    This is the new free-to-play game that was released by Nintendo the other day for 3DS, and from what I’ve played so far – basically, going through the training missions – I must say this is pretty fun. The controls are neat and easy to understand, and I liked hunting other subs and ships. Online…

    Speaking of great digital card games, another one I’ve been playing of late is SolForge, available for both iPad and iPhone. I believe this game was Kickstarted a while back, and it’s free-to-play, meaning you start with a couple of theme decks to play with, and then can buy more decks, packs of cards, etc.…

    I wrote a post last year about how much I thought Hearthstone was a great digital card game, but I hadn’t really put that much time into it. I’d unlocked all of the classes, and then sort of drifted on to other things (there are just so many good card games coming out these days…

    Holy shit. This show is back, and it ain’t pulling any punches. I was very pleased to see how little time it took for me to remember why I enjoyed watching the first season so much. I’ve recently mentioned that I find Matthew McConaughey’s character in True Detective to be the most interesting one I’ve…

    So yes, just over a week ago, I finally got my hands on a Nintendo Wii U (and big thanks to my friend who made that possible). Despite the dismal news on the health of the console, I always knew I would eventually get one, and was just being patient, waiting for the games that…

    Outlast is the latest free PS4 download we get through PlayStation Plus, and I was quite looking forward to trying it out. The one thing that had me worried though was how long I’d last, considering I sometimes have a hard time playing game that stress me out (stuff like Condemned, Dead Space, etc.) So…

    After the all-too-short 24/7 series ended I was hoping we could get more, and this is pretty much what the 7-episode NHL Revealed series. It’s pretty much just as good as the HBO show, except that we don’t have the great Liev Schreiber narration. Oh, and I wish there was more Habs coverage.

    Speaking of digging games (see SteamWorld Dig), strangely enough I’ve been playing another one, and that’s Super Motherload on PS4 (it’s a cross-buy game with PS3, and I grabbed it on sale last week). It boasts 4-player multiplayer, which I haven’t tried yet, but even just playing alone is really fun. I quite like the…

    I just spent the weekend playing this, and wow, what fun. When it originally came out on 3DS last year, I remember a few friends praising it a lot, and so figured I would eventually get it. It’s a digging/mining game in which you try and uncover new areas, upgrading your robot with new gear…

  • Ender’s Game

    I wanted to watch this because the original Ender’s Game novel is one of my favorite sci-fi reads. If you already know how it ends, you do miss out on a lot, but I still found myself digging seeing the story visualized – and the visuals are definitely well done.
