All reviewsWolfenstein: The New Order2014
5 out of 5 starsThe Wolfenstein series has gone through a weird trajectory over it's lifetime. Despite existing in it's known form as the premier first-person shooter franchise for 22 years, it's only just now getting its fourth proper entry. Coming cold off the heels of Raven's 2009 Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein: The New Order marks not only MachineGames' debut title as a collective, but quickest sequel the series has ever gotten.…
Strider2014
5 out of 5 starsThe general nature of classic franchise reboots is dubious at best, or a total disaster at worst. There's a wrong way to do them, and there's the right-and some might say safer-way. Luckily Double Helix's take on Strider falls well into the latter camp. The blazing-fast action of the originals made it an enticing candidate, one that happened to translate pretty well into a modern game. New ground isn't tread in the…
Knack2013
2 out of 5 starsIt's unfortunate that the 3D-platforming genre has fallen by the wayside over the last generation. Obviously Nintendo has been going strong in that department, and every now and then a new Ratchet and Clank game drops, but the last 8 years weren't as welcoming to new additions as the PS2/Gamecube era. But now we have Knack, joining the great pantheon of console launch platformers by being the PS4's premiere…
Metro: Last Light2013
4 out of 5 starsDespite its numerous flaws and shortcomings, Metro 2033 is a game that resonated deeply with me. Its rich atmosphere and convincing, lived-in environment pulled me into the experience like nothing else has. The tunnels teeming with giant mutated rats, the cobbled together equipment, and the air of a community stricken by hopelessness lent it a real identity few games manage to fully grasp. Metro: Last Light manages…

All articlesMetal Year: Solid 2017 - My Favorite Rock and Metal Albums of the Year
Dec 27, 2017
2017 has come and gone... ...another year chock full of heavy metal, rock n' roll, and mosh pit-induced concussions. So let's celebrate and lament a ton of it by going through my favorite records and biggest disappointments of the year! Hail Satan and such. This year was a weird one for me. Many of my most anticipated releases turned out to be duds, or at least disappointing enough to make way...
Hardcore Henry: Even more of a video game than you think
Apr 11, 2016
Video game movies are a hell of a thing, and admittedly, being the "best" among them isn't exactly a tall order. Films based on actual game franchises have a traditionally disastrous track record. At best, they stick somewhat close to the source material and can be fun without being great; Silent Hill is usually the first to come to mind for me. At worst, they completely misinterpret the spirit...
The 10 Best Ways I Wasted My Life in 2015
Jan 2, 2016
Phew...another year in the can. And what a year it was! Gaming kicked ass in 2015, you guys. We finally saw the new consoles come into their own. Big AAA games were bigger and AAA-er than ever before, and indie games took their rightfully prominent place right alongside them. I don't do much PC gaming, and the only current console I have is a PS4, so my experience is fairly limited, but the fac...
Operation: Watch All the James Bonds: Episode 5: On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Sep 11, 2015
As much as I have truly enjoyed the first five of the James Bond flicks, I’m very ready to start treading some new territory. As a newcomer to the early installments of the franchise, Sean Connery made a lasting impression on me, as he fully embodied everything I came to understand of both the character and the series. He was suave, handsome, bad ass, a womanizing rapist pig, and undeniably coo...
Operation: Watch All the James Bonds: Episode 4: YOLT
Aug 24, 2015
Episode 1: Dr. No and From Russia With Love Episode 2: Goldfinger Episode 3: Thunderball So it's come to You Only Live Twice, Connery’s last in his original run of Bond pictures, and another movie I had no expectations for, except for that it's one of the more divisive in the franchise It seems to be either near the bottom or the top for a lot of folks. And the reasons they don’t like it sounde...
Operation: Watch All the James Bonds: Episode 3: Thunderball
Aug 15, 2015
Episode 1: Dr. No and From Russia With Love Episode 2: Goldfinger After the brilliant and cacophonous circus act that was Goldfinger, I was more than ready to charge head-first into more crazy Bond adventures. I really knew next to nothing about the next few films going in. Thunderball and You Only Live Twice are talked about relatively little compared to the first three. I suppose there’s a go...
