Valiant Hearts: The Great War Review
MORE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE THAN THE ACTUAL GAMEPLAY
In an industry where most war games are shooters in some fashion, Valiant Hearts: The Great War stands out. Valiant Hearts is a puzzle adventure game, and by far the most interesting take on a war game I have ever experienced. Continue reading Valiant Hearts: The Great War Review

Mario Kart 8 Review
TAKING THE GOLD
Mario Kart 8 is fantastic. If you are reading this, you know that. If you have a Wii U, there is already a 33% chance you own it. Seeing how the game is known across the board as an instant classic, this review is going to be used to highlight the good, the bad, and the ugly of Mario Kart 8 — what should Nintendo do to perfect the series? Further, where did Nintendo make spot-on improvements to the Mario Kart formula with their newest iteration? Is this merely a great or the greatest Mario Kart title?

Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars Review (Vita)
For some time now, I’ve expected the emergence of the “Persona-like”, a new subgenre of RPGs that combine dungeon-crawling combat with social/dating sim elements. The concept was codified in 2006 by Persona 3, and it just works so well that I’m surprised it took this long for other games to be inspired by it. Spike Chunsoft’s Conception series is, to my knowledge, the first attempt at creating another franchise inspired by the Persona formula. Now that Conception II has been released outside of Japan, us Westerners get to see how this experiment went. Continue reading Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars Review (Vita)

Wolfenstein: The New Order Review
Crazy Nazi Robo-Dogs!?
Wolfenstein: a nostalgic title for gamers the world over, just not for me. I seem to be one of the few people in existence that has never played a Wolfenstein game. In fact, I had never even heard of Wolfenstein until this one was announced last year. But I was excited when I found out that it is an alternate history first person shooter. I know what you’re thinking: I don’t deserve the right to review a game with such a rich history since this will only be my first in the line; well I did anyways. So did Wolfenstein: The New Order quench my thirst for a good alternate history game? Continue reading Wolfenstein: The New Order Review
