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…
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…
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…
