Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP Review: It is a Time of Miracles
What happens when you distill a fantasy game down to its very bones? You are left with a hero, a conflict, a quest, an enemy, and a will to move forward. Now what if you take those elements and add a gorgeous pixel art style, an amazingly immersive soundtrack, and an extremely minimalist story that… Continue reading
Back to the Future Demo is Short a Few Jigawatts
When I first heard that Telltale Games was releasing Back to the Future: The Game, I have to say I had mixed feelings. In my opinion, very few movies have made the transition to games and succeeded. One could say that I’m just narrow minded when it comes to the kinds of games I enjoy,… Continue reading
Jurassic Park The Game Roars in April
A few months ago, all we had heard about the Jurassic Park game coming from Telltale Games was that it was in fact coming. We had no details, no images and no trailers to whet our appetites for what might be coming. All we had was our imaginations and I don’t think they will be… Continue reading

It looks like Rockstar is going to kick us square in the pants again with another game that some of us might have dismissed when we first heard about it’s development. L.A.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West Review: Monkeying Around the Apocalypse
With so many details to love about Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, the moment that really struck me is one of the most intangible yet core elements that games seem to be missing these days. Right in the middle of my adventure when I successfully fended off another horde of mechs in destructive slow motion… Continue reading
100 Percent Is Less Than 99 Percent
Recently, I did something that I hardly ever do. I reached the end of one game without touching another game at all. I focused and pushed through the point where I normally stop and never come back. I always want the game to give me a reason to come back for more. That’s why the… Continue reading
