    WARNING: This review will wholeheartedly document the journey of a complete and utter noob. So the time has come… the next stage of BETA testing for The Elder Scrolls Online has gone public. I must admit, this was a game I’d not particularly reconnoitered with interest over the year – partly because MMO’s aren’t my...

    It can take just one little thing to ruin an otherwise good game. Imagine a first-person narrative puzzle/adventure game that allows players to explore a mysterious island off the coast of Ireland. A romantic, exotic, mysterious locale filled with authentic Irish flavour and a heaping dose of danger. Now image that the character exploring this...

    Monolith Games made some amazing first person shooters, including the horror/shooter hybrid F.E.A.R. And the spy parody No One Lives Forever. A splinter group of designers has broken away from Lith to form their own studio, and their first game is a first person shooter with a bit of a twist; it’s set in the...

    The term “First Person Shooter” doesn’t truly sum up the Arma franchise. The Arma games are military sims that favor hyper-realism for players who want more than the “One man army” experience of most other shooters.  As in real war, there are no regenerating shields, guns aren’t magic wands that send bullets unerringly towards their...

In its mobile incarnation it’s a vertical platformer where players guide a cute critter upwards through a series of platforms while avoiding enemies and trying to not miss any jumps. As a “Autojumper” it would probably be...

    Tower Defense is among the most heavily-refined genres in gaming.  The concept ain’t broke, don’t need no fixin’ and players have fun with these games even though there has been little evolution since Tower Defense began as a Starcraft mod years ago.  But still, developers are always on the lookout for new ways to modify...

    The marketing term is “Trans media franchise”.  It means a project that appeals to consumers over a variety of mediums like movies, toys, video games and books.  Star Wars is the granddaddy of them all, quickly turning from an underdog film into a runaway toy line with novels, comic books, made for TV specials and...

    Dungeons & Dragons fans have an intense love for Neverwinter Nights, an amazing RPG series that dates back to the early 90’s, but was popularized by Bioware in 2002.  It captured the vast amount of choice that D&D offered to players when creating their characters, and let virtual dungeon masters make their own adventures and...
