While I missed out on traveling to Seattle for PAX West, I did get an awesome gesture by being given access to the King of Cards demo that was being played there. It’s the pleasure of the newest experiences in gaming from the comfort of my home!

It had this folk-lore feeling about it, featured some great music, and had an appealing rustic art style. I had to play it.
As stated in other reviews and articles I’ve written, I’m a big fan of the classic dungeon crawler RPGs. Games like Baldur’s Gate, Ice Wind Dale, Diablo, and plenty of others are just a few of my favorites. That feeling of running through adventures and stories; it genuinely feels like the developers had taken some of my favorite fantasy novels and brought them to life. Epic story, adventure, and ...[Read More]

Fans like myself have been aching to get an announcement on the new sequel, but Gearbox has stayed pretty quiet about it, with the exception of little hints here and there. I attended the PAX East Panel this past Ma...[Read More]
A couple years ago, I was working for Giga Geek Magazine as a volunteer writer, scraping together stories from anywhere I could get them. In those early days, as the site itself was still fairly new, there were just a few games that would even give me the time of day. Songbringer was one of those games. Songbringer is an action adventure game akin to the top-down Zelda titles, but with a randomize...[Read More]

Well, apparently we are getting a video game based on the Planet of the Apes series. Did anyone really ask for this? Not really, but after watching the trailer and a few minutes of gameplay, I can’t say I’m not a little excited. Lead actor Andy Serkis had let us know that there would be a video game tie-in before War for the Planet of the Apes came out. From what it looks like, this ga...[Read More]
