It’s hard not to like the Rabbids. Their wacky antics and comedic style make for charming and simply silly games. Merge that with the lighthearted and fun world of Mario and you are in for a good time. These words are ones that you would think you’d never say, yet...
The Bioshock games are undoubtedly some of the best games to ever come to the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360, and in this generation of remakes and remasters it was to be expected that they would surface to give a new generation of players a chance to experience the entire series. 2K...
Night in the Woods
We have come to expect a lot from the games that independent developers bring us. These developers are offered an opportunity that many bigger groups don’t have. They can develop deep experiences that enable the player to seep into a world and become absorbed in the world that they create....
Layers of Fear
The path of the artist can be tough, it is said for an artist to paint they must first deconstruct themselves, think of it as soul searching. The artists must search their mind and uncover the dark truths that they try to hide, their own fears, and their own past....
Mirror's Edge Catalyst

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, this is precisely the case with Uncharted 4, Naughty Dog was not shy about telling us that this game marks the end of Nathan Drake’s adventures and it is fitting. I have to admit there is an air...
Little Inferno
In life we are given many lessons, one of the strongest is that you should never play with fire. Fire is dangerous, it is wild, it can hurt you and cost you more than some can even imagine. In life you should never play with fire, but in case you...
BioShock 2
The original Bioshock is considered to be a marvel of game design, a true revolution of its genre that took its ideas in a whole new direction. There of course is great reason for this, Bioshock was all of that and even more, it was for a good reason that...
BioShock
The last generation consoles offered many highlights in terms of games that either meant a lot to us or enveloped us in something truly thought provoking. Of the games that fit into either category there is few that standout as the best examples of what made the Playstation 3 and...
