Sir Galahad is my favorite Round Table knight. Beats Lancelot or Gawain by far. Galahad’s pure. He finds the Holy Grail. He gets raptured. Raptured! Most of all, the guy was a fighter and he did it all for good. So when a Sir Galahad is the protagonist of a video game, it piques my… Read More »
Hearing is scarier than seeing. The best horror flicks have the best sound design. The Shining, The Birds, Exorcist, Ju-On, et al. The Hum: Abductions is all about sound. The title says it all.

I’m a hacker, slasher, bludgener. Give me a claymore, a broadsword or better yet, a war hammer. Mixing potions and waving wands and squirting colorful streams of light? Not me.

Evolve’s Intro Cinematic is disappointing, but only because the game itself is sure to be a kick-butt monster-hunting whomp this year. That’s a good whomp. The kind of whomp that’ll make you salivating for DLCs. The game is 4 on 1 asymmetrical multiplayer. Four are hunters and one player is the monster. There are some… Read More »
Manga is huge in Japan. Like hundreds-of-millions-in-circulation huge. Nothing like comics in the United States. One Piece is HUGE. Japanese love One Piece. One Piece ain’t a dress. It’s some MacGuffin treasure everyone’s searching for. The main character, Luffy, is not only after the One Piece, but the kid wants to be the King of… Read More »
Life is Strange is like a choose-your-own-adventure book except it’s a video game. Remember those? You make one decision, see how it goes, and then go back several pages and make a different decision and see where that goes? That’s this game. The Reveal Trailer shows a teen named Max in a high school world… Read More »
A year ago I said that No Man’s Sky will be the addiction of 2015. After watching the new gameplay trailer, there’s no doubt. The PS4/Windows adventure from Hello Games will feature both single-player (including offline) and multiplayer modes.
