Of all film franchises that have had any influence of videogames, the one that I can imagine have made the deepest contribution has got to be the Mad Max series. Games like Borderlands and The Last of Us have painted gorgeously distopic experiences, each on their own unique way, based somewhat on what Mad Max…
Rocksteady has finally put the conundrum they themselves created to bed. Their new Batman game, Arkham Knight, proves that there can be too many Batman games. Granted, they have been on a steady decline quality-wise ever since the original, fantastic Arkham Asylum, but the series is far from being considered anything remotely close to bad….
The 2001 film A.I: Artificial Intelligence, is a fascinating, if flawed film. What the film does have in spades is memorable set pieces. In one such example, the robot boy David and his robot friend Gigolo Joe (Haley Joel Osment and Jude Law respectively) fly across a flooded Manhattan, the abandoned skyscrapers jutting out of…
The Talos Principle is quite simply one of the story driven puzzle games you can play. It spins a cool yarn in the midst of some of the most challenging puzzles this side of Portal. Yeah, comparing it to Portal is easy enough, given how much of the game isn’t its gameplay, but actually how much…
It’s time for Rainbow Six Siege to come out. It just needs to be out on shelves already. Seriously. Seven years after the release of Vegas 2, us couch counter-terrorism freaks are itching for a chance to take out some tangos for the sake of freedom and the videogame way of life. And heck, Siege…
Apologies for the dark and ominous title there, folks. Harvest Moon games are anything but from the outset. In fact, they’re probably the happiest looking games you might jump into. But upon closer inspection, they are pure, concentrated evil. Don’t trust that cow. It only looks cute to lure you into its grasp! Nah, I’m just…
There’s always something special about games with deceptively weak protagonists. It’s easy to just call them off and go for the burly types, but in my mind, it’s way more fun when intelligence beats brawn with its own medicine. That’s what Alawar Entertainment hopes to bring to the table with Goliath, a game with a…
What better way is there to play an RPG than having a friend along for the ride? Let me tell you, after watching Divinity Original Sin: Enhanced Edition‘s demo at E3 this year, I can’t think of any. Divinity‘s space at the show was a show on itself, as I got to sit for a…
Reviewing a game like The Witcher 3 is more than just sitting down, playing a game and then writing about its ifs, whats, buts, and whys. Coming in as a fan of both the original game in a limited capacity and having considered Assassin of Kings, the previous entry in the series, one of my…
In 1973, the Cold War entered a new phase. In Chile, the democratically elected President, Salvador Allende, was overthrown by a military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet. The coup was sponsored by the United States government, with the approval of Richard Nixon. Overnight, 41 years of democratic rule in Chile was ended. The military…
