    It’s my annual tradition in December to write up a list of my favorite media that I consumed throughout the year, that was released that year (here’s my 2014 edition). This is a HIGHLY subjective list, and is made up of stuff that I liked the most out of the stuff I got to experience.…

    There’s no denying that Destiny has played a huge role in my gaming life this year – it also has the distinction of being the game I’ve played the most, ever (total hours). Sometime in late October I did finally burn out on it – partly in frustration that I wasn’t managing to level up…

    I picked this up a while back during a PSN sale, but hadn’t gotten around to really spending time with it until recently. I gotta say, I’m having a really good time playing this. I absolutely love the stealth gameplay in 2D, and the art direction is really fantastic, deeply inspired by traditional Chinese art.…

    During last week’s PSN holiday sale I picked up telltale’s Game of Thrones for a steal (as well as Tales of the Borderlands), and started playing episode 2 last night on PS4 (I played episode 1 on iPad when it first released last year). I quite enjoyed the first episode, story-wise, and what I’ve played…

    I’d always been interested in Freedom Wars because I liked what I saw of the esthetic of the game, but not enough to pick it up – doesn’t help that I’ve tried playing stuff like God Eater, but didn’t really get into it (and I’m sure that’s because I didn’t have anyone to play with).…

    The other day I got a link to this article about the Twitch integration an indie dev (Robot Loves Kitty) was using for a game called Legend of Dungeon, by way of a separate free client that you can download (from Steam), called Legend of Dungeon: Masters. I was curious, and so immediately gave it…

  • Gauntlet: Slayer Edition

    This is one of the offering’s from PS+ this month, and I’d actually been quite looking forward to playing it, having heard good things – I remember one friend in particular, who’s judgement I trust, saying how much he enjoyed it. Well, it’s indeed a blast to play, feeling like what a Gauntlet game should…

  • The Order: 1886

    I had always been curious to play this, and at 10 bucks during a recent PSN sale, I finally took the plunge. I’ve only played an hour or two so far, but it’s certainly one of the nicest looking games I’ve seen – realistic-looking graphic fidelity doesn’t get much nicer than this in games, me…

  • Fallout 4

    Like the rest of the planet, I’m playing Fallout 4. After an initial big night of play of 4-5 straight hours, I’ve decided to take it easy, and just do 1-2 hour sessions every once in a while. I want to slowly savor it, but at the same time, I find that it’s a pretty…

  • The Walking Dead: Season 2

    I used to play all of the Telltale games, but finally got to a point where I was burnt out on them – it even happened before, and then I felt a spurt of interest when Game of Thrones and Tales of the Borderlands launched, but after playing through the first episode of each, even…
