Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: you’re in a game exploring a mansion – go ahead and stop me if you want – and you’re all alone in the dark – go on! – it’s really scary and you’re defenseless. Drat, you didn’t stop me! All right, that was a lame attempt at…
It’s only been a few months since Dark Souls 2 landed and already we’ve got another Souls-esque game to get excited about. Bloodborne comes from the creator of the Souls series himself, Hidetaka Miyazaki, developed in conjunction with Sony Japan. It is very much a Souls game, borrowing many of its design sensibilities, but only…
Who would’ve known Borderlands could ever be made into an adventure game? For one, the folks at Telltale Games. Tales from the Borderlands is their newest episodic game set in the crazy world of Pandora, that follows the events right after the end of Borderlands 2. Whether or not you were wondering what was going on…
Quietly scheduled a few weeks before E3, my appointment with Daedalic was incredibly unassuming. I’ve been a fan of their games ever since laying eyes on The Whispered World, and as an adventure game aficionado, I couldn’t help but be very interested in the chance of meeting some of the folks behind many of the…
Dragon Age: Inquisition might just be the game that brings me into the series. After giving multiple tries in the original Dragon Age: Origins, I could never really get into the game. That is certainly a little ironic, since I’m such a huge fan of the Knight of the Old Republic games, which play pretty…
The Metal Gear Solid series is no stranger to absurdity, so nobody was surprised that after the relatively well closure of the saga in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, we would be getting even more new games that retcon new events and characters into the already convoluted timeline. Metal Gear Solid V:…
I always feel a special kind of tinge in my heart whenever I get to see a game that’s inspired by Super Meat Boy. It’s that kind of feeling that marries well with the dread I’m certain to feel right afterwards, when my poor character has lived through what cats would consider eons. Fenix Rage…
Battlecry seemed like my kind of multiplayer game from the get go. Coming out of a very positive presentation at the Bethesda booth, we quickly got our hands on time with the game. My hopes were then confirmed, even this early on in Battlecry‘s development. Heading this project is Battlecry Studios, a company put together by…
The Rainbow Six: Vegas series holds a special place in my heart as the host of some of my best multiplayer memories. The mix of realistic tactical gameplay and great game modes made those two games so much fun that it pained me to see Rainbow Six take a back seat after Patriots’ cancellation. All’s…
It seems almost fitting that my experience with the first part of Dark Souls 2’s Crowns of the Fallen Kings DLC trilogy – Crown of the Sunken King – began with all my equipment broken. I was given control of a standard warrior archetype wielding a Longsword and a shield, only both of those things…
