There are a ridiculous number of things to see and do in Fallout 4, and while the game doesn’t represent the same leap forward that two to three was for the series, the adventure is still absolutely worth your while. Dozens of hours can easily be lost in exploration as…

Approximately one hour into the game, after Hamilton’s demented mother started acting creepier than usual, I fearing for my sanity, quit the game and returned to my desktop to stare at the soothing space field that I have set as my wallpaper. However, I got distracted by an out of…

This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Almost everyone who has played Life Is Strange has fallen in love with it. The gameplay was great and the story was absolutely phenomenal. The characters were relatable and loveable, yet flawed. And the decision that needed to…

Telltale Games is very sneaky. A week after the launch of Minecraft: Story Mode’s first episode, it suddenly launches episode two with no warning. Not that I’m complaining, as I enjoyed the first episode but felt it was more of a prologue than an entire episode, and all of a…
