I woke up today feeling like it was Christmas morning. BlizzCon is always exciting, and after some of the hints we’ve seen, I was expecting some really huge news. Instead, it’s turned out to be perhaps...
View ArticleBlizzCon 2016: WoW News After All, Plus Heroes and Diablo
This year’s BlizzCon didn’t exactly get off to a strong start. It’s worth noting I’ve experienced a significant traffic spike over the past two days, and from what I can tell it’s mostly from people...
View ArticleMy Top Five Games: New School
Instead of doing a top ten list of all my favourite video games, I’ve decided it’s more fair to rank my favourite older and newer games separately, five each. I’ve already covered the old school...
View ArticleIs Blizzard Moving away from Narrative?

View ArticleReview: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
