Tales From The Borderlands: Episode 4: Escape Plan Bravo packs a great deal of humour into a single episode, but also manages several touching moments with characters while keeping the plot rolling. The best episode in what is shaping up to be the most balanced Telltale Games effort yet delivers…
Read MoreWhile the strategy genre is not for everyone, those who enjoy delving into meaty campaigns, playing with lots of options and sinking in hundreds of hours into an expertly paced historical game should come away incredibly pleased with what Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence has to offer. While this type…
Read MoreIf the skateboarding games I’ve played throughout the past two decades are to believed, I am nothing less than a legend. I’ve skated next to the greats, I’ve mastered a long list of moves including everything from ollies and nollies to 360 inward heelflips and nollie FS 360 shuv its.…
