I used to tell myself that sitting on the bench for a full basketball season wasn’t a big deal. After all, puberty was a confusing time and I knew I would come back the next season a lot taller and stronger once nature took its course. It turns out, of my second season in a [...]
I have a love/hate relationship with the roguelike genre and definitely have to be in the right state of mind to play one or else something might get broken. What does one do, however if the game they are about to play doesn’t necessarily state that it’s a roguelike but instead allows you to discover that little tidbit out [...]
There are few other games that spark such an intense burning argument of indifference than the Call of Duty franchise. Oddly enough, I have less difficulty explaining the things I like and dislike about Call of Duty with people who don’t play video games versus some who happen to love games. I find that sad.

One of our favorite anti-orc games in the world, Orcs Must Die! 2, releases its second booster pack today on Steam. We can’t stress enough how important it is to slay some orcs, and we can’t stress enough that there will be new ways and places to do it. The new “Family Ties” booster pack is the [...]

I’ve always been a fan of video games mainly due to them granting players the ability to interact with situations that are impossible to recreate in real life without the use of computer graphics. Apparently, our gaming roots aren’t as far fetched as I give them credit for Martin Raynsford is well on his way [...]
2012 will go down as the year of the loot. Basically every game released this year has it in one form or another and some games are built completely around attaining as many sparkly breastplates and Kevlar covered cod pieces as your inventory can handle. It’s materialism in digital form but the acquisition of aforementioned [...]
I want to start this review off with a wee bit of honesty; I did not plan on purchasing Torchlight II. Not only that, but I actually stated on a recent Cursed Checkpoint that after putting so much time into Diablo III, I didn’t really need any more clicking, dungeon crawling or loot hoarding.

TGS was strangely light on stories of interest last week or maybe I was just in shock from the industry losing two of my favorite leaders.
