I know what to expect from stealth games and I know what to expect from plots centered around AI, but I knew I had to give Volume the benefit of the doubt and it still surprised me. Tearing a genre down to its core and giving it a fresh well-written story isn’t as easy as… Continue reading

Imagine that you’ve spent your entire life training for something and then you learn that those skills could become absolutely useless? I’m not talking about Liberal Arts, but the well-respected act of English thievery. Ah, the grace of breaking-and-entering. The beauty of hacking a computer hooked directly into a bank account. The majesty of hitting a robot with a… Continue reading
It’s not often I get sent on a journey to battle the gods, but I’m not one to turn down a challenge. My city’s been ransacked and that’s gotten me a little upset, so it’s hard not to make rash decisions. Plus I have a lot of swords, spears and a sweet axe. Zeus, come at… Continue reading

Initially, I was intimidated by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Aside from just being behind by never finishing the other games, the controls were daunting. I never felt comfortable in The Witcher 2. It seemed like other players adapted in previous games and I wasn’t going to be left behind on Round 3. This time… Continue reading
Someone needs to spy on Klei Entertainment because I think they may have conquered another genre. Invisible, Inc. is intuitive, sneaky, and stylish.
