Torchlight
July 2022 PS+ & GWG Offers
Summer has officially started and the first week of summer has been a hot one. Not just physically hot but politically hot as well. Over the last month, just in the USA alone, many things that were once protected have become uncertain. On top of that, the US is seeing record numbers in gas prices and inflation; however, the US government has found a hotter topic to stir up controversy, Roe V Wade....[Read More]
Torchlight II (Switch) Review
Being a big fan of dungeon crawlers and spending countless hours playing through the Diablo games, 2012 was a pretty exciting year for the genre! Diablo III definitely was the heavy hitter but it ended up having a lackluster launch with its controversial auction house and underwhelming loot system. In comes Torchlight II only a few months later boasting pets, maps filled with enemies, a wide varie...[Read More]

Runic Games Shuts Down, Releases Statement
After releasing three successful games, the studio that most recently brought us Hob is shutting its doors. This makes the second gaming studio to close its doors recently, as Visceral Games was also recently closed by EA. What was left behind though was not only a handful of amazing games that will live on in gaming history, but a bond was formed between those people. Runic Games called it a fami...[Read More]

Review: Crimson Alliance (XBLA)
Certain Affinity’s Crimson Alliance certainly attracts captivated audiences contentedly attacking creatures amok. By which I mean, it’s good. If you purchased or otherwise received all five of this year’s Summer of Arcade titles, you should know what Crimson Alliance is, as it was the free reward. If you did not, then this is your introduction: Crimson Alliance is a hack-and-slas...[Read More]
Certain Affinity’s Crimson Alliance Causes Anticipation
When did I first hear about Certain Affinity’s upcoming XBLA action-RPG Crimson Alliance? Honestly, it was when Summer of Arcade announced it as the free gift for anyone who purchased all five Summer of Arcade titles (one of which happens to be a Kinect-only title, which is causing a bit of a ruckus in the sans-Kinect demographic). Digging a little deeper, I found a game that I’m reall...[Read More]
E3 2011: Torchlight II
Just a few months ago, I called the XBLA version of Torchlight the most fun I’d had gaming so far in 2011. Portal 2 dethroned it, and I’m afraid that this fall’s Neverwinter is going to bump it slightly more, but none of this changes the fact that Torchlight will still be one of my top 2011 games. At E3, I was privileged enough to sit down and play through one of the random event...[Read More]
Review: Portal 2 (360)
I spent the latter half of this past Saturday humming random bars from Jonathan Coulton’s brilliantly written ending credits song for the original Portal, Still Alive (We do what we must, because we can…)* After a handful of bars, my wife turned to me and asked, with more than a hint of exasperation, “Am I going to have to listen to you humming that all weekend?” I regretfu...[Read More]

Review: Torchlight (XBLA)
I have fond memories of late nights spent playing Diablo and Diablo II with the only light in my room being provided by my glowing computer screen. Throw in a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos and a giant cup of Dr. Pepper or Pepsi (none of that Coca-Cola crap, thank you very much) and I had myself one hell of a Friday night. Runic Games brought together the mad skillz of Travis Baldree (designer of Fat...[Read More]
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 004 – “I Wanna Take You For a Ride!”
The fourth episode of Marooners’ Talk features our new numbering system where the episode number actually matches the number of episodes! I know, I know, we’re bucking our system, throwing your world on its head, shattering everything you once believed to be true. Frankly, we got tired of explaining that Episode 2 was actually our third episode, etc.
