Chasm PAX East Hands-On Preview
Back in the days of my youth, I would spend a lot of days on sites like Miniclip, Nitrome, or OneMoreLevel. It was on those sites that I first encountered the pixel art style in gaming. Before that point, I had only come across them in arcades and other such establishments. And yet, I was hooked. I spent countless days fettering my summer afternoons in devotion to these pixel arcade games.

Most of them had new titles of their popular IPs, but THQ Nordic had something entirely new at their booth, Biomutant. While I was scheduling my appointments for PAX this trailer came up in my email. . .
HyperX Cloud Alpha Headset PAX West Hands-On
I game and travel—A LOT. I also stream, host events, and (if I can’t sleep) game in bed. So, it’s important to me have a headset that is comfortable, reliable, and produces high quality sound so I can hear everything going on in my games. The HyperX Cloud Alpha Pro Gaming Headset was released at the end of September, but before it was, I got a hands-on—or rather, head-on—preview of it. I can tell ...[Read More]
Monster Hunter World – PAX West 2017 Hands On
For the past few years, Monster Hunter fans have mostly had to make their hunts on the 3DS. They are amazing games and they really push the 3DS to create some of the best titles on the system. I doubt I’m alone in the desire for a new console release of this dinosaur toppling, dragon capturing, weapon crafting grindfest of a franchise. Then Monster Hunter World was announced and it looked like it ...[Read More]
Divinity: Original Sin II – PAX West 2017 Preview
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.

Epic story, adventure, and ...[Read More]
Becoming a Guardian Once More, Destiny 2 Early Impressions
First impressions are everything, especially in a huge RPG. So far I have sunk about 8 hours into Destiny 2 and in that time the game has made quite the impression. During the first several hours, Destiny 2 has managed to convince me that Bungie really did listen to their fans’ feedback. I couldn’t tell you any sort of narrative moment within the first Destiny, and quite honestly I pre...[Read More]

Earlier this week, the beta for the highly anticipated Destiny 2 was released.

E3 2017 – Seven: The Days Long Gone – Much More Than Meets The Eye
Seven: Days Long Gone was a bit of a surprise to me when I got the chance to see it back at E3. When I was told it was an isometric open world RPG, I was a slightly skeptical as isometric open world doesn’t seem ideal. Luckily, I was proven wrong once I got to see what exactly developers IMGN.PRO were actually trying to achieve. Now what I ended up seeing was still part of the pre-beta, so we stil...[Read More]
