Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review

Platforms: PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 (reviewed) Blood Dragon is quite the sales pitch for Far Cry 3. While the first two Far Cry games didn’t do much that I felt like latching onto them, I never even gave the third entry a try. After putting in six or eight hours into Blood Dragon, I […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out

I’ve been a fan of video game soundtracks since I first heard Koji Kondo’s handling of the original The Legend of Zelda. Hearing the music from that game, like so many other people my age, takes me back to a simpler time in my life and reminds me of the passion that I had, and […]

Fortune Favors the Bold and Death Favors the Dumb

26 June 2015 – Guadalajara, Mexico I sent my team to stop alien abductions in a city I can barely pronounce. Fairly straightforward operation – touch down, wipe out the aliens, head back to base.

Die, Ashely, Die

[Editor’s note: This article is very spoiler heavy. If you haven’t played the first and, to a lesser extent, the second Mass Effect and have been avoiding any plot reveals about the third and wish to not know how things pan out, I would recommend not reading this.] I’ve played through the original Mass Effect […]

How Precious Is Life? Dark Souls Doesn’t Care.

Platforms: Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 (playing) My video game time is something I treasure. As an adult with a wife and a small child, a full time job, and a career change on the horizon, those moments when I actually get to sit down with a controller (or portable system) in hand and enjoy […]
