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

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine is a surprising game. At first glance, it’s easy to dismiss it as a cash-in third-person shooter relying on franchise recognition. At second glance, you’ll notice it was developed by a team experienced with the franchise … Continue reading

Review: Dark Souls

Dark Souls is frustrating, difficult, unintuitive, clunky, stressful and often baffling. Despite all of those things (or more likely, because of them), it’s great. Like Demon’s Souls before it, Dark Souls feeds on your desire to overcome and succeed against … Continue reading

Thoughts: Resistance 3 (campaign)

Let’s be honest: the Resistance series hasn’t ever been top-notch. The first game introduced a pretty interesting lore/universe and the groundwork for some creative weapons, but it was plagued by a gray color palate, some muddy launch game graphics, and … Continue reading

Review: Deus Ex – Human Revolution

Having never really spent much time with the original Deus Ex, I found myself comparing Human Revolution to another similar game: Alpha Protocol. The thing about Alpha Protocol was that it had really good concepts but very poor execution. By … Continue reading

The original Infamous was kind of a surprise. I picked it up only because it included a code for the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta (as I’m sure was the case for lots of people), but it turned out being a … Continue reading
