As I explore the atmospheric hallways of Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster, I’m conflicted. I’ve always enjoyed the games from the early years of this series — the original take on survival horror made clever use of fixed camera angles, limited resources, and stiff controls to create a distinct style …

In the final episode of what will hopefully be the first of several seasons, Tales from the Borderlands caps off Telltale's adventure on Pandora in spectacular fashion. In just under two hours, it manages to cram in powerful moments that range from hilarious banter, wonderful throwbacks to the world of …
Read More »Assassin's Creed Rogue Review
History has always played a pivotal role in the Assassin’s Creed series. It serves as both inspiration and backdrop – a resource for dramatic events, supporting characters, and villains.
