4 out of 5 starsI can’t think of a game that has ever delighted and frustrated me in equal measure the way Destiny has managed to. It’s a game rewards efficiently plotting a course through environments to acquire upgrade materials. It’s a game that makes you play the same missions over and over again to increase your reputation with its various factions. It’s a game that strings you along with random loot drops that could be…
Darksiders II2012
4 out of 5 starsWhat does a developer do to follow up a hit original game? Audiences generally want larger, more refined sequels and publishers are willing to back a studio’s sophomore outing with a sizable budget. Darksiders 2 follows the same path as Batman: Arkham City, offering a larger, longer game than its predecessor. For Vigil Games bigger doesn’t mean a poor experience but nor does it mean a better game. Taking place…

GOTY 2015: Some Games Great, Other Games Greater

When it came down to filling the very final slot it took me a long time to figure out what was going to make the cut. What I ended up with is a mix of sequels a...
Mourning a Man I Never Met
Jul 9, 2013
I never met Ryan Davis. With the exception of a week's vacation a decade ago I never even spent time in the state he called home. Yet when the news of his passing came across my Twitter feed yesterday it felt like the air went out of the room. I sat at my desk in absolute shock and felt like I had lost a friend. Via this weird, wonderful thing called GiantBomb I had been allowed glimpses of a f...
A Response to Dead Island Riptide's Zombie Bait Edition
Jan 16, 2013
Earlier today President Obama signed 23 executive orders in an effort to curb gun violence in the United States. The President has also stated that he will circumvent a 15 year-old ban on CDC-based research regarding gun violence. Whenever a tragedy like the shootings in Sandy Hook, CT occurs the debate regarding any possible link between video games and real life violence is reignited. The new...
