Review: Secrets of Rætikon – A new angle on acute bird watching
While drafting this review I continually hit a wall in the form of the question “How do you review a game that is all about secrets?” Secrets, by their nature, are supposed to be hidden. So by explaining why Secrets of Rætikon is good I could easily ruin it. With that in mind, I have attempted to pen this review in a such a way as to withhold the secrets while also exploring the Secrets of Rætikon. Secrets of Rætikon places you in control of a man-bird-thing. You are...
Nintendo announced Charizard, Mega Charizard, and Greninja for Super Smash Brothers Wii U
Today Nintendo hosted a Nintendo Direct that was all about Super Smash Brothers Wii U and 3DS. Everyone was expecting to see new characters announced but none seemingly were. Then, in typical Nintendo tomfoolery, the screen faded up and hundreds of Pokemon rained from the sky like meteorites. Charizard faced against the sky and was confirmed with a “Charizard Fires It Up!” He ascended to the sky and came crashing down inches from Mario. During the fight a shadow...
Dark Souls 2 Prologue Trailer 1
Having recently completed Dark Souls my hype glands are working overtime for Dark Souls 2. From Software captured lightning in a bottle twice and seems well on their way to doing it once more. But until its release we must feed on souls, er, trailers in order to satiate our dark desires. So enjoy the Dark Souls 2 Prologue 1 trailer. Judging by the title I assume there will be another very soon. Gamers who pre-order the game will be upgraded to the Black Armor Edition which...
Early impression of the new Thief
I remember watching my friend who introduced me to video gaming play the original Thief games, when I heard a new one would come out this year I could hardly wait. While my schedule has only permitted me the time to play a handful of hours of the game since its release February 25, I wanted to share my impression of Thief’s first few hours. When things go bad in Thief, the game shines. When a plan goes south, as mine often do, the game presents plenty of options. Between...
Caffeine: Dead Space with a cup o joe
I adore horror games. Well, I say adore but what I really mean is that I hate every second of playing them but then months later I remember them fondly. My absolute favorite series was Dead Space, with its tight corridors and twisted necromorphs. What really drove the horror in Dead Space home though was the isolation. You were in space and, if I may rip the back of the box tagline “There’s No Help Coming.” Knowing that you were alone and that no one is...
Watch The Walking Dead Season 2 – Episode 1 Trailer

The trailer contains nearly no spoilers, but if you want to stay completely in the dark, avoid it. The Walking Dead: Season 2 will be available starting December 17th and Steam users can Pre-order it for a reduced price.

RE:View – Psychonauts
Psychonauts is one of those ‘well loved, cult classic, OMG you haven’t played…’ games. This is not without good cause. Psychonauts has on overwhelming sense of charm that carries most of the game. Unfortunately it also has several glaring technical and design problems that make it a bit harder to tolerate today. Take for example a very simple thing, jumping. While it may have been perfectly fine in 2005, it is now the weakest part of the game. The problem...
Kingdom Hearts X [chi] is a browser based game
As we all wait with bated breath for the arrival of the third installment in the Kingdom Hearts series, Square Enix plants to satiate our thirst with… a browser game? Ok, so maybe they do not plan on actually using Kingdom Hearts X [chi] to hold us over until Kingdom Heats 3, but then why make it? Is the nostalgia in the Disney Worlds enough to drag gamers into what is essentially a Facebook game? Personally, I am sick of seeing Wonderland; I have explored it at least...
