Spring has sprung in North America, triumphantly signaling the return of America’s Pastime.  The smells of freshly cut grass and even fresher grilled brats, set against the combined cacophony of street vendors and bellowing umpires, can bring out the kid in all of us.  While many would prefer to...

Review: Warlock: Master of the Arcane (PC)

Say what you will about empire-building, 4X style strategy games, but if there is one genre that will get me to turn my PC on in a heartbeat, it’s these. I even went out and got a new computer just to play Civilization V. Games like Sins of the Solar Empire always had me sitting there on my computer for...

Microsoft’s Ulterior Motive

Microsoft’s Ulterior Motive

Microsoft and Apple have been at war for control of the living room for most of the past decade. In fact, the entire motive behind the Xbox in the first place was to create a trojan horse that would allow Microsoft a place in every American living room.

Review: The Walking Dead: Episode 1 (XBLA)

While zombie fever has died down somewhat (no pun intended), “ghoul”-sanity still lives on in the hearts of fans of The Walking Dead franchise.  Both the graphic novels and television show have spawned a love of the doomsday scenario in both young and old.  So it is no surprise that Robert Kirkman and...

Review: The Walking Dead: Episode 1 (PC)

The Walking Dead: Episode 1 is the perfect game for fans of The Walking Dead franchise. In other words, this isn’t another game where you run around and shoot zombies with a near endless supply of weaponry. This experience is more about interacting with other characters, building relationships with...

Review: Star Drone Extreme (Vita)

What happens when you fuse the fling-happy gameplay of Angry Birds with the random and chaotic physics based gameplay of pinball, while tossing the whole thing into space? Well, you get Star Drone Extreme. The game has some things holding it back however. We’ll get to the heavy stuff near the...

Review: Naval War: Arctic Circle(PC)

War games have always been fascinating to me. I’m not talking the action packed Call of Duties or the bloody and gruesome Gears of Wars either.  I’m talking your down-right strategy games; games that require a great deal of patience, skill and thinking to them. Sure, you have to have brains and be...
