Some people believe episodic content can’t hold up to a typical AAA release, or that the only great episodic stuff comes from TellTale Games. Camoflaj’s Kickstarter project Republique proves that other studios can use the model to create original content not based on an existing franchise that is just as thought provoking as the original BioShock or …
Fallout 4 Automatron DLC
If you’re anything like me, you’ve daydreamed of controlling a robotic army with Styx “Mr. Roboto” playing in the background as you conquer the world. Thanks to Fallout 4’s Automatron DLC these dreams can at least be lived vicariously through my Vault Dweller. The Mechanist The DLC kicks off with an emergency broadcast from a caravan in distress. When …
The Tomorrow Children Alpha – Hands On
Watching game developer streams on Twitch pays off. After feeling bummed I didn’t get into the Tomorrow Children Alpha via the PlayStation sign up page, I was able to get a code the Thursday of the final alpha weekend. So for the last Friday & Saturday of the alpha I was glued to the game, …
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
When it comes to Super Mario Bros spinoffs, I’ve always been a Paper Mario girl. I’ll take that franchise over Sunshine, Mario & Luigi, and New Super Mario Bros any day of the week. It was due to my love of Paper Mario that I decided I needed Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam in my life, …
Dining at Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs
I don’t fangirl over many things, however, while planning my first trip to Walt Disney World I discovered my favourite Iron Chef, Masaharu Morimoto, was opening a new restaurant to open in Disney Springs. And, miracle of miracles, Morimoto Asia was scheduled to be open during our trip! You can bet I was stalking their Facebook and Twitter …
Lexy Cooper Mysteries
The mystery genre boasts a plethora of themes, from the traditional Agatha Christie to a growing number of cat inspired novels. Yes, cat mysteries, a subgenre I am not too sure I want to venture into. In a very tiny corner of this category you will find the Lexy Cooper series, inspired by author Christa Charter’s time in …
Until Dawn
It’s been an awful long time since Until Dawn was originally announced, and I’ve been stalking all news of this B minus teen slasher movie ever since. It came out this past Tuesday (sadly no midnight opening at my GameStop for Madden meant I had to wait until that night to pick it up) and over the …
LEGO Dimensions Doctor Who Level Pack
Have I mentioned how much I love LEGO games? I’m pretty sure I have, but in case you missed it, I LOVE THIS FRANCHISE! LEGO Dimensions has taken all the best parts of LEGO games and given us building sets which are so much better than pre-built toys that can’t be manipulated. And yesterday, Doctor Who joined …
Yomawari: Night Alone
Every October I look forward to playing a scary video game; something that will cause me to jump, shriek “ACK!”, and get my heart racing a little. Last year that game was Until Dawn. In 2016, it’s disguised as kawaii chibi art in Yomawari: Night Alone. This spooky survival horror puzzle game is centred around a young girl …
Kingdom: New Lands
My addiction to Kingdom New Lands is all Candice’s fault. After watching her and Klaus stream the original Kingdom game (now Kingdom Classic) on our Loot Crate stream one afternoon, I immediately jumped onto Steam to pick it up. And for a month I ignored everything else in my backlog until I “beat” the game. *Warning: This …
