The Devil is in the Details
I was recently looking for a new lock screen and background for my phone and decided I wanted to go with a Street Fighter theme. I typed in “Ken vs Ryu wallpaper” into Google, hit images, and scrolled through hundreds of images that came up. The one that ended up as my lock screen was […]
Die, Ashely, Die
[Editor’s note: This article is very spoiler heavy. If you haven’t played the first and, to a lesser extent, the second Mass Effect and have been avoiding any plot reveals about the third and wish to not know how things pan out, I would recommend not reading this.] I’ve played through the original Mass Effect […]
Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack Review
Platforms: PlayStation Vita (reviewed), Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 There’s nothing quite as satisfying as gobbling up an entire city consisting of skyscrapers, vehicles and even citizens.

Before this event you and a small group have volunteered […]
How Precious Is Life? Dark Souls Doesn’t Care.
Platforms: Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 (playing) My video game time is something I treasure. As an adult with a wife and a small child, a full time job, and a career change on the horizon, those moments when I actually get to sit down with a controller (or portable system) in hand and enjoy […]
The Binding of Isaac (+ Wrath of the Lamb DLC) Review
Platforms: Microsoft Windows (reviewed), OS X, Linux Before I get started, I feel I should mention that I reviewed The Binding of Isaac with the Wrath of the Lamb DLC installed.

Corpse Party Review
Platform: PSP Hey, who wants to play a horror game? On the PSP? With all the voice acting in Japanese? That has gameplay mechanics more in tune with an 8-bit era JRPG? If I haven’t lost you yet, Corpse Party’s slightly strange presentation might just surprise you with an experience that you might find hard […]
