For as much as we can say about high definition re-releases of video games over the last few years, for how easy a cash-in they can be or giving out judgment in regards to their quality, there’s one fact that can’t be denied: a great game from years ago can still be a great game…
Game of Thrones‘ premiere episode started and ended in excellent manner. Like the books and fantastic TV show, no punches were pulled as plenty of gut wrenching were in store throughout it. Episode two also deserves a lot of praise for its quality, but in a different manner. The Lost Lords manages to carry the…
I like Bill Murray. I said it. He’s a funny guy. He’s great in Ghostbusters, excellent in Lost in Translation, and pretty amazing in Rushmore. But one film of his I will always come back to is Groundhog Day. Murray’s portrayal of irritable, arrogant weatherman Phil Connors trapped in a time loop on February 2nd,…

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…
Telltale Games’ premiere to Game of Thrones is a good reminder of just how exciting their format of adventure gaming can be. Although not exactly the most difficult or action driven game out there, their newest series starts out with an incredible bang in episode one, titled Iron from Ice. Starring one of the lesser…
The saying goes that if you want to steal from someone, you might as well steal from the best. While nobody could ever go as far as saying Shadow of Mordor steals, it certainly borrows the best elements of some of the most fun stealth games around and makes terrific use of them in one…
