The Raven Legacy of a Master Thief: Chapter 1 – PC Review

Star Trek: The Game – PC Review
Fortunately, the writers were smart enough to make Star Trek’s story have nothing to do with Into Darkness. It is canon, and it does take place between the first two films, but nothing will be lost if it isn’t played. … Continue reading

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon – PC Review
It might be easy to view Blood Dragon as merely a re-skin, but I definitely did not find this to be the case. It’s a fast, clever, hilarious, action romp that knows when to slow down and allow the player … Continue reading

Deadpool – PC Review
I suppose it’s fitting that Deadpool’s game is just as “take it or leave it” as he is. This isn’t an awful experience by any means; fans will probably get some thrills, but those on the fence will walk away … Continue reading
