Annie and the AI – Game Review
I was given the privilege of playing Annie and the AI, by NoSleepGames, when codes were offered to streamers and content creators. It’s sort of a visual novel combined with a puzzle game. You play as Esme, an AI being developed by Annie (voiced by the talented Katy Bentz). As you complete various puzzles, you…

Sea of Stars Demo
During the recent Steam Next Fest, there was a demo released for Sea of Stars. It’s a retro-inspired turn-based RPG, and I had a heck of a lot of fun playing it. So what does “retro-inspired” mean? Basically, Sea of Stars looks like it would fit right in alongside Legend of Zelda: A Link to…

Marvel’s Avengers – Missed Opportunities
I’m enjoying Marvel’s Avengers. It’s not a bad game. It’s decent. Everything about it is decent. Decent animations, skins, story, and so on. What’s weird and off-putting is wrapping all of that around a live-service engine.

RIP Marvel Heroes
It’s funny, I am both sad that Marvel Heroes Omega is gone, and completely unsurprised by it. MH has long been my most played game on Steam, and thoroughly scratched my Diablo itch by providing fun Action RPG gameplay in a non-obnoxious free to play model. The writing was on the wall when David Brevik…

Game Thoughts – No Man’s Sky
I’m not calling this a review as I’m not that far in, but I already have a lot of complicated thoughts about No Man’s Sky.  Here they are in no particular order: Is it any good?  I don’t…know?  Seriously, I can see how some people can tune into it – there is something zen about scooting around…

Game Review – LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
I played a demo of the very first LEGO game, LEGO Star Wars, it seems like forever ago. Â Since 2005, Traveller’s Tales has created similar games in numerous licensed worlds (DC comics, Indiana Jones, and Harry Potter among them), but the latest game, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, is definitely the pinnacle of the series. Â Though…

Vintage Gaming – Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
First person shooters were huge for me when I was younger, despite the fact I wasn’t very good at them. That meant FPS’s that still had a single player story were much loved and more likely to be bought. Jedi Outcast was the second ‘Jedi Knight’ game but the third game starring Kyle Katarn, one…

Get to know an MMO – Star Wars: The Old Republic
A continuing series where I look at current MMO games from a Free to Play perspective (as I’m too much of a cheapskate to pay for a monthly fee unless the game is REALLY good). I wanted to try this as soon as I’d heard of it – a new Star Wars game from Bioware? Great! …

Game Review – Tomb Raider
I played bits and pieces of the early Tomb Raider games, but was never a fan of them. I didn’t seek them out. But I kept hearing how good this new one was, at least before everyone moved on to Bioshock: Infinite, and when I saw a good deal, I jumped in and bought it. …

SimCity – My Impressions
If you are reading this, you probably know all the debates on the new SimCity, about always-on (and whether it’s needed), how scummy EA is, the stupid decisions leading up to the release of the game, and so on. I’ll be touching on all of that, as well as the actual gameplay. First, Origin. I…

Game Review – Dishonored
I’ve been playing Dishonored off and on for a while now, and it’s got a lot going for it. The world is a sort of Steampunk+Magic mix that’s right in my wheelhouse. I’m fairly in practice with stealthy fighting techniques thanks to making it most of the way through Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Dishonored has…

Dragon Age III: Inquisition Is Announced
Bioware announced the title for the upcoming Dragon Age game, and it’s Dragon Age III: Inquisition. Further press releases and statements place the game as a late 2013 release, which seems like a long time when they’ve already been working on the game for two years…but we remember the things we didn’t like about Dragon…
