Life is Strange. This title, while simple, perfectly captures both the main ideas from the game itself and an understanding of humanity that we all can comprehend. In this subtle way, DONTNOD has created a connection to the player and the game, before the story is even started.

After more than 15 years since its original launch, Tim Schafer’s classic adventure game, Grim Fandango, has been remastered and re-released for PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita. As most fans know, this isn’t an ordinary re-release. After some of the original code was lost and Tim Schafer left LucasArts to form Double Fine, Grim Fandango got shoved under the rug and largely forgotten. For years the only way to play Schafer’s cult-classic adventure game was to download it illegally or track down a physical copy. Fortunately, thanks to this remaster, fans and newcomers like me can now play the classic for $14.99. Continue reading Grim Fandango Review
Do you make corny jokes? Can you motivate friends, family members, and total strangers to follow you around the world? Are you able to coordinate fierce battles with strange yet humorous monsters? If so, I’m placing my vote for you as Vice President of Earth in the new game, Citizens of Earth! Continue reading Citizens of Earth Review
In 2013, developer Gust released the fourteenth title in the long-running Atelier series: Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk. Like the previous Atelier games, it was an RPG with an elaborate crafting system and a near-unpronounceable name. Now, two years later, the game has made the jump from the PlayStation 3 to the PlayStation Vita, complete with new content (and all the original DLC included). Whether or not you’ve already experienced Ayesha’s journey on the PS3, read on to find out whether this port is worth your time and money.

In the last couple console generations, arcade-style sports games had a major decline in production. Besides Wii Sports, fans now favor the hardcore sports simulators with their realistic graphics, television-like presentation and true-to-life gameplay. Cartoony sports games are seen now as bush league.
One thing this decade has been lacking is a good Duke Nukem game. Duke Nukem Forever did not fill that role, so instead of trying again, Duke Nukem 3D and all of the expansions were wrapped up in a nice package and Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition came into existence. The PC version was released in 2013, and now Megaton Edition is available on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. It does fill the role of best Duke Nukem game this generation as well as the best first-person shooter on Vita.
The PlayStation Vita is a powerful handheld console capable of beautiful visuals. Resogun is a PlayStation 4-native twin-stick shooter known for its brilliant aesthetics. In theory, the two should be a flawless marriage.
A free-to-play third person shooter with an over the top presentation and deep weapon customization sounds great right? Well, it is not. Loadout was released in January for PC and has just now hit PlayStation 4. Whatever gaming device it is on, it is not a great game.
Destiny has been going strong since its September 9th release. Regardless of the opinions of reviewers and the player base, one comment has been popping up no matter where you look, “I can’t stop playing.” However, even with the player support, Bungie hasn’t rested on their laurels and this is evident by The Dark Below expansion that was released December 9, 2014.
