The Xbox One is here and along with it we get launch title exclusives! Let’s be honest here, that isn’t usually a phrase that we would openly celebrate if we are being realistic. Ryse will not go on to be a gaming classic but we could certainly do worse as far as titles to try out your new Xbox One […]

First Impressions is a close look at the crucial first hour spent with a game and its ability to draw you in or turn you away. Somewhere between a review and a preview.

First Impressions is a close look at the crucial first hour spent with a game and its’ ability to draw you in or turn you away. Somewhere between a review and a preview.

Starting out on the original Xbox with a controller that was roughly the size of an iPad or small computer, Microsoft went on to design the clear stand-out controller for the last (current?) […]

With Nintendo proclaiming 2013 the “Year of Luigi,” you’d think the guy would finally get a break (well, besides the phenomenal Luigi’s Mansion), but no matter how incredibly fun Mario & […]
