Neverwinter: Casual Impressions
May 8th, 2013 by

I hadn’t planned on playing Neverwinter, mainly because I expected it to look and feel dated and in part because I am full up to -here- with fantasy MMOs. Why would we need yet another one with so many good ones out there? That said, everyone who was playing it (which is most of the [...]

Wildstar: I Like Sass In My Games
February 13th, 2013 by

I try to not get too excited about upcoming games; I try not to fall for the hype. Those who know me will know that this must be a very recent thing because I always get excited about games that I’m looking forward to. But after getting both disappointed in, and pissed off by, Guild [...]
