This month in my gaming life was an achievement, as I finally – years behind everyone else – finished Horizon Zero Dawn. I’m not nearly as fast a gamer as Jacob is; if I like a game, I tend to draw out the experience as long as I can, which is easy to do with […]

Tales of Arise – Video Game Review
When I’m not writing, I’m usually playing video games, and my main game of the month has been Tales of Arise. This is actually my second play-through (and my first experience with the Tales franchise in general). Initially, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Tales‘ combat system, but the good news is each character has a distinct playstyle, so by […]

Dead Space: Scary Space
SPOILER WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for the Dead Space trilogy. You have been warned! The ability to evoke an emotional response is one powerful one, and fear is a very potent emotion. I remember being intimidated by the original Dead Space’s main menu alone. I didn’t even want to start that first game. So […]
Thief’s Covenant – Book Review
Once she was Adrienne Satti, an orphan with a rags-to-riches story. Now she is Widdershins, a thief with a sharp blade, a sharper wit, and help from a secret god living in her head. But now something horrid, something dark, is reaching out for her, a past that refuses to let her go… So declares […]
Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC – Game Review
IN SHORT: Experience one last hurrah with the characters of Mass Effect 3 as you explore new areas within the Citadel and take down a surprising new foe. WHAT IT IS: A massive amount of new character-based content! Every surviving character in my save file was represented with new scenes and dialogue, some with multiple […]
Final Fantasy XIII: Please Give This Plot a Pulse!
SPOILER WARNING! This article contains PLOT SPOILERS for Final Fantasy XIII. You have been warned! Final Fantasy XIII is something of a mixed bag. On one hand, it has a fast-paced and innovative combat system that keeps me coming back for more. Coupled with its tough difficulty curve, the game provides a generous challenge to […]
Fallout 3: President Eden is a Big Jerk!
SPOILER WARNING! This article contains PLOT SPOILERS for Fallout 3 and its expansion Broken Steel. You have been warned! The world of Fallout 3 is huge, rich, and entertaining. It’s not a game that guides the player through one action set piece after another. In a sense, the player makes his or her own set […]
Halo Series: I Prophet of Regret Nothing!
SPOILER WARNING! The following article contains PLOT SPOILERS for the Halo series. You have been warned! Halo was the reason I bought an Xbox, and I played that game to death. It was the first time I really enjoyed a shooter on a console. Every aspect of the game felt polished to me, from the […]
Bioshock: Would You Kindly Make Sense!
SPOILER WARNING! This article contains PLOT SPOILERS for the first Bioshock game. You have been warned! Bioshock is one of my top ten favorite game of all time (it’s #6). It’s fast, fun, atmospheric, and very well designed. As with any game, some elements click better than others (that darn research camera, grrr). But I’m […]
