  • Sunset

    —

    ,

    Even though I was very much interested in playing this game, I hadn’t picked it up upon release, mostly because I don’t really play games on my Mac much (I’m truly a console/portables/iPad gamer). But seeing this announcement from Tale of Tales today, about the poor sales of Sunset and how it has made them…

  • Rayman Legends

    —

    ,

    Another game I’m buying for the second time thanks to that PSN E3 sale is Rayman Legends on PS4 (I had previously bought it for Vita). I absolutely loved this game on Vita (and loved Rayman Origins too) and so I figured that at the price they had it for ($16), it was worth revisiting…

  • Tomb Raider Definitive Edition

    —

    ,

    Another game I picked up in the PSN E3 sale is Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. I played through and loved this game when it came out on PS3 (although I did get annoyed at some of the overlong shooting sequences) and seeing the gameplay for the next one got me excited for the series again,…

  • Dragon Age: Inquisition

    —

    ,

    I bought a few games through the PSN E3 sale, including Dragon Age: Inquisition, which I’ve been patiently waiting to play. I’m a big fan of the series, having played through the first two and enjoying both (yes, even the second one, despite its many flaws), and so far (4-6 hours in) this entry is…

  • Sense8

    —

    ,

    Another series I’ve been enjoying – and yup, it’s also in the sci-fi genre – is Sense8, the series that the Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski created for Netflix. I’ve still only had the chance to watch the first 2-3 episodes, but I’ve been enjoying it so far. The characters are all quite interesting, and I’m…

  • Wayward Pines

    —

    ,

    A series I can now say I am truly enjoying (we’re 5-6 episodes in now) is Wayward Pines. Interestingly, I wasn’t expecting it to be a sci-fi show, but that’s pretty much what we’ve got here, and the big reveal in the 4th or 5th episode really was cool, and not something I was expecting…

  • Dark Matter

    —

    ,

    Another new sci-fi series that just started is Dark Matter, and it’s apparently based on a comic series I haven’t read (from Dark Horse comics). Nice to get a new “ship in space” series, and although from the first episode alone I can’t yet say if it’ll be something I’ll really enjoy – the characters in…

  • Killjoys

    —

    ,

    Been a while since I’ve found a good sci-fi series to watch, and I continue to sample new things that come out. Latest of which is Killjoys, that just had its premiere, from the creators of Orphan Black. Only 1 episode so far, but I think it shows promise. It’s shot pretty stylishly, and the…
