Last year was the first year I really sat down and weighed the performance of video games and how they impacted me. This year, I sat down with controller in hand, WASD keys at my fingertips, a headset firmly placed over my ears, and I called upon the spirit of the gamer to come up… Continue reading

Episodic games are some of the more difficult games to master, and this holds especially true when it… Continue reading

Well ain’t that just a dream come true, even if it’s short lived. Earning money is simple. Be an… Continue reading
Like many players, I usually move on to the next conquest when a new release comes to my doorstep. That are some games that you go back to over and over even though your game library keeps growing.

This has to be one of the most perplexing games I’ve heard about in recent memory. The game’s name is Curiosity. It’s going to be released on iOS and Android for free on November 7, and I still have no clue what the hell the game really is about. I’m even wondering if one could… Continue reading

EA has officially announced SimCity will release on March 8, 2013 for PC and Mac.

Hart of Dixie not only product placed Halo 4, but the show introduced a new… Continue reading
Dungeon Defenders was released only a year ago. It seems like more than that with the sheer amount of content its produced and the hours of entertainment I’ve immersed myself in. When I was perusing the Steam store yesterday I came across a massive sale on Dungeon Defenders content. Naturally, I clicked on it to find more and more… Continue reading
With December 21, 2012 looming I must be subconsciously trying to branch out. In recent weeks I gave Torchlight II a try with friends and family, and I felt like a complete noob. I don’t typically get into point and click, hack and slash dungeon crawlers like Torchlight. Somehow I got sucked up into all the hype… Continue reading
It is my favorite time of the year. The leaves are changing color. The air has a cool, crisp feel to it. Halloween’s coming so I get to dress up as a hairless stripper with a peg leg and no one will judge me, and Double Fine is launching a sale across many platforms to just… Continue reading
