Nintendo: Being Different Shouldn't Come at the Expense of Quality

I have a theory: None of the higher-ups at Nintendo own or have played a Sony or Microsoft console. I laugh at my joke, but it’s not like I say this without reason; the reason being that I find it hard to believe a company with such cumbersome and

How can something so pretty be so spooky? — The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

When I saw the Gamescom trailer of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, I was unreasonably pumped.  The trailer presented an eerie detective game with puzzle mechanics and a supernatural aura.  My friend and I sat together, theorizing over ramen noodles about what the game would play like.

Somewhere in the deepest inaccessible depths where no light from the sun has ever reached, rests the Kingdom of Abyss. Players vie for influence, explore incredible locations, fight ancient monsters, and court the lords of the deep in their quest to claim the throne. Abyss first appears wholly original, foreign

Reviews   -   Oct 01, 2014 Gotta trap ’em all—Skylanders Trap Team review

My first reaction toward Skylanders Trap Team is one of deep, unmitigated cynicism. “I know exactly what you’re trying to do to me,” I say to the game, as I walk past a door with a mysterious symbol on it. It’s a door I cannot open, hiding riches

10 games for all seasons

As the last days of September fade away you begin to feel the signs of the seasons changing. Leaves on every tree transform from a lush green into a beautiful array of oranges, yellows and reds as the cool autumn breeze sweeps away any staunch heat that the summer left
