The Crew is Ubisoft’s newest attempt at setting an extra stake in yet another type of open world game. This time, they’re going for (what they really want you to believe how seedy it is) world of street racing. There’s an absurd amount of side stuff to do as you fit into the boots of…
Surprise plays a huge part in anyone’s enjoyment of a game. Seeing what something you’ve never heard about actually shapes up to be can either be the reason to start humming Ode to Joy or curse the waste of time and money you’ve just started playing. In the case of Grow Home, the overpowering feeling…
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.

Massively multiplayer online games have been around for quite a while, but their influence on single player focused games has only started becoming obvious over the last few years. For better or for worse, the borrowing of MMO elements in what otherwise would be a standard, scripted experience has seen its share of the sunlight…
This War of Mine is a sharp, tightly constructed story about suffering. It’s unafraid to pull punches. It’s unwilling to relent in its stark, strong emotional gravitas. It’s also the best game I’ll probably never play again. Set in a fictional civil war, This War of Mine chronicles the struggle and story of civilians. Coming…
For as great as some of your favorite games might be, I bet very few of them are worth revisiting after you are through with them. In my case, that’s generally what happens, anyway. For Shadow of Mordor, I’m in a crossroad, after being done with most of what it had to offer. If you take into…
Far Cry 4 is probably one of the craziest power fantasy games of the year. While it doesn’t stray very far from what its predecessor laid out — in fact, it’s incredibly similar to Far Cry 3 — it serves up just enough to stand on its on as an extremely fun, albeit overall silly…
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…
