I’ve always watched the Souls games with an excited but fearful interest. The games are of course highly regarded but are an admittedly difficult series. With my time and attention pressed, I have decided its better to just watch others enjoy the cruelty of the games than try them myself. I was excited to… Continue reading

Strife: Veteran Edition Review: Creating Some Nostalgia
Unfortunately for those buying games this year on release day, or even release quarter, they are being rewarded with strange character glitches, impossible to finish side-quests and various other bugs. There is a better way friends and I’m here to help! For the best and most reliable gaming experience, take a play from my book… Continue reading
Played Dragon Age: Inquisition – I Am the One Who Decides the Decisions
Despite my good intentions, I’ve never really given Dragon Age much time. My BioWare time was monopolized by my Mass Effect addiction and the multiple awesome playthroughs that caused. For all its greatness, Mass Effect kind of broke the way I played RPGs. Paragon or Renegade, make your choice. Even if I was eventually given… Continue reading
Played South Park: The Stick Of Truth – It’s Finally South Park
As gamers and South Park fans, it’s no secret that we all tried to pretend that we liked all of the attempts that have been made to bring the essence of what makes South Park into a game, even though they were all terrible. As much fun as it was to throw snow balls at… Continue reading
Backlog Commando Kenny Played The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
I try not to gush too much, but if you listened to the podcast, I gushed all over A Link Between Worlds. I love Zelda, but the last few outings haven’t really done it for me. Skyward Sword was slow, plodding, and held back by motion controls; Twilight Princess was… well, just totally expected. Listen to… Continue reading
Backlog Commando Cole Played The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
The saying “familiarity breeds contempt” often holds true when sequels don’t expand much on the predecessor, but that couldn’t be further from the truth with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. After enough time, familiarity can turns into nostalgia and little callbacks to the original game lead to knowing smiles. A Link Between Worlds… Continue reading
Nimble Quest Review: Get in Line, Hero
Nimble Quest has been my goto few-minutes-to-kill mobile game for over a year now. A game developed by NimbleBit, creators of Tiny Towers and the short lived Star Wars: Tiny Death Star. It’s a snake type game where you move an ever growing train of heroes with the flick of a finger. You can move… Continue reading
Bound by Flame Reflex Review: Pants on Fire
Bound by Flame is an action RPG set against your basic fantasy backdrop – my kinda game. The only reason I was aware of this game’s existence is that it briefly appeared in the featured carousel of Steam when it was released in May of this year. I took a look, liked what I saw, but… Continue reading
Played Wasteland 2 – Overwhelming Options
I hate Ikea. I hate the funnel you’re forced into while searching for the things you need, I hate the crowds and I even hate the little pencils you’re given in order to fill out your order. What I hate most of all are the options. Options are good, but too many can be a… Continue reading
South Park: The Stick of Truth Review: New Kid on the Block
Games based on television shows or movies have a track record of being doomed from the start. Considered quick cash grabs, they’re often rushed, under-developed and destined for the clearance bin of your favorite electronics retailer. That is what went through my mind when I first heard there would be a new South Park game…. Continue reading
A Second Chance For Diablo III – Part 1: Loot 2.0
Diablo 3 may be one of the most polarizing games to have been released in the last few years. On one side you have people who really enjoyed the third installment in the Diablo series and have poured hundreds of hours into the game. Standing on the opposite aisle are the individuals that absolutely hate… Continue reading

Red Hook Studios’ Darkest Dungeon has not only achieved its Kickstarter goal, it’s done so in spectacular fashion. With 14 days left, the “challenging gothic roguelike RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring” is already 300% funded, a testament to its intriguing take on the genre as well as its unique art direction. I think the… Continue reading
