    This game sure has lovely ‘splosions! Everyone has been raving about this being the best game from the PS4 launch lineup, and they’re certainly right that it’s a fantastic game – and the fact that it’s free if you’re a PS+ member is just nuts. I love shooters, and I’m doing OK at this, but…

    Putting aside the fact that the game looks absolutely amazing (on PS4), when I started playing I was having a hard time wrapping my head around the chaos I was encountering: I’m driving around, shit is happening all over, what do I do? But as I started getting a better feel for the UI and…

    This is absolutely the most fun I’ve had with an Assassin’s Creed game – and I’m quite a big fan of the series, having played through and finished all of them (except the first one, which I didn’t finish). It starts off like a regular AC game, but a few hours in, once you have…

    A sequel to this game recently came out, which reminded me that I had bought the first one, but hadn’t really gotten around to playing it much. I have now done just that, and wow, this game is really well done. Yes, it’s based on the old choose-your-own-adventure books, but the presentation and interactive elements…

    Finally got around to playing the 400 Days DLC for The Walking Dead game (on iPad), and it’s definitely just as good as the rest of the game was. Really liked the fact that I was playing through all these tiny vignettes. Just makes me that much more excited to play the second season, that…

    Yes, like everyone else on this planet, I’m playing Grand Theft Auto V, and frankly, having an absolute blast. I could just drive around Los Santos for hours and hours and hours… (and yes, even cycling is super fun).

    I love this game so much. Sure, I was frustrated during the first weeks because of the issues with the servers, not being able to get on to play, but things are normal now, and it’s a joy to hop in and have some adventures in this world. I’m also lucky that I have a…

    Of all the video game genres, fighting is the one I tend to steer clear of, but I’m still fascinated by the culture that surrounds fighting games – EVO and the like – and this is a fantastic portrayal of the community that exists around the Street Fighter franchise (and fighting games in general). I…

    While everyone is playing Vanillaware’s latest, Dragon’s Crown, I’ve just hopped in Muramasa Rebirth on Vita (it’s currently on sale for about $20 on the PSN Store). This game looks absolutely gorgeous on the Vita screen, and I’m having a decent amount of fun with the hack-and-slash gameplay (admittedly not really my favorite kind of…

    I played a bunch of this game when it came out on iOS, and bought a few (pricey) packs for it, but when I saw the original 3DS version on sale on Play-Asia, I decided to pick it up, and I’m sure glad I did. The joy here is of course in playing a rhythm…
