Gravity Rush Review
Platform: Vita Jumping to avoid an untimely death at the bottom of pit with spikes. Jumping to avoid an enemy charging your way. Jumping to avoid plummeting to your death in a bottomless pit (which is probably the most horrendously boring way to go). Jumping has been a central game mechanic that games have been […]
Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalker 2013 Review
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (reviewed), iOS With Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013, Wizards of the Coast and Stainless Games seem to be looking to make the strategic, collectible card game as accessible as ever.

Dragon’s Dogma Review
Platforms: Xbox 360 (reviewed) and Playstation 3 “As the cyclops started up its relentless assault on my party, a rogue goblin struck a massive blow against my pawn that handled the healing duties for my party, knocking her off the fort and putting her too far out of reach for me to revive her.

Mass Effect 3 Review
Platforms: PC, Playstation 3, Wii U, and Xbox 360 (reviewed) I thought this might be the toughest review I’ve written, but little did I know that I would end up starting anew almost as many times writing this as I have started new playthroughs with Commander Shepard to see how things differ when making other […]
Binary Domain Review
Platforms: Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 (reviewed) “Where does the machine end and humanity begin?” This is the question posed to you by Sega on your journey through Binary Domain. You’ll find the answer to this in much less philosophical sense than the question poses itself as. The difference between the two is what you […]
Eight to Consider: Xbox 360
8-Star Trek Legacy I wish I knew what it was that drove me to play Star Trek Legacy in the first place. I’m not, by any stretch of the term, a Star Trek fan. Considering when I played, I was likely just looking for something to punch up my gamerscore. Legacy ended hooking far longer […]
That Time Dragon Quest VIII Brought Video Games Back To My Life
While I often give a sickening amount of love to The Legend of Zelda as my favorite game series and, more recently, gush about my love of Mass Effect despite the roleplaying portion of it having gone away, there is another series that only recently found its way into my heart. You see, a few […]
