Life is Strange: Episode One Review By Kevin Kennedy (Theonekk) At first glance, Life is Strange appears to be simply Dontnod Entertainment’s attempt at a Telltale Games (The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us) style episodic game, down to the pre-title screen, which informs the player that choices will have far-reaching consequences. The art style…
A year ago, COD was pretty much the laughing stock of gaming with its sad release, “COD: Ghosts”. People lamented the title for it’s lazy storytelling, lackluster visuals, and odd weapon balancing issues. While I’m confident Infinity Ward had great intentions, they just weren’t able to live up to gamer’s high expectations. So how does…

Fans of the series, myself included, have been waiting for a new Smash for the last few years, and we wondered how it would fair on the Wii U.

By Kevin Kennedy As you can guess from that question mark at the end of the title, I’m completely at a loss when it comes to this game. Hohokum, available on PS3, PS4, and Vita, is a game in which you play a strange, kite- or snake-like creature that changes color and makes music. You…
By Kevin Kennedy (Theonekk) The top real life Collectible Card Game is back for another yearly installment of Duels of the Planeswalkers, promising more freedom and new gameplay, but does it deliver? Strangely absent from Playstation this time around (available on iPad, Steam, Android and Xbox 360), I found myself playing the Steam version. This…
I’ve spent the last month and a half putting the latest Astro A50’s to the test, playing everything from shooters, RPG’s, and adventure titles. So, are these fully wireless headsets worth the $300 price tag? Read on to find out. Presentation: It sounds a bit silly to some to discuss presentation for a product review, but in all honesty,…
Once there was an episodic game, made by Telltale Games, based on a series of comics that once were created by Bill Willingham and published by DC’s Vertigo Comics, about characters that in the olden days lived in familiar lands beyond our own. Ok, now that I have those clichés out of my system, The…
Let me start this review off by noting that I am late to this party.
