Review by Matt S. It’s truly impressive that Blizzard has been able to find yet another way to release Diablo 3. Following the PC launch of the game way back in 2012, we’ve already had one release of it on PlayStation 3, and now it’s been re-released, and simultaneously made…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. If you’re an old dude like me (well, I feel old these days, okay?) then you’ll remember SSI. This legendary developer was the company that made the Dungeons & Dragons games back before even Bioware. From Wake of the Ravager to Eye of the Beholder, Menzoberranzan,…
Read MorePreview by Rob P. I shot a goat today. One minute it was happily munching on some irradiated, post-nuclear scrubland. Then I stole its water bowl, and it attacked me. So I shot it. Bam! No more goat. It’s hardly the worst of videogame crimes, but it continues to gnaw…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Abyss Odyssey poses something of a challenge when it comes to critiquing it. On the one hand it is undeniably a flawed game; a victim of an indie development budget and the lack of development heritage and experience in South America. See, in places like the…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Dungeons & Dragons will forever be respected as the grandfather of pen-and-paper RPGs. Heck, it’ll be remembered as the creator of the RPG genre in its entirety. Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy would never have happened were it not for Dungeons & Dragons. Every RPG you…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Child of Light blew us away when it was released on the various home consoles not long ago.
