Game of Thrones and Telltale Games seem like a match made in heaven.  The world of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire has plenty of sword fighting and fantasy elements, but the real star has always been the fantastic characters and interplay between them.  Telltale Games...

Almost a full year after the release of Episode 1, the Tales from the Borderlands series came to it’s conclusion in Episode 5 in October. The full story arc follows the past exploits of Rhys, struggling mid-level employee of arms manufacturer Hyperion, and Fiona, con woman extraordinaire on the...

What happens when you marry two very different but popular genres? Well, I suppose it depends on the game types you are talking about, but Guncraft: Blocked and Loaded takes FPS popularity and applies it to the block building goodness that games like Minecraft helped to popularize. The end result?...

Choice.  Or at least the illusion of choice.  That’s the core gameplay element of the episodic adventure games by Telltale Games.  Great storytelling and strong characters make up the rest of the experience.  Both seasons of their Walking Dead series featured dozens of great...

Back in the early 2000s (2002 or so?), my brother handed me a book he thought I would like.  It was A Game of Thrones, the first book in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series.  At first, I was a caught a little off guard by the fact that the perspective shifted between...

In this day an age, as popularity increases, it is a near guarantee...

I first picked up Chivalry a couple of years ago when it released on the PC. I enjoyed it well enough despite some flaws and always felt like this was a title that would perform well on a console. Certainly using a controller felt more natural than a mouse and keyboard and the title was never such...

You got a cel shaded action game into my adventure game engine! You got your episodic story game into my gear driven shooter! Delicious. Tales from the Borderlands takes the two great tastes of Telltale’s renowned adventure game style and Gearbox’s Borderlands franchise and crafts a completely...

I enjoyed Persona 4 Golden when I had a chance to play it on the Vita, and that was my entry point into the world of Persona. I know Nick has played several other games in the series, dating back to the PlayStation original years ago, but for me this was the entry point. I have to admit that when...

Game of the year? That is up for debate (like most things), but Dark Souls II has certainly earned a place on our team as one of the best of 2014. The DLC to date has been an outstanding expansion on the base game, giving me a reason to go back in and die (over and over) again. This latest DLC,...
