Defend the Highlands - PC Preview
Defend the Highlands is an interesting title that bridges the gap between tower defense and real-time strategy. Tower defense generally feels like a subset of the RTS genre, but here it blurs a few more lines in creating a game that is wacky and entertaining.

OREI HD-401p 4x1 HDMI Switcher - Hardware Review
HDMI is such a fantastic output when playing video games, carrying high quality sound and audio to your system. However, with all of the gaming consoles out on the market now, not every television has as many ports as you might need. This is where something like the OREI HD-401p 4x1 HDMI Switcher comes into play, as it allows me to take four different devices and draw them into a single port on my HD television - and it works wonderfully.
SMITE - Xbox One Review
I have become something of a MOBA fanatic over the last year. I have come to expect certain things from the genre, which made me skeptical that it would translate well to the Xbox One because of the controller interface. I am happy to say that SMITE works very well on the Xbox One, and is an absolute blast to play.
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel - Retro Reflections
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel takes place in America after it has been devastated by a nuclear holocaust. The scattered survivors struggle to rebuild civilization while dealing with radiation, bandits and mutated beasts. The Brotherhood of Steel is a group of heavily armed men and women, devoted to bringing order to the chaos of the post-apocalyptic world.
Pixels - Movie Review
Movies based on video games don’t have a good history. So, what happens when you make a movie inspired by very old games that don’t even have a proper storyline or locations to use? You get Pixels.
Stasis - PC Review
Stasis looks like an old school isometric RPG game, but it is actually a carefully crafted science fiction/horror title with a lot of excellent writing that helps to offset its occasionally frustrating puzzles.
Almightree: The Last Dreamer - PC Review
Almightree: The Last Dreamer is a good example of how well a mobile based title can perform when being ported to something like a PC. Using either a keyboard or a controller, fast thinking is going to be required in this puzzle platformer as there is no time to sit around smelling the flowers with the entire whole world literally crumbling around you.
A look at Might & Magic Heroes VII a week before it releases
The strategy/RPG genre is still among my favorites and I have spent hundreds of hours on the games from the Might & Magic Heroes series - making this upcoming version of the game one I am incredibly interested in.
Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance - PS4 Review
September 22, 2015Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance, Nippon Ichi Software, NIS America, PS4, review, Sony PlayStation 4
Disgaea is back with its usual collection of over-the-top characters, ridiculous humor and of course, mountains of serious strategy. Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance introduces the long running series to the PlayStation 4 and the transition is a fantastic one. There is an absolute ton of different things to do and if you don't mind a little (or a lot) of grinding in your strategy games, you will find your time here to be well spent as Disgaea 5 is in the running for my game of the year.
Super Mario Maker - Wii U Review
It's Super Mario! I would have killed for something like this when I was a kid. I always had a tendency to latch onto games with creation elements, and that really has not changed over the years. Super Mario Maker is almost exactly what I wanted thirty years ago. Better late than never!
Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion - PC Review
September 22, 2015pc, Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion, review, Slitherine Ltd, Witching Hour Studios
Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion is a solid tactical game, but its roleplaying elements are light, leading to a bit of a missed opportunity. Thankfully the tactical combat holds up quite well, making this title worth a peek for fans of fantasy tactics games.
