months,…
Abyss Odyssey Review
Saving Chile (and, you know, the world) can be pretty difficult. Especially when you’re frenemies with the source of the impending doom. You deride the Abyss and its both effortless and indiscriminate destruction throughout the 19th-century South American countryside, but…
The Wolf Among Us Season 1 Review
The pages of any Raymond Chandler or Chester Himes novel can make almost any reader feel like a hardboiled gumshoe. You can live in the dark, twisted corners of fictionalized versions of real-life locales, dirtied by the urchins who grow…
