Ocarina
Yes, ‘best game ever’ is one of the most controversial titles in gamedom. First and foremost, it’s horribly overused. Your little sister, for instance, may give that accolade to Camp Pink Unicorns Prancing About Simulator 2. It’s a matter of perspective.Well, rather, it’s a matter of knowing that best and favourite aren’t the same…

Thief
Thief (2014) is a stealth-based game and a revival of the original Thief series. Undoubtedly, stealth and action are the primary genres of this title; however there are also other elements present in the new Thief such as adventure and horror. More than random scares, Thief includes a full chapter dedicated to the horror…
PvP
The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) beta testing phase is over and Cyrodiil revealed to be exactly what I predicted last month - a lag feast of massive zerging. The promise of an epic PvP system based on choices and engaging experiences seems to be a mere utopia that is far from leaving the concept…
Watch Dogs
The new Watch Dogs release date has been settled for May 27th and Ubisoft has been unveiling some of the upcoming features of Watch Dogs Rumors and unaccredited information has become official statements and therefore an imminent reality. Hacking is surely the main attraction of Watch Dogs but in this upcoming version of…
Dark Souls II
The most admirable thing about the Souls series is that it isn't afraid to take risks. While most games hold the players hand and teach them absolutely everything, Souls lays out the bare foundation and sets you off on your journey. You are given naught but the basics and must learn the…
Books
In this instance, of course, we know exactly what happened. The Internet did. Still, the more decrepit gamers among us may get a tingle of memory-pleasure through their undercarriage at this brief retrospective.At one time in the gaming world, print media was king. If you wanted a preview of Mario’s latest upcoming escapades, or…
Beast
Our poor anonymous centurion friend. He was perfectly content being dead, moldering away and not bothering anyone. Out of nowhere, Zeus appears, all beardiness and thunderbolts-to-the-face fury, to resurrect him. Why? The god has a quest for us: to descend into the underworld and rescue his kidnapped daughter from the villainous Neff.Why one of…
Animations
I finally got the chance to try The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) and one of the first things I’ve noticed was the character animation weirdness. A MMO with gorgeous graphics and an innovative combat system featuring animations that don’t feel right - it doesn’t make much sense. So, I wondered why ESO’s character animations…
Wii
If you’ve been following this much ballyhooed brawler, you’ll know that it’s all getting a little mad around here. We haven’t been allowed to suckle at Sakurai’s sweet, sweet info-teats for very long, but certain snippets have been released. We’ve seen the yoga instructor from Wii Fit added to the roster, as well as…
Watch Dogs
Watch Dogs graphics have become a controversial topic since Ubisoft creative director, Jonathan Morin, revealed that the PC version will feature greater resolution effects than the PlayStation and Xbox versions. Now, it’s widely known that PC is generally superior and able to deliver better results than consoles. However, this kind of quality variances…
