There’s an expression out there that the third time’s the charm. One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 takes that charm and uses it as a special weapon to decimate everyone that dared rush the field that out Pirates are out on. Back for the third time in a Warriors style, the cast of One Piece return for the best version yet with faster paced combat that its predecessors and tweaks to the system to make it stand proudly on its own as a Warriors entry.
Cogmind - PC Preview
This is a game that I had the joy of playing years ago, as an entrant in the 2012 7 day roguelike challenge, except vastly improved. Want to compare how far they have brought this gem in three years? Check out the original first.
Deadpool coming to current gen consoles
Sadly, this is not an all-new game, but I still enjoyed the title enough when I played it on my PS3 in the past. As a huge fan of Deadpool (I refuse to admit how many times I have watched every last iteration of the trailers for the upcoming movie), I still consider this good news.

Welcome back. Earlier today we talked about some of our favorite titles on the PlayStation. Two titles for a twenty year anniversary. It is still hard to believe that is has been that long. I actually did not intend to buy a PlayStation on day one. My childhood friend Randy had convinced me to go half-in on a console that we would trade back and forth every other week. At first I was reluctant - but I decided to go through with it. Randy however, came up short when the console released in the fall, so I was stuck footing the bill and keeping the console for myself. Mind you, he still came over and played it at my house - frequently. Still, we had a lot of good times with it. Here is the second half of my top 20 list of PlayStation titles.

So I have been gaming for... a long time now. I have had most consoles over the years at one point or the other, but one of the few I had day one was the original Sony PlayStation. Why is this significant? Because the system is celebrating its twenty year anniversary this week (technically yesterday here in North America). I absolutely loved this system and put together a lot of my fondest video gaming memories playing it. So, to celebrate twenty years, I am listing out my top twenty games today.

Paradox is bringing us Stallaris
Paradox has been around for a time now and has a strong pedigree in the strategy genre. Their recently announced Stellaris could have potential.
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation - Movie Review
You are reading that headline right. One of the team, Dimitris, has decided to share his love of movies with us and is now writing up more than just Retro Reflections. We will try to work these in as the occasional 2pm article each week. So to kick things off, let's take a look at his first Movie Review.
I watched the Mission Impossible series when I was a kid. It was not my favorite show but I remember the music, disguises and self-destruct messages. As for the movies, I loved the second one but was disappointed by its sequel so I missed Ghost Protocol.

OREI HD-104 1x4 4 Ports HDMI Powered Splitter - Hardware Review
HDMI splitters and switchers are incredibly useful - but while they sound similar, the two devices have very different purposes. For those looking to take a signal and rout it to multiple locations, a splitter is what you want - and if you are looking for a splitter? Well the OREI HD-104 is going to be exactly what you are looking for.
Transformers: Devastation - pre-order bonuses
I've been personally following this one since it was announced. Transformers was probably my favorite cartoon as a kid, and the games have been hit or miss over the last several years. However, this one looks like it was ripped straight from my childhood, and I couldn't be more excited about it.
Volume - PS4 Review
Skulking around large, posh homes in search of riches, our protagonist Robert is man who is interested in robbing from the richest people he can find. Sort of. In fact, Robert is navigating a virtual world and sharing his exploits with others so they themselves can pull off the perfect heists. This retelling of the Robin Hood story is an interesting attempt to wrap narrative around stealth mechanics that gets more right than wrong.
Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power - PC Review
