    I wrote about my experience with the Battleborn beta the other day, but I hadn’t yet experienced playing online with others in a co-op story mission, which is what I did today. This is where the game really shines (at least for me), and I found myself having a blast playing with strangers through this…

  • Overwatch (Open Beta)

    So I got to try out the open beta for Overwatch today – a game I kept getting confused with Battleborn, and vice versa – and let me tell you, it doesn’t take long before you feel just how slick and polished this thing is, in the way Blizzard is just so damn good at…

  • Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India

    A few months ago I wrote about getting the first Assassin’s Creed Chronicles game, China, and although I was quite enjoying the start, I got a bit sidetracked at the time and forgot to get back to it. This past weekend I finally remembered to get back to it, and found myself playing through the…

  • Ajin (Anime)

    I recently wrote about really getting into the Ajin manga, and now that I’m all caught up we get an anime series that debuted today on Netflix (although it originally aired in Japan at the start of the year). I’ve watched the first two episodes, and I’m really digging it, but that’s maybe because I…

  • Battleborn (Beta)

    I wasn’t really paying that much attention to this game, but there’s an open beta happening for it this weekend, and so I decided to give it a try. The first thing that surprised me when I started playing it was that it’s a first-person shooter – see, told ya I wasn’t really paying attention…

  • World of Tanks

    As you may have noticed, I tend to play a lot of games instead of just spending a lot of time on one, and I’ve pretty much always been that way –I want to experience as much variety as I can, which is to the detriment of ever doing a big deep dive in a…

  • Day of the Tentacle Remastered

    This is one of those classic games that I absolutely adored when I played it back in the day, and playing the new Remastered edition is my first revisit since then (they’ve already announced a remaster of Full Throttle, which is another classic LucasArts adventure game I love, but that one I re-played a few…

  • Shutshimi

    Another game from this month’s PlayStation Plus lineup that I was quite looking forward to playing is Shutshimi – like I said, I really like 2D shooters. I’ve just played a bit of it, and right now I’m not sure if I’m missing something, but I’m a bit underwhelmed. It’s a neat idea, to play…

  • Dead Star

    This is one of the offerings from this month’s PlayStation Plus lineup, and one that I was quite looking forward to playing, as its the first original IP from Armature (born out of a few developers who worked on Metroid Prime leaving Retro Studios). After reading about it, I figured it would be right up…

  • Koe no Katachi

    After devouring the Ajin manga (I’m all caught up and waiting for new chapters), I’m now on to something completely different, and that I wouldn’t have thought I’d enjoy reading (it was recommended by the same friend who suggested I check out Ajin). Koe no Katachi (A Silent Voice, in English) is basically a junior high romance,…
