Halo: The Poster Collection Review

When non-gamers want to point to a symbol of videogames, it’s typically either World of Warcraft, or more commonly, Halo that comes to mind.  Bungie’s title helped to shape modern shooters forever, introducing the world to concepts that persist today. “Combat Evolved” indeed.  The team at Insight Editions

The Art of Total War review

Total War Attila was just released (February 17th, 2015), but it is hardly Creative Assembly’s first march into battle.  The team has been honing their battlecraft since the first title’s release in June of 2000.  Shogun: Total War was a rousing success, leading the team to create ten

Blackbeard the Lost Journal – a semi-fictional trip into the world of Edward Teach

We are rapidly approaching the launch of the next chapter in the Assassin’s Creed series; furling our sails to make landfall in Revolutionary France. But Ubisoft isn’t quite done with their time on the high seas, dropping in Assassin’s Creed Rogue this year for good measure.  While

Art of Watch Dogs book – an incomplete look behind the curtain

If you read my review of Watch Dogs you know that I enjoyed the hacking culture of the game quite a bit. It, like other Titan Books productions, is a collection of some of the incredible artwork behind the top games coming out of the industry. Penned by Andy McVittie
