We stand today at a point we’ve never stood at before, led here by a great many social movements, from the end of slavery, all across the annals of history to GamerGate. This point is a crrossroads, and one which holds great promise, if we choose to pursue the path as of yet unchosen. The crossroads holds two signs, each facing an opposing direction, attached to a wooden pole in the ground, and we find … Read More

To start things off, I will first admit that I only started playing the Assassin’s Creed series on the 4th one, Black Flag. Who can resist the lure of playing pirates for goodness sake. That being said, as it was only next generation in the sense that it was still designed with the older generation in mind, I was expecting quite a lot from Ubisoft. I enjoyed Black Flag and Watch_Dogs, and am actually thinking … Read More
We’ve all been there; “I wanna lose 5lbs.” It sounds so easy, too, doesn’t it? And then you get hit with the barrage of fad-diets and people who want to change your entire lifestyle.

If a player doesn’t have a direct control over the outcome of a game, then they may as well be watching TV instead of playing, because they’re not actually engaging in the gameplay aspect. This is the single most important aspect of what makes a game fun, and one which, sadly, is misunderstood by many developers, and hence we get … Read More

If you are familiar with John then you know how gregarious he is and how he loves talking with his communities about his games. Naturally we get a chance to try and pry some information about KF2 out of John. Give a listen and see if … Read More
One would think that the MOBA genre is quite over saturated. You`ve got Dota, LoL, HoN, Smite and probably a dozen more similar games out there, competing in the same Arena. At least that is what I thought, and it seems I was wrong. Blizzard, one of the massive game development companies, known mostly for their Warcraft and Starcraft series, decided to push into the market, by bringing us “Heroes of the Storm”.

It’s so sad when you really want to make a gaming purchase but the weight of the flaws and the lack of confidence in the developer and publisher prevent you from buying.
