This time, using audio diaries and images, we are invited to join fictional reporter Benjamin Giraud as he recounts the history of Halo’s hero: The Master Chief. Join us as we examine...

Review: Shovel Knight for Xbox One
Following up on last week’s PlayStation release, Yacht Club Games has also launched their side-scrolling platforming adventure Shovel Knight on the Xbox One. I had the opportunity to follow-up my review of the game by playing much of the Xbox One version, and I’m happy to say that the experience is nearly identical to the other versions, while also including platform-specific features such as Achievements. This release, much like PlayStation versions, features...

Review: State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition
It’s amazing what a small team of developers and fans can do when they truly believe in a product or idea. Never was it more apparent to me than when I was first exposed to Undead Labs and “State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition” at PAX East 2015. Having never played the 2013 release on the Xbox 360, the entire concept of the game was first shown to me right on the show floor. The enthusiastic personal walkthrough I received from an Undead Labs representative was...

Halo – Hunt the Truth – An Ongoing Analysis of the Viral Marketing Campaign
Since I first played Halo: Combat Evolved, I’ve been hooked on the Sci-Fi story it tells. I dug deep into the backstory as Microsoft and Bungie fleshed out their narrative, reading the books and keeping tabs on things like the Halo 2 Viral campaign, “I Love Bees.” Halo continued to grow into a universe that had complex concepts being thrown at the fans from many directions, and in the time between each subsequent game release, the Universe grows even more. As of...
New Gears of War Projects on the Horizon?
Apparently we have more Gears of War coming our way. Recently Rod Fergusson tweeted that, unfortunately, there will be no collection centered around Marcus Fenix coming anytime soon. Although, he did mention that in fact Black Tusk is working on other Gears of War projects, plural. I love the passion, but there’s no Marcus Fenix Collection. We ARE working on other exciting Gears projects. I’ll see you at E3! — Rod Fergusson (@GearsViking) March 19, 2015 Kind of...
