Simply a game that exists to provide a few hours of mild enjoyment.

There is too much content spread across a large game structure.

When StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty was released back in 2010, it marked a change in how I played games. I got sucked into the competitive multiplayer mode to the point where I joined my university’s StarCraft II collegiate team as well as discovered the wonderful world of eSports. As time went on and StarCraft II failed […]

When Destiny first came out in 2014, I played it religiously. Every day, I’d log in to do the daily bounties or Weekly Strike in order to obtain the best possible loot that I could find. It almost became a way of life. Despite my obsession, I definitely recognized the glaring faults of the game. […]

A reclusive corporate tycoon is on the hunt for a genetically engineered super soldier in the erratic video game adaptation Hitman: Agent 47. The characters and concept behind this film come from a popular 15-year-old video game series. The success of such films often pales in comparison to the success of the games on which they’re based.

I am from the generation that begged my parents for quarters so that I could run off to the arcade when we went shopping at the mall. Even now, I am still in the habit of paying for items with certain combinations of coins and bills in order to get back quarters. My older brother […]

The reign of Ludwig II of Bavaria in the latter half of the 19th Century is memorable mainly for its castles. The young king couldn’t stop thinking about them. By the time of his death, he’d created some of the most extravagantly lavish castles in the world. Their iconic nature so captivated Walt Disney that […]

Certain movie scenes stick with you forever. Some are iconic for everyone like the finales of Casablanca or Gone with the Wind, and others are more personal. One of those scenes for me is the T. rex attack on the jeep in Jurassic Park. I remember seeing it the first time in a packed theater. […]

Most serious gamers out there have, at some point, come into contact with a social party game called Mafia. In Mafia, players secretly take on roles right out of The Godfather. There are mobsters, policemen, a doctor, everyday citizens and the Godfather himself. Each round, the innocent townspeople try to unmask the mafiosi through deductive […]

Marvel is really on a roll these days. Moviegoers and fanboys alike anticipate every film in the Marvel Cinematic Uinverse, even this summer’s Ant-Man, a character who never would have made the transition from comic book to silver screen prior to this heightened interest. Avengers: Age of Ultron kicks off Phase 3 of the Universe […]
