Podcasts
I don't know about you, but I feel like the invention of podcasts might be one of the best to come out of the entertainment industry within the last decade or so. I listen to them while I work, while I'm driving, or just when I'm relaxing while I play video games. With the…

In this age, everything is either rebooted or sequelized to death until they stop making money, and no one knows that better than our favorite blue hedgehog. For what is now 24 years, Sonic has been speeding through the video game world and largely disappointing people since around 2003. With declining sales and a misguided…
In the last few days, one of the biggest stories in gaming has been the disastrous tale of the PC launch of Arkham Knight. The game launched with a whole cavalcade of problems: locked-in 30 fps frame rate, textures with loading times, missing effects, a lack of anti-aliasing, and worst of all; graphical stutters and…
Splatoon
I’ve owned Team Fortress 2 since 2008. It was the very first PC game I ever bought and was recommended to me by one of my best friends. It also happens to be the game that introduced me to every other mod brought to life by Valve who have continued to update the game…
Legend of Korra
Back in October, Platinum Games released a game based off the animated series Legend of Korra, and it got mostly panned by critics and the fan response was tepid. The game had a lot of good ideas in it, and the mechanics within it were actually pretty fun. All of the different…

Back in January of this year I decided to splurge a bit and pre-order the limited edition Majora's Mask New 3DS XL. It came in the mail about a month later just in time for me to finish off my playthrough of Majora's Mask 3D on it, and it was a good time. What…
Fallout 4
I don’t think it would be hyperbole to suggest that Bethesda killed it at E3 this year – which, for their first year as an event headliner, is pretty remarkable. Out of all the megatons dropped this conference – the Last Guardian, Shenmue 3, and the FF7 remake – Fallout 4’s announcement was…
This past week at E3 Bethesda announced the next in their line of critically acclaimed role playing games – 'Fallout 4'.Assuming the mantle of a denizen of Vault 111, living all the way from your idyllic family life before the nuclear warheads ravaged the land to your re-emergence in the newly the shattered, fractured landscape…
Nintendo
If you ask anyone what they thought of this years E3, most will tell you that it was one of the better shows of late. Surprise announcements made about games long-thought forgotten, old favourites being lovingly remade and a general sense that over the next 18-24 months, gamers can expect to see some great…
Horror
If you are a survival horror fan of games such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill, etc, and you haven't checked out Outlast, well. You are in for a terrifying ride of your life.Many games with the horror element are not all that spooky. I find they commonly rely on gruesome scenes and jump scares…
