It’s that time again! The long work week has finally come to a close and the weekend has arrived, which can only mean one thing – chat time! This week, let’s take on a topic that’s been the centre of numerous heated debates over the past few months, “next gen.” Wii U is…
Read MoreAt risk of kicking off a full-scale war that will melt the Internet and destroy humanity as we know it, we’re going to do the console wars this week (but seriously, no fanboy flaming, please). Of all the current-generation game platforms out there, which is your personal preference for gaming,…
Read MorePeople often say that the only thing they care about in a game is the “gameplay,” so it’s just as well the soundtrack is part of this “gameplay” thing, because it’s crucial to the gameplay. A good soundtrack elevates a good game into a great one, bringing emotional depth and…
