A return to Tamriel – how Morrowind brought me back to The Elder Scrolls Online

Ok, real talk here — when The Elder Scrolls Online launched, I played it quite a bit (and even reviewed it), but dropped it soon after; it settled into familiar MMO patterns and I lost interest. With the announcement that the game would be returning to Morrowind, I knew it was

All systems nominal – BattleTech Backer Beta preview

The people at Harebrained Schemes are taking their time to get things right, and that’s a great thing. After all, we have not had our last PC Mechwarrior title since 2002 (MechWarrior Online notwithstanding), and a year prior to that since our last tactical title – MechCommander 2. To really

What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets? – Superhot VR Vive Review

I’ve likely played several thousand games in my life, but there hasn’t been a single one that made me feel as much of a hands-on badass as Superhot VR. In terms of story, I’m not sure I know what the hell is going on, but I know

Should have sent a poet – Endless Space 2 review

There’s something about the 4X genre that, when compared to games like the Civilization series, makes it feel deep and comprehensive. Maybe it’s the vastness of space, and perhaps it’s the diversity of unfamiliar races, but there’s no doubt that the 4X genre is one that
