The Warhammer franchise was in force at E3 this year. Not only were there multiple games being shown coming in from Focus Interactive – which we’ll also be previewing – Creative Assembly, the makers of some of the finest and possibly the biggest real-time strategy games also had something to show. That something was Total…
I have to admit, so I’ll come out and just say it – I was never a big fan of Mirror’s Edge. Not even close to the level of adoration part of the public was in when it was released a few years ago. So much so that I wasn’t among the screaming crowd that was…
Worlds Adrift is a big departure from Bossa Studios’ recent works. Instead of comedy and unwieldy controls, Worlds Adrift is about exploration. Set in a world where floating islands dot the skies, you play as a nomad wandering the remnants of the world trying to figure out what happened that transformed the world into this…
Armello is a turn-based strategy game wherein you and three other players fight for control of the throne. It’s essentially a virtual tabletop game, as evident by its use of cards and dice and how they’re presented. It’s a bit formidable at first, what with all the systems and mechanics at play (especially as someone…
Between having Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin all come out in the past year, it feels awfully soon for another Souls game. And yet, here we are. Dark Souls 3 exists, for better or worse, and it’ll be out early next year. Going into our appointment, I was…
One of the more fun parts of E3 is running into developers who are showing their games off unofficially – that is, running it on a laptop or mobile device showing it off to anyone they can flag down rather than at a proper booth. Feels like I run into at least one every year….
While playing Shape of the World, there were moments where I was so focused on the game that everything else around me faded. The beautiful colors and soothing sounds of its world had me completely enraptured. It was the perfect escape from all the noise and lights of E3. Shape of the World drops you…
Microsoft’s annual press conference, seeped in the emerald green tones that have become a unique staple of its entertainment branding for years. MS elected to start its show off with a bang, by showcasing Halo 5: Guardians, and its featured conflict between two of its headlining franchise characters, the ubiquitous Master Chief, and the newer…
On Monday, I had the opportunity to speak with the folks at Midboss – Matt Conn, John James, Toni Rocca, and Philip Jones – about their game Read Only Memories, an old-school adventure game set in a cyberpunk-styled San Francisco inspired by games like Snatcher, and a bit about general LGBTQ representation in videogames. Enjoy! [bandcamp…
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…
