Review: Mortal Kombat X
In Injustice: Gods Among Us, the long, convoluted, super-serious campaign story was a welcome change to the fighting game campaigns of old. The DC characters therein are complex and storied enough to warrant such thorough exposition. The same cannot be said for the Mortal Kombat canon.

Review: WWE: The Attitude Era

Review: Last Word
At first blush, the quaint little Flash JRPG-like Last Word appeared to be a love letter to witty banter, an homage to the type of conversations Jane Austen characters engage in, and that got me pretty excited. … read more
Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The fine folks over at CD Projekt RED claim that those who pick up The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt need not have played the previous two to enjoy the third installment, which is music to my ears, considering I’ve never even heard of the game up until four months ago. … read more

At this point, you’ve probably either enjoyed the From Software games or you think they’re too goddamn hard to bother with, but Bloodborne is the game that can bridge that gap. … read more
Review: Sony Waterproof Walkman Headphones

Review: Stealth INC. 2: A Game Of Clones
Playing through Stealth INC 2: A Game Of Clones, I’m instantly reminded of a similar game, Oddworld Abe’s Odyssey. Both are highly detailed sidescrollers featuring a weaponless main character trying his hardest to escape a foe who wishes to kill him, all while finding friends that look much like himself, and help him solve puzzles to aid in his escape. … read more
