Games
E3: Xbox One
The Price of Next-Gen
Is It Too Steep?

Microsoft unveiled more details about the Xbox One at E3, but they may be repeating some of the same mistakes one of their rivals made in the last generation of consoles.

Injustice: Gods Among Us
DC writes a love letter to their fans
What happens when super heroes think they are gods?

There are very few games I will spend sixty dollars on. There are even fewer games that I would buy a season pass for Downloadable Content. But when DC does a fan service and a very competent fighting game all in one then nerds can rejoice.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist
New Stalk, Strike, Silence Trailer
Still Room for the Stealth/Action Genre?

Review of End Game DLC
And is Premium Membership Worth It?

We take a look at the final expansion pack for Battlefield 3 and explore whether or not the extra money to be a Premium member was worth it.

Tomb Raider
Grittier Isn't Always Better
Believing in the Unbelievable

Lara Croft is back, and this time we go back to the beginning to learn how she became the famous Lara Croft. However, although the development of this gaming icon is quite good, this gritty adventure proves that just because it’s grittier doesn’t mean it’s better.

Oz: The Great and Powerful
Oz Fest... or Odd Fest?
A collection of unconventional news tidbits leave us scratching our heads...

Without a doubt, this is the strangest collection of news releases to come over the wire related to our favourite Emerald City in recent weeks. With so many random tidbits, I felt it was best to simply report them all together and let you judge for yourself.

Crysis 3
Standing Out From The Crowd
Who Do You Say The Prophet Is?

Crysis 3 doesn’t stray too far from its successful formula, but it adds just enough tweaks and improvements to keep things fresh and fun. Plus, it even tells a pretty decent story; which is always a bonus for any shooter.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
Ubisoft Unveils a Bold New Direction
It's a Pirate's Life for Assassins

The next entry into the Assassin’s Creed franchise was recently announced by Ubisoft, and if you thought taking things to the Revolutionary War was a bold move, then Ubisoft would like to say, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

Dishonored
A Wealth of Stealth
Have you had the chance to get Dishonored?

I have to give credit to this bold game for actually trying to hold the player responsible for their actions. So often killing in video games is portrayed so unrealistically. It’s like scoring a point in basketball. I think God wants us to treat everyone as our neighbor.

Madden NFL 13
WWMD: Week 13 [Update]
Another Win For Manning and Co.

The Broncos may start slow, but that’s just them figuring things out. They showed how that worked this week against Tampa Bay.

A Fitting Revival of the Strategy Genre

Halo 4
Game of the Year?
Doing Whatever It Takes To Save A Life

There were a lot of expectations for Halo 4 and its new creators at 343 Industries to live up to and overcome. Not only did they live up to them, they exceeded them and in doing so, perhaps have delivered one of the more surprising games this year.

Assassin’s Creed III
A Peek Behind History
