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…
It’s a known fact that ninjas make for incredibly cool videogame heroes. In comes Ronin, the newest game to make you feel like a complete badass stepping into the boots of a cunning and silent helmet wearing killing machine that’s out for bloody revenge. Ronin could be called a turn-based stealth game, but that brings the wrong…
Hearing that there’s a new XCOM game in development wasn’t a surprise, but it was welcome news regardless. As a gigantic fan of the original, I’m extremely hopeful and was very much looking forward to taking its appointment at this year’s E3. The demo presented at 2K’s booth, which since then has hit YouTube in its entirety,…
This year’s E3 could be considered one of the biggest showings for fan favorite franchises to make a return. In Mad Max‘s case, 2015 has been a fantastic year so far. Fury Road, the first film in the franchise in almost thirty years, has gotten an amazing reception that’s helped pump up interest for the upcoming game…
Out of the many games we got to see at E3 2015, the one I took the most for granted was LEGO Dimensions. Surely it would be yet another Skylanders-styled collectible figurine game, but this time with a LEGO license tied to it, right? To my surprise, LEGO Dimensions didn’t feel like just another rehash of the same…
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…
