Fallout 4 Nuka World DLC

Fallout 4’s swan song Nuka-World dropped on the evening of August 29th here in North America. I would have dived on in but when I offered to play it for a while on the Loot Crate stream there was an anxious wait. I won’t lie, it was hard. Like, really hard. Me + Bethesda RPGs = <3 You don’t immediately …

Fallout 4 Vault-Tec Workshop DLC

With the Vault-Tec Workshop’s recent release, we’re nearing the end of Fallout 4’s adventure. I knew it wouldn’t last forever, that eventually I would complete absolutely everything there was for me to experience in the Commonwealth. But it’s not time to say goodbye just yet, especially not when I have all sorts of new things I …

Fallout 4 Contraptions Workshop DLC

Remember last week when Bethesda announced at their E3 presser that we were getting new Fallout 4 DLC starting this month with the Contraptions Workshop? They showed us elevators and sorting machinery, and I’m pretty sure there was a version of the classic board game Mousetrap shown off in the preview video. They had me at …

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.

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 …

LEGO Dimensions Wave 1 Level Packs

My favourite family-centric video game series, LEGO titles never seem to disappoint us. We’re two grown adults with no kids who looks forward to sitting down to some couch co-op when new titles launch. We also love to build LEGO. No joke. The LEGO Store is a dangerous and wonderful place, especially those 3-pack build your own LEGO people …

Destiny: Alpha vs Beta

After being lucky enough to enjoy both the Alpha and Beta releases of Destiny (thank you, Bungie!!), I thought I would just share a few thoughts about both experiences. I’m not the most hardcore shooter fan, I stopped caring about Halo after the original trilogy game and I’m not into Call of Duty. When I …

How the PS4 Won Our Pre-Order

I want to preface this by stating for those who do not know me very well that I am not a fangirl of any Big Three console makers. It’s always been that I get the systems that have the games I want to play. Last time around I got the Xbox 360 before my PS3 …

Dazed, Confused, and Rolling on the Floor Laughing

Oh Microsoft! Sometimes I just don’t get you. You schedule a console reveal event prior to E3, which in and of itself is completely fine, but then you pretty much ignore your gaming core, focusing instead on TV and movie integration, show off your recently purchased Skype tools, and push the Kinect technology without clarifying …
