All reviewsDuckTales: Remastered2013
3 out of 5 starsEver since Wayforward and Capcom announced they were bringing back DuckTales , a lot of people cried out "I love that game!" and "I used to play the hell out of that game!" I was one of them, having played the original game on my cousin's Nintendo all the time. Like most games from the 1990s, the premise was pretty straightforward: guide Scrooge McDuck through a series of levels to seek out fabled treasures.…

The Walking Dead2012
4 out of 5 starsTelltale's The Walking Dead was, without a doubt, one of the best narrative experiences in gaming. While the wait for season two has been arduous, the studio threw a fan community a bone with The Walking Dead: 400 Days , a short expansion that serves as a lead-in to the next season and introduces a whole new cast of characters. 400 Days differs from season one's format, delivering a series of short vignettes that…
Hotline Miami2012
5 out of 5 starsHow can a game so violent and so difficult be so incredibly good? Hotline Miami is an odd beast. A top down shooter with a plot that would make Suda51 smile, in a lot of ways the game presents itself as a love letter to 1980s action films as you guide a voiceless character through unimaginable series of slaughters against small armies of hitmen. There's very little in the way of narrative, as the main player…

All articlesHot damn, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Multiplayer) Is Really Fun
Jan 28, 2020
(Text originally from a video review I put together.) I never really gave Call of Duty it’s proper due. What was once a World War II shooter made by folks who worked on Steven Speilberg’s Medal of Honor series transformed into something gaudy, a rip-roaring, ‘Murica fueled romp into the Middle Eastern theater of armed conflict. Replacing the time honored righteous fight against the Nazis were s...
My review of Control!

I'm in love with Control
Sep 17, 2019
I'm putting the finishing touches on a video review I'm going to make for Control but I just have to put it out there. Holy cow, this game was outrageously fun. This is Remedy at their best and you can really see how much fun they had putting the game together, specifically the various memos and case studies regarding the Bureau's collection of altered items and objects of power. I haven't had...
Returning to SWTOR
Jan 12, 2014
Last month, I had the opportunity to take part in the early access for the new expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic . This would be the first time in over a year that I played the game, having sunk about 140 hours after it launched in December 2011 (plus a significant time spent during the beta and early access). I decided to play the game before I was scheduled to receive the expansion an...
Michael and Masculinity in GTA V
Sep 20, 2013
I'm knee deep in Grand Theft Auto V right now and I find it difficult to wait until I finish the story before getting some thoughts down. I spend some of this write up talking about gender issues in GTA and I do so not to fan any flames (other people can do that). And I apologize in advance if I missed any important and/or meaningful details. Be warned that there are some early game story spoil...
Knee-jerk Reaction: Deadpool
Sep 9, 2013
I received a copy of Deadpool from Gamefly last week and I spent the better part of last night playing through it. This isn't a formal review, since I haven't finished it, but more of an opportunity to get my thoughts down in blog form. Comedy = Tragedy + Timing Deadpool has a number of things going for and against it. Before getting into the critical aspect of this discussion, I want to point...
