For games, of the PC variety.
Release Date: 10/23/2015 Publisher: Funcom Platform: PC As a horror blogger, I’m sad to say that I don’t play many horror games. I’ll watch horror movies until the world ends, but there’s something about being an active participant in horror that’s absolutely terrifying. This game was no exception. What’s it about? Based on a portion … [Read more…]
Editor’s note: I haven’t completed the game yet, it’s a long game and I want to enjoy every nook and cranny, so I won’t be going into a review of the story here, or elements of the game that I haven’t experienced yet, that wouldn’t be fair to assess at this time. This is our … [Read more…]

Operation Locker is probably the second most hated map in Battlefield history, or most loved depending on who you ask. There’s rarely any middle ground when it comes to this map. With the linear design, multiple choke-points, and limited flanking lanes it is always going to be a chaotic frag fest unless you are playing … [Read more…]
I am increasingly struck dumbfounded by the level of childishness and pettiness of some of the gamers I run into online. I was reminded today of that while playing as commander in Battlefield 4. First, for those who don’t know, BF4 has a mode where you don’t play as a soldier, but as the commander, … [Read more…]
No, this isn’t about gas, it’s about noise discipline in Battlefield 4 and how to be the deadliest sneak you can be. Battlefield 4 is a game with a lot of sound, and learning how to use it and control it is imperative to becoming a good player, and a good team. This is all … [Read more…]
