A well-written apology — NHL 16

A few years ago, EA’s NHL series was considered one of the best sports franchises around. It would consistently make key iterations on important features, all while maintaining the style that brought fans out every release day to purchase the game. That all changed last year with the series’

7 Wonders Babel Expansion Components Review

Expansions are a funny thing. They can range from being absolutely necessary to enjoy a game (Ticket to Ride USA 1910), to completely unnecessary (nobody needs another Carcassonne expansion), to frivolous yet somehow totally necessary (Agricola Goodies Expansion). Somewhere, there’s a sweet spot where an expansion adds a neat

Golden age of rock: Guitar Hero Live preview

This past week I was invited to go and play FreeStyle Games’ new installment of the Guitar Hero franchise. The studio behind the DJ Hero series is bringing back Guitar Hero in very new and exciting ways. Guitar Hero Live features new modes, ways to play, and a beautifully redesigned

Not another zombie shooter — Dead in Bermuda review

Dead in Bermuda bills itself as a survival management game with adventure and RPG elements, which is a decent start at trying to describe just what it is. If you ask me, I’d call it a mashup of Oregon Trail, The Sims, tabletop games like D&D or

A different game of thrones — Armello review

I remember the joy, confusion and irritation of playing Monopoly as a young child. Despite the nebulous and convoluted interpretation of rules that kids play by, each game usually featured players secretly formulating their own strategies, trying to adapt to a changing board until an abrupt moment when a critical

Fast and beautiful – Forza Motorsport 6 review

Last year I declared that Forza Horizon 2 was the best racer I’d played in a decade. I also declared that I liked Forza Horizon 2 more than I liked Forza Motorsport. A tough pill to swallow, unless you are Playground Games, but Turn 10 is back with the

A healthy dose of difficulty, seasoned with nostalgia — Master Spy review

Upon first hearing about Master Spy, it all sounds great: retro style, an intriguing story told through cinematic cutscenes, an original soundtrack. Then you see that it is described as a stealth-based precision platformer. Depending on who you are, this will either catch your interest or turn you off immediately,
