Review: Bioshock Infinite

It’s hard not to compare Bioshock Infinite to the original Bioshock. The original Bioshock was a near-masterpiece in how it expertly wove narrative, gameplay, and atmosphere all into one cohesive experience. Infinite, on the other hand, just feels like a … Continue reading

Thoughts: Magic The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013

This is kind of late, but I’ve been playing a lot of Magic 2013 lately so I figured I could jot a few thoughts down. I haven’t played the actual Magic: The Gathering card game in almost a decade, but … Continue reading

Thoughts: Warhammer 40K – Space Marine

Review: L.A. Noire

I think that a lot of people didn’t really know what L.A. Noire was before the reviews started rolling out on Tuesday. We weren’t given too much to go on and the commercials really just presented it as another Rockstar-made … Continue reading

Review: Mortal Kombat

It seems weird to be caring so much about Mortal Kombat in 2011. The last time I seriously enjoyed MK was Ultimate Mortal Kombat III. There have been several games since (MK 2011 is the 9th game in the series), … Continue reading
