Image via Obsidian As someone who has been playing games for three decades, I stand by the fact that high-quality, fun, and enjoyable games have never been as common, easy to find, and easy to play as they are right now. The downside to this is that we always seem to be moving on from […]

As the Marvel’s Avengers campaign ends, to be replaced by samey missions, it reminds me of the dual identity of so many superheroes. Avengers straps on its tightest, glossiest spandex for the campaign and dazzles with its moves, but once that adventure ends and it returns to the daily grind of a multiplayer-oriented endgame, it […]

Image via THQ Nordic I’m one of those people who felt that Kingdoms of Amalur got something of a raw deal the first time around. While not groundbreaking, the game was a lot of fun thanks to the combat, and I found it engaging enough to put in two full playthroughs before moving on to […]
