Mass Effect: Andromeda Review – One Backward Step For Mankind
The Mass Effect franchise is important to me, perhaps even more so than my own nieces. Given the choice between Mass Effect 2 and my nieces I’d be clutching that box to my heart faster than you could call social services. Sure, like most people I was left somewhat aghast at how the third game…

Plague Inc. The Board Game Review – Greenland Is Much Easier To Kill In This Version

Styx: Shards of Darkness Review – The Goblin Deadpool
I love those games that come out of nowhere and surprise you with just how enjoyable they actually are. Despite the fact that I enjoyed the first Styx game its sequel wasn’t exactly on my radar, so imagine how pleased I am to report that it’s a whole load of fun. It’s certainly the most…

Lemuria: Lost in Space Review – In Space No One Can Hear You Sigh
Science fiction is one of the most beautiful genres, its very premise allowing readers, viewers and players to be amazed by visions of the future or glimpses of alternate timelines while also exploring complex issues that relate to us and our planet under a more comfortable guise.

The Others: 7 Sins Review – Damned?
I’ve been sitting staring at this damn screen for what feels like an eternity, the ghastly flu I’m battling having basically stripped my mental reasoning down to that of a brick.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Board Game (2017) Review – Is It Of The Good?
As a grown man I have no problem admitting that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my favorite TV shows ever, the marvelous imagination of geek icon Joss Whedon creating something that I have cherished. I grew up watching it, and throughout the years I’ve appreciated it more and more, from being a little…

The Colonists Board Game Review – Eight Hours Later
At the start of the year I made a resolution to review some heavier, deeper boardgames during 2017. Having played through all four eras of The Colonists in a single sitting, though, I’m beginning to regret that decision. This is no small game; in comes in a sizable box that doesn’t have any form of…

For Honor Review – No Dedicated Servers, No Honor
Well, look at you, Ubisoft, giving us some original titles and acting like a grown up game development company trying to do original things. Sort of. It wasn’t that long ago Ubisoft took an interesting chance with Rainbow Six: Seige, a highly tactical, slow-paced shooter that has managed to capture itself a dedicated audience who…
