Review by Matt S. Razer makes good keyboards. I already said as much when I reviewed the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate a few weeks ago. Razer, in fact, understands keyboards so well that it also understands that the maddeningly click noise that mechanical keyboards cause is the #1 cause of spousal…

Free-to-play/Gazillion Entertainment/Marvel/Marvel Heroes 2015/MMO/PC/PC Review/Reviews

Review by Nick H. The world of MMO gaming is an interesting one, because it is so incredibly fluid. Once upon a time you’d buy a game, put it in your console or PC drive and that was what you got. Then came patches and online communities where players could…

Review by Nick H. Dating all the way back to 1990, Final Fantasy III helped to take the storyline and character progression of the series further than ever before. I had always enjoyed the first two Final Fantasy games, but their stories were sparse, relying more on conversations with random…

News by Matt S. Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Tamara Schembri and Peter Budziszewski; an Aussie indie team with a love of the whole “games as art” deal. As you can probably guess, I immediately became a fan. Budziszewski is a veteran of the Australian games industry, having…

Opinion by Matt S. It wouldn’t be an E3 without controversy. This year that controversy is a statement that an Ubisoft spokesman made to the effect of “there are no playable female assassins in Assassin’s Creed: Unity’s multiplayer component because animating women is too much work.” I actually wasn’t going…

Review by Matt S. Fantasy Grounds isn’t a game in and of itself. But it’s almost certainly going to end up being my most valued piece of Steam software. For Fantasy Grounds is a bit of software that allows you to play pen-and-paper (PnP) RPGs with family and friends from…
