Blackguards - PC Review

Turn-based RPG/strategy titles rank among my favorite games on any platform. More often than not, they show up on PC, where the mouse interface makes unit selections easier than it might be with a console controller. Blackguards is the latest entry into this genre, courtesy...

As a huge fan of the Uncharted and Tomb Raider games over the years, Adam's Venture Chronicles held a certain appeal for me right out of the gates. I grew up with Raiders of the Lost Ark, and this had a very similar vibe in the story, where you are exploring forgotten depths...

Good morning, everyone. We are going a bit light here at Chalgyr's Game Room this week (and the last few as you likely noticed). Vacations, lousy weather, training conferences and more have been conspiring against spare time lately. So, I thought I would kick out a light review...

I loved pinball Arcade on the PlayStation 3. FarSight Studios did a wonderful job of crecreating real pinball machines in digital form. I had purchased every single DLC that released for it. When I heard that Pinball Arcade was coming out for the PlayStation 4, I was predictable...

Alright then - I am back from Florida. Which, for the record, was a whole lot nicer than Michigan. It is roughly five degrees out this morning. Guh! Ah well, I decided to toss out a quick review to help get the ball rolling this week. I will have another brief guest post tomorrow...
Wii U Windwaker Bundle - Hardware Review

I am heading out to Florida to visit with my dad for several days, so this post will have to hold you over until sometime next week. As such? I thought I would make it a meaty one. I hope you enjoy!
This has been a really exciting few months for me from a video game standpoint....
Don't Starve - PlayStation 4 Review

The latest release for PlayStation Plus on the PlayStation 4 is Don't Starve, and interesting survival/horror/crafting hybrid. Think Minecraft with more tension. It is an interesting experiment that does not always hit the mark, but does get quite a few things right along the...
NBA 2K14 - PlayStation 4 Review

I love the NBA. I have been following it for decades now, from playing basketball growing up, to collecting packs of cards and walloping AI opponents in NBA video games since Double Dribble on the NES. Over the years the NFL has slowly become my most-watched sport, but the NBA...

Looks like I am finally participating in a Kickstarter, but not from the side of things I expected to be. Matt from Digitally Downloaded is leading the charge on a hardcover book called The Interactive Canvas, which is a book that champions the idea that games do in fact have...
