Admit it, you have genre prejudice, too. I don’t know what it is about tower defense games, but I can never seem to get over the hump. My perfectionist playstyle makes me hate it when a single enemy gets through. Most of the time in these games a single enemy doesn’t even cause you to lose, but that… Continue reading

The Wolf Among Us: Episode 3 – A Crooked Mile Gamethrough Review: Not By Choice
While I’d appreciate more of a heads up, I can’t help but drop everything once a new episode of The Wolf Among Us arrives. Now with Episode 3 – A Crooked Mile, we are into the meat of the story and Sheriff Bigby and I are both hungry for justice. Watch our full Gamethrough coverage of The… Continue reading
The Wolf Among Us – Faith Review and Gamethrough: Big Bad Ass Detective Work
It has been a fun ride on the Telltale train the last few years. Full of ups, downs, and even a game of the year. I assumed Telltale had peaked. I was convinced that Telltale’s true test would be branching to a new franchise. It did not take long for Telltale to announce that the comic… Continue reading
Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep DLC Review: It’s About Time
While I’ve felt pretty good about being an early adopter of the Borderlands 2 season pass, I’ve not exactly been overwhelmed by extra content that’s been made available since the game’s release. I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth out of the package, the last 3 pieces of DLC played it a bit too safe for… Continue reading
Skyrim Dragonborn DLC Review: Uncomfortably Filling
To me, Skyrim is like a buffet that I have to continually step away from for fear of over indulging to the point of illness. As great as it is, a man can not live on bread and Skyrim alone, especially a man who has to maintain a high level of gaming diversity in order… Continue reading
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes Recoil Review: Form Up
My first introduction to Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes was on the Xbox Live Marketplace in April 2011. I downloaded the demo, gave it a couple of hours of attention, and I never pulled the trigger on the purchase. This puzzle RPG by Capybara Games looked good, but I didn’t know if I should… Continue reading
Dragon’s Dogma Video Reflex Review: Jump On It, Mr. Dave
I’d like to meet the gamers who had high expectations for Dragon’s Dogma. I for one, had no idea what to expect when I heard Capcom was making an western-influenced open world fantasy RPG with a combat system that feels like an action title. I had a feeling I’d be entertained by DD’s quirkiness and… Continue reading
Dungeonbowl Releases on June 8th, Earlier to Pre-orders
Cyanide has set a release date for their Blood Bowl spin-off Dungeonbowl. The game launches on June 8th on their official store and will see a Steam release later in June. The tabletop version was originally released in 1989 as an expansion for Blood Bowl, the Warhammer based fantasy (as in orcs and elves) football… Continue reading
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Reflex Review: Two Swords are Better than One
There’s a disappointingly high chance that there were a lot of gamers out there who are not well acquainted with Geralt, the heavily scarred hero from The Witcher. In fact, I was one of these poor souls until commotion of a sequel began to get louder and louder. Not to be out of the loop,… Continue reading
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
You’re Gonna Get It Anyway: Dragon Age
Role-playing games are a major commitment. It isn’t something an adult gamer with limited game time can jump into easily. When I do leap for an RPG it better offer something unique. As solid as Dragon Age: Origins looked in 2009, and as much love and trust I have for Bioware games, I swore off… Continue reading
Hunted: The Demon’s Forge Tag Teams Those Dungeons
I’ve been thirsty for some actual gameplay footage of Hunted: The Demon’s Forge and here we go: I don’t envy any game trying to establish itself as new fantasy game or a third person cover based action game. However, combining the two may just be different enough to make Hunted stand out. Bethesda obviously sees… Continue reading
