4 out of 5 starsSurprise you're underwater! Amnesia: The Dark Descent was a scary game. It is a great example of how the unknown is far scarier than the known, a prime example being the invisible monster that you can only keep track of by seeing the splashes it made in the water. That section of Amnesia is probably the most intense and downright scary section in any game I've ever played, mostly because you could not see the…
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm2013
5 out of 5 starsAfter nearly a three year wait, the first expansion to Starcraft II has arrived and brought a plethora of welcome changes to the game. The expansion itself provides a new twenty mission campaign as well as new maps, units, and balance changes to the multiplayer. The expansion also launched Blizzard's all new UI for Heart of the Swarm as well as Wings of Liberty, which includes groups, clans, the ability to watch…
Hitman: Absolution2012
4 out of 5 starsThe Hitman series has always been about patience, exploration and execution of the perfect assassination, and Absolution brings that same unique stealth style back. The classic trial and error gameplay allows you to plan out your attack until you create your own perfect execution, whether it be by "accident" or by a straight up neck snapping. While silently assassinating your target has never been as fun, some poor…
Dishonored2012
5 out of 5 starsVery few games have ever made me immediately hit new game right after finishing them, or have even given me the desire to replay them at all. Dishonored however is one of those rare games where as soon as the credits finished rolling I wanted to jump back in and see more. Whether you choose to murder everyone in your path or sneak from roof top to roof top, Dishonored provides plenty of player creativity and…

Jan 14, 2019
2018 was an interesting year for games as always. There weren’t as many big releases this year, but the ones that did come out were probably some of the most highly anticipated games of recent years. Red Dead Redemption 2, maybe the most anticipated game since Red Dead Redemption 1 was released all the way back in 2010 (the fact that RDR 1 is 8 years old is baffling to me), finally made its way...

How did DOOM do it? My Thoughts on How an Old School Game Made the Best Shooter Campaign in Years
Jun 12, 2016
I never played the original DOOM games. I was a bit young for them at the time and had little to no understanding of what DOOM actually was. I heard snippets of stories from kids in my class who had older siblings or parents who had the game, from which I gathered that you shot monsters and that was pretty much it. I saw DOOM 64 at the rental stores multiple times, but I was much more too into...

Progression and Efficiency vs. Fun
Dec 1, 2015
I began writing this blog as a post to Austin's most recent Off the Clock. In his article, Austin wrote "But in Fallout 4, spending a resource often means a decrease in efficiency. I lose screws and steel and copper so that I can have a row of lights welcome me home when I return from the wastelands. The lights don’t do anything except trigger a small bolt of electricity in my brain that makes...
