When I first got my PlayStation 3, I remember being so excited to actually be able to download demos, a concept that was previously regulated to the PC crowd.

Growing up I was mostly a console kid. Presently, I play a lot on PC, but when I was younger I used to prefer the out of the box ease of the console. There was, however, one game that finally got me to invest in a graphics card and figure out the whole computer business, […]

In Thomas Wilde’s review of the Callisto Protocol last December, he wrote that the game could have used more time in development to reach the full potential of what developer Striking Distance was going for.

While most mainstream, big-budget horror games seem to be more action-oriented, for better or worse, indie titles have been carrying the torch for more old-school survival horror philosophies.

There’s nothing quite as satisfying as being a big, badass space marine. The huge armor, the massive guns, it all makes for perfect video game material.

When I was in high school, one of my first jobs was working at a big chain video store. While it was fun to be around movies and movie fans all day, it did have all the pitfalls of any public facing customer service job. Weird customers, understaffing, and repetitive work were all par for […]

I’m a big RPG fan now, but that wasn’t always the case. Super Mario RPG introduced me to the genre, but, like many people my age, Final Fantasy VII was the one that wowed me the most. After Final Fantasy VII, I was hungry for more, and Square’s next RPG was one that was surprisingly […]
