Yesterday, Telltale dropped Give No Shelter on us. In the second episode of the Walking Dead Michonne mini-series, Telltale continues the story of Michonne’s time during the time skip at the end of the All Out War Arc in the comics. If you’ve played Telltale games then you know what they’re about: cut-scenes, quick-time events, […]
Years ago I heard of a game called TrackMania. It was a (sort of) free-to-play racing game for the PC. I downloaded it after watching a few minutes of gameplay and what I discovered was a weird but fun racing experience. TrackMania on PC was covered in menus and leaderboards. While racing, it was filled […]
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. taught everyone a little something about sacrifice in the emotionally charged episode, “Parting Shot.” As it turns out, characters don’t have to die in order to exist on the show in a meaningful way.

“Rebecca” was one of those episodes that you don’t necessarily enjoy (despite its strengths), but which manage to avoid frustrating you (despite its flaws). Better Call Saul has always excelled at pulling something extra from the set decoration, cinematography, and the actions of its actors, but these didn’t add up to make an episode that […]
Superhot is a fascinating new take on the first-person shooter genre. It combines elements of first-person shooters with elements of strategy by slowing everything in the game to bullet time. You start each level often surrounded by several enemies, creatively called “red guys,” and proceed to murder the ever-living heck out of them until you […]
The snow is falling on the ground. Around me are large, dangerous mammoths. Somewhere nearby I hear a wolf’s howl. I tightly grip my spear and slowly crawl through some plants, being careful not to agitate the large and hairy beasts that surround me. Suddenly a roar rips through the cold air. I turn around […]
