Out of all of the characters in classic literary fiction, it makes the most sense to create a Diablo-like action role-playing game based off of Abraham Van Helsing. Introduced in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Van Helsing is a monster-hunting professional that has many titles to his name. He also was not…
Read MoreCertain crossover games seem to come under fire for having decidedly random characters thrown into sometimes unfitting contexts. If you thought last year’s Pokémon X Nobunaga or the recent Project X Zone were strange, Telltale is looking to shock you again by cranking up the weirdness to unparalleled levels. If…
Read MoreAnd just like that that iPad has one of the greatest BioWare RPGs, and the greatest Star Wars game, ever developed. The port of Knights of the Old Republic to the iPad has lost nothing in translation. It has picked up no bugs along the way. This is the game…
