This week in review will be a quick and dirty one, just like you like it. I'll be taking a quick trip through INSIDE, Necropolis, and offering...

I was given the opportunity to check out the high flying, parkour antics in Welkin Road. Welkin Road is an upcoming Indie game from Gregor Panic that sends you sailing over platforms high in the sky as you try to make your way from point A to point B. Along the way you will have to traverse long distances by way of running, jumping, wall-running, grappling, and swinging. The game features two modes, one of which is a normal progression mode through the various levels. The other is a ...

A fun, colorful, and fresh take on twin-stick shooters and bullet hell bosses.
It needs to be said upfront that I'm not normally a big fan of the "bullet hell" style of games. Even back during the height of Geometry Wars' popularity, I only managed to earn just four achievements before I hit a brick wall and ultimately never touched the game again for the better part of a decade. It's not that I hate that particular genre of games, it's more so that they hate me and my poor reaction times....

Action Game: The Movie: The Game
Here’s a quick question for everyone: Have you ever watched the “Bad Motherfucker” music video? If not, you should probably take a moment to check that out.

Done? Great! Now, have you seen the trailer for the upcoming movie, Hardcore Henry?

Awesome. Now you have a bit of an idea of just what to expect with Superhot. Of course, Superhot’s visuals aren’t exactly the same as those two videos. We are instead treated to...

2015 is dead and over with. Hell, we're already a month deep into 2016 at this point. Even still, we have about 11 months of game releases to look forward to. What better time than right now to put up a quick entry about what games I'm looking forward to in 2016? These all aren't games that I'm like dying to play. These are a mix of games that I'm super excited to play and also some that I'm merely interested in seeing how they turn out for one reason or another. Just for the hell of...

Video Games are Dead – True but too dramatic
Gamers are Dead - Too 2014 Fuck Video Games – Hmm… LOL VIDEO GAMES – So close Video games in 2015 felt like a huge bag of mediocrity and disappointment, at least in my quiet opinion. Games that tacked on another entry in some of my favorite franchises under delivered on multiple fronts, while many new franchises just became instantly forgettable. In fact, I would be willing to go so far as to say that t...

Fresh, exciting, and fun but comes up just shy of greatness.
Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns delivers on being a solid expansion to the already enjoyable base Guild Wars 2 experience. If you already have a predisposition to disliking the MMO genre or Guild Wars 2, this expansion won’t suddenly turn you into a believer. What it will do is offer tons of content for one flat rate that fans of the game probably have no qualms about picking up immediately. If you haven’t played Guil...

I was recently given the opportunity to try out the closed alpha test for Black Desert Online as it begins to make its way to Western markets. The MMORPG is super popular throughout Korea, offering up some incredible looking visuals, in-depth character customization, and a unique combat system. I really wish I had more time to spend on the game than what I was able to. There seems to be a depth here that I only scratched the surface of. However, the below video should give the most ba...

Last night, I put together a short-ish overview video for using and setting up a Steam Controller. Please note that this is not a review. Official reviews are being kept until at least November 10 when the controller is officially released for everyone. The controller is still receiving regular updates from Valve. In fact, an update came out between when I recorded last night and when I finally got the video uploaded about an hour ago (as of the time of this posting). The video shows off b...

Recently, I was offered the opportunity to share my thoughts on the just released art book for the Assassin's Creed franchise, Assassin's Creed: The Complete Visual History. I am no stranger when it comes to sharing my wonderful opinions about an art book or two. It's never an easy task but 320 engaging pages later, I believe I am ready to share why I feel this book is the best product with "Assassin's Creed" in the name to come out in years. Initially, I believed that this book would ...
