Why These Three Star Wars Games Got It Right
I absolutely love the Star Wars franchise – like many children of the late 80s and early 90s I grew up alongside the films, my parents showed them to me on VHS just before the Special Editions came out in theatres. Nowadays the use of puppets looks silly, I mean Yoda can’t even hit things […]
Kenny’s Fallout 4 Log – One Month
Masters of the Commonwealth December 11th, 2015 Oh, buddy, I’ve seen some things. I’ve finally gotten through the story content and a majority of the side content that’s presently available and reachable that has been found. I’ve seen references to Cthulu mythology, I’ve battled giants by the handful, I’ve established enough settlements to say I […]
Why Undertale dominating the gamefaqs poll means something
I like Undertale. I like it a lot, and I don’t seem to be the only one. As of the time of writing this article, Undertale has just beaten out Pokemon Red/Blue and secured itself a spot in the quarter finals of gamefaq’s contest to determine the “Best. Game. Ever.”. This contest is a pretty […]
Spending An Evening At San Francisco’s Brewcade
Videogames and alcohol can sometimes be great partners together – I spent many nights hanging out with friends drinking vodka coolers and playing Halo 3 back in University. San Francisco’s Brewcade takes this synergy of videogames and booze and adds an arcade twist. With an plethora of different brews and a whole lot of older […]
Kenny’s Fallout 4 Log – Day 14
The Obsession Sets In November 25th, 2015 It’s starting to happen and I can slowly feel it: even though I know there’s better games out there, much less in my PlayStation 4 collection, alone, I find myself coming back to Fallout 4 every single time. There are days where, in spite of the fact that there […]
Does AMD’s Crimson Driver Suite Really Increase Performance By 20%?
As we reported earlier this week AMD has released an elaborate overhaul of both it’s Windows 10 / 8 / 7 drivers for AMD Radeon Cards that support the Graphics Card Next (GCN) architecture.

Fallout 4: Survival in the Wasteland
If you’re having trouble making it in the Commonwealth of Fallout 4… …you’re far from alone on that one. There’s a lot of people out there who are already kind of burned out on the game with the sheer amount of things you can do. It’s kind of overwhelming. I totally agree with you! That’s why […]
The Overwatch Stress Test Changed My Opinion Of The Game
I’ve known about Blizzard’s colorful and vibrant first person shooter, Overwatch, for a while now. I remember everyone getting totally amped up about the game last November when the game was unveiled but I wasn’t as taken in my the initial gameplay trailers and character reveals as some fans where. After spending several hours with […]
Kenny’s Fallout 4 Log – Day 7
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb November 18th, 2015 So, here we are: I’ve had this game for a full week and even the acquisition of NHL 16 hasn’t slowed progress any… that’s saying a lot because I’m a humongous hockey fan. It’s been a long time and the path through the […]
Every FPS feels exactly the same
This month saw the release of two of the industry’s biggest first person shooter (FPS) titles, a Halo game, and a Call of Duty game. Playing each one, one right after the other, it would be easy to mistake these two titles as one series of games just set in a different world. That generic […]
Tomb Raider vs. Fallout: Under Pressure
Lara Croft and her Tomb Raider games have always been under some degree of scrutiny: whether it was what got her attention in the first place, the quality of her games, or the fact that, to this day, her releases have almost always been up against some stiff competition. From the time her character was conceived, she […]
Kenny’s Fallout 4 Log – Day 3
How Seth Got His Groove Back November 13th on PlayStation 4 Yeah, so, my character’s name is Seth: there’s a bit of a story behind that name and there’s about four I try to inject into just about every self-injection game lead I can but that’s a different story for a different time. I’ll tell […]
Nintendo Dampening Expectations For This Most Recent Direct Was the Right Move
Nintendo’s decision to post a notice on the Nintendo Direct official website outlining that they had no plans to discuss the NX or Mobile during today’s broadcast was absolutely the right move. Usually dampening your fan bases expectation for such a high profile event like the return of Nintendo Directs would be a bad thing […]

Deathclaws and Power Armor, Already? November 11th, 2015 on PlayStation 4: A lot’s happened in a short amount of time.

Just What The Hell Are They Yelling About: An Introduction to Hearthstone
Earlier this week the Hearthstone World Championship officially started. Even though it was only the round of 16, viewer count peaked at over 100K, briefly becoming the most viewed game on Twitch. The Hearthstone competitive scene is big, and it’s a pretty cool place. I’ve enjoyed following competitive Hearthstone ever since its beta, and I […]
