5 out of 5 starsGood works of fiction, no matter the medium, are the ones that can create an emotional response from a person. Fear, sadness, joy, anger, confusion, horror, anxiety, calmness, awe. Triumph . Even when video games were nothing more than a handful of pixels moving on a CRT television, the end goal for the designer was almost always to evoke a feeling of triumph in the player. From Pong to PUBG, we play games to…
Darksiders II2012
4 out of 5 starsThe original Darksiders truly was a surprise to many when it hit store shelves in January of 2010.

Sleeping Dogs2012

So all you L4D2 boycotters out there, feel free to begin eating crow, because in many…

The two games I've spent the most time with recently are CoD4 and Skate, so it's no surprise that Modern Warfare 2 and Skate 2 definitely top my list. Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, and the new Riddick game are up there as well, and I'm praying this is finally the year we get to see Splinter Cell: Conviction. Strangely, I'm really stoked for Uno Rush. Uno was always a big relax and unwind game for...
