Review by Nick H. At a glance Destiny seems to check most of the boxes I was looking for from a game, with excellent visuals and tight shooting mechanics to go with some MMO/RPG elements to keep me coming back for more. It is difficult to view Destiny within a…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I have a confession to make: I had never played Minecraft before last week. All three of my kids have. My son, who is now fifteen, got his first account a few years ago and logged a ridiculous number of hours with it. And it’s not…
Read MoreNews by Jedediah H. Because I’m primarily a console gamer, when I viewed a PC Let’s Play video of Shadow Warrior and its amusing, sardonic swordsman Lo Wang as he segregated humiliated limbs from arrogant torsos, I was crestfallen. “When do I get to pwaaay?” I childishly asked, pink pacifier…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Forza series has always been an agreeable racing franchise for me, despite the fact I myself am not always particularly good at racing titles. I tend to lean towards racing games that focus more on comic mischief (think: Mario Kart), but the Forza racing series…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Contrast is an interesting look at a family struggling to stay together in the 1920’s. The primary character is a small girl named Didi, though the player actually controls Didi’s imaginary friend who shift through the light and shadows creating a world of 2D and 3D…
