The Walking Dead: Season One - PS3 Review

The Walking Dead is a game, based on the hit show, based on a comic book. So basically you have a bunch of influences here, but while a lot of the material is based loosely on an existing set of stories, the approach Telltale Games took with Season One was somewhat risky in...

Considering some tweaks to the format around here

Good morning, everyone.
So I've been considering some tweaks to the site here. You may have noticed that a few of my articles have been written by guest contributors once in a while, and I would certainly not object to having more of that going forward. If you think you have...

It is no secret I like a lot of the titles NIS America puts out there. I have had a chance to review several of them, and it feels like they are getting stronger just about every time. When NIS America had their keynote in San Francisco last week, they got a lot of gamers...
