    Elite: Dangerous

    If ever an experience that absolutely immersed you and made the hours melt away, it's this.

    Elite: Dangerous has been on my radar ever since its crowdfunding campaign in the days of yesteryear. After the blueballs of the PC release of Arkham Knight, I wasn't about to go for a third playthrough of Witcher 3, so... Read Full Review

    An absolute triumph for the series, the genre, and the medium, held back by one infuriating character

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    An absolute triumph for the series, the genre, and the medium, held back by one infuriating character

    I've been a Witcher fan for many years. I've read many of the books, I've watched the atrocious Polish television series, and I've beaten the first two games more times than I can count. I frequently speedrun Witcher ... Read Full Review

    A sincere and sometimes profound experience that never ceases to amaze

    Dragon Age: Inquisition

    A sincere and sometimes profound experience that never ceases to amaze

    Dragon Age has been a bizarre series for me. I consider myself a pretty big fan of the series, as I have always loved BioWare and anything springing forth from the studio tends to score highly with me. Dragon Age Origi... Read Full Review

    UPDATED: A superb celebration of the core Assassin's Creed experience, but not a revolution

    Assassin's Creed Unity

    UPDATED: A superb celebration of the core Assassin's Creed experience, but not a revolution

    The Assassin's Creed series is one that has had a special place in my heart for close to a decade now. It was the first game I played last generation, and I have bought every installment on launch day since. It's been ... Read Full Review

    Evil did not survive

    The Evil Within

    Evil did not survive

    I have been a huge Shinji Mikami fan since I was in middle school. I played the first Resident Evil game shortly after it came out when I was in sixth grade, and it left a lasting impression. The atmosphere and mood wa... Read Full Review

    An unfortunate example of how the hype machine creates unrealistic expectations

    Watch Dogs

    An unfortunate example of how the hype machine creates unrealistic expectations

    At the outset I want to say that I most certainly enjoyed my time with Watch_Dogs. It's a unique game in a lot of ways, and the setting is extremely convincing; however, as a character drama and a functional interactive... Read Full Review

    Every bit the masterpiece of the first for those with the patience

    Dark Souls II (Collector's Edition)

    Every bit the masterpiece of the first for those with the patience

    From Software's Dark Souls was a game that taught players that there's a lesson behind every mistake, and that not everything worth knowing will be freely given. It challenged players to study their enemies, and to pay a... Read Full Review

    A lopsided package containing a remake of one of the greatest games of all time and a decent sequel

    The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

    A lopsided package containing a remake of one of the greatest games of all time and a decent sequel

    In the days of the original Xbox console, I remember when I first heard about The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. I didn't know anything about the Riddick mythos, but I had a passing interest in Vin Dies... Read Full Review

    The most exciting multiplayer in years, but the story goes far beyond "missed opportunity"

    Titanfall

    The most exciting multiplayer in years, but the story goes far beyond "missed opportunity"

    Once upon a time at the end of last year, I worked for Microsoft and got myself an Xbox One. I enjoy the console's entertainment features and the way it plays nice with my Windows Phone and Windows 8 devices. The games o... Read Full Review

    A funny romp that will leave you in stitches, but it's a far too easy ride coasting on poop jokes

    South Park: The Stick of Truth

    A funny romp that will leave you in stitches, but it's a far too easy ride coasting on poop jokes

    I'm a huge fan of South Park. I almost instinctively put a random episode on every time I do my laundry. I know most of the in-jokes and running gags throughout the series, and the show still makes me laugh even when I... Read Full Review

    A solid re-imagining that aims high, but falls just short of stealing the show

    Thief

    A solid re-imagining that aims high, but falls just short of stealing the show

    I remember back in the 90's when I was at Electronics Boutique and saw that triangle-shaped box on the shelf. "Thief: The Dark Project" the box said in a bizarre scrawl across the front, with a stylistic depiction of a... Read Full Review
