    The first episode of Season 2 has just come out – thankfully on iOS at the same as all the other platforms this time – and I just played through it in one sitting (as you should). Wow. Just as good as the first season, and it already made me feel extreme sadness (the dog…

    That was fast. Somehow we’ve already reached the end of 2013, and it’s almost come as a surprise. I’m tired as all hell, so that’s a sure sign that something is coming to an end, but still, feels like the months flew by. Wasn’t it just yesterday I was complaining about the summer heat? And…

    It’s taken me a long time to really get into this show, but man, it certainly has me now. I watched the first season after it first aired, and although by the end of it I was enjoying the overarching storyline, I stopped watching when season 2 started as it was back to monster-of-the-week episodes.…

    I have a love-hate relationship with The Walking Dead TV series. At times I like it, at times I think it’s boring as shit. But I keep coming back – probably due to my continued love of the comics and the Telltale game – and in the end I’m glad I do. This past weekend…

    I wasn’t particularly interested in checking out this show when it first started, thinking it was just cheesy, but a friend of mine kept saying how good it was, and so I finally decided to dig into the first season, and I must say, I’m having a lot of fun watching it so far. I’m…

    I’d of course been wanting to play this along with everyone else, but hey, better late than never (and thank you Play-Asia for the great sales price). I’m about 5 hours in and it’s definitely as good as everyone has been saying. The outdoor environments are fantastic – despite the death and decay, the lush…

    Over the weekend I recorded two new episodes of my music podcast, Codex — that would be episode 68 and episode 69 — as I try to get a few more episodes in before the end of the year. Also, if you’re looking for some good Christmas music, I won’t be doing a new Christmas…

    I downloaded the Vita version of this recently as it was free for PS+ members (and I think it still is). I love the Oddworld games, but had never played this one because the Xbox is the only modern console I never owned. It’s certainly quite different from the platform puzzling you usually get in…

    I started playing this earlier in the week – I recently grabbed it at the crazy sales price of $10 on the PSN Store – and boy am I loving it. I do still enjoy getting into a good JRPG every once in a while, and this feels like it’s going to scratch that itch…

    I never thought I’d get into this damn beta, but lo and behold, early last week I received my beta key, and so was able to give it a try. I was really excited to play this, and have to say that they’ve done a really fantastic job of creating a card game for the…
