Hearthstone: Murder at Castle Nathria keeps the RNG-train rolling
Murder at Castle Nathria is another strong expansion to the now venerable Hearthstone, but it doesn’t address the game’s core problems.
Warcraft III finally gets Reforged, but is it enough of an upgrade?
Blizzard’s classic RTS is brought back to the front with updated visuals and rebalanced content, but lacks some features from the original release.
What’s the deal with Overwatch’s loot boxes?
After reading through Gareth’s excellent analysis of Hearthstone, I’ve decided to talk about Blizzard’s other hit, Overwatch. Mainly, I wanted to touch upon what bothers me the most about it: the loot boxes. Like a litany of other online multiplayer games, Overwatch “drops” are tied to an acronym whose mention sends shivers down the spine […]
Hearthstone: A great, fundamentally broken game
As 2017 marches through August and into September, Hearthstone has just experienced the launch of its sixth expansion in three years. Since March 2014 when the game originally released, it has been regularly supported with the launch of new cards sets and occasional single-player adventures. I’ve played Hearthstone semi-regularly throughout this time, playing enough games […]
Diablo 3: Rise of the Necromancer Review – A Game of Bones
The old saying, “the more things change, the more they stay the same,” is perhaps a more than fitting description for Diablo 3’s newest character focused expansion pack.

It includes an assortment of bonuses like a new non-combat pet, more bank tabs for PC owners of […]
World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Review
For as much that’s touted to be new and exciting in Warlords of Draenor, the newest addition to World of Warcraft, we’re again dealt the token Blizzard expansion experience. That’s not to say Draenor is a boring content pack — in fact, it isn’t, for the leveling content, at least. Evil things are going on […]
Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition Review
“Because I could not stop for death, he kindly stopped for me.” The first line from a lyrical poem written by Emily Dickinson may sum up the final battle from the recently released Reaper of Souls expansion, far more elegantly and with outstanding accuracy, given that it was first published in 1890. In truth, Diablo III’s journey […]
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft Review
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft presents a fresh spin on the card collecting genre. Developed by the gaming addiction experts at Blizzard, on the surface it appears to be a simple, yet underwhelming trading card game, and after a few short play sessions, you may be tempted to write it off as a simplified version of […]
