I am extremely impressed with the physical aspects of the console for the most part. Nintendo often releases subpar versions of their consoles at first, especially the portable systems (looking at you GBA, DS, and NES Classic with your shitty cords). Not so here. The Switch feels great, and if you got it in grey like…

For a lot of gamers, the perfect video game world is probably big, colorful, and full of things to do. Things come to mind like Hyrule’s Castle Town or a hub city in an MMO. However, for me, my perfect video game level is a cramp, grey, and at times empty of things to do. My perfect video game world is the Normandy.
Assassin’s Creed’s meta-story is weird: players act out the memories of famous Assassins with a machine that extracts the memories from the DNA of the Assassins’ descendants. The (usual) point of this is to gain some advantage in the 2,000+ year war between the Assassins and Templars, or in baser terms freedom vs.…
I am currently reading through Vagabond, and I know it is a special series. I am not sure when it hit me, but by the time I put down the first Vizbig (three volume collections of the manga), I knew I had to order the second and the third. The book grabs you. Vagabond’s beautiful and detailed art invites you to linger…
Three years ago, my roommates and I chose to split an Xbox One. We had all switched from PS2 to the Xbox 360 the generation before. My roomies wanted to keep their gamerscores. For myself, my favorite series at the time was Assassin’s Creed, and Kingdom Hearts 3 and FFXV were coming to both consoles, so I didn’t feel…
Developed by Telltale, The Wolf Among Us plays like most of their recent games: it is a mix between a visual novel and adventure game with some quicktime events thrown in. The writing is strong and the presentation is great, although the game doesn’t run well. I am not here to review it, though, TAY already has a…
Like many children of the 90s I grew up during the eXtreme sports craze. Events like the X-Games and shows like Rocket Power captured my attention and made me yearn to skate, surf, and be as eXtreme as possible! During the day I was lucky enough to skate and surf til my legs felt like jello, but I wanted to keep…
The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone is the first of two expansion packs for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The developer, CD Projekt Red, has already released a lot of free DLC for the game and the main game is one of the longest and most satisfying RPGs of 2015. So with all the free DLC and a girthy main game, is Hearts of…
Welcome to part two of my journey through Kingdom Hearts II. If you missed part one check it out here
Assassin’s Creed is a series dear to me: as a history buff I love the settings and the way they allow me to play through historical events and as a gamer I love the bloody way they do it. The series is my Call of Duty or Madden, I buy and play it every year despite its flaws and enjoy it. In honor of the release of…
I never played Kingdom Hearts II when it was released almost ten years ago. At the time I was entering my teenage years and the whole concept of goofy JRPG characters saving the world(s) with Donald, Goofy, and Mickey seemed childish and uncool to me. I had played the first Kingdom Hearts, but I was a kid back then so…
