2018 was an interesting year for myself and gaming. To start the year, my apparently cheap self finally sprang for an external hard drive, ready to take on ALL THE GAMES… on just one console, because I didn’t buy two. But hey, I got the time!
After starting off the DLC series with Black Cat, Marvel’s Spider-Man is back with part two of The City that Never Sleeps with Turf Wars, featuring Hammerhead. While The Heist had its highlights, it was too intimate of a setting and I had hoped we’d see a much larger expansion of the storyline. Not so much, unfortunately. What’s It About Turf Wars picks up shortly after the events of The Heist. I wasn’t incredibly clear on how far after, but […]
The amazing Marvel’s Spider-Man game released its first batch of DLC with The Heist, part of a three-part series called The City that Never Sleeps. The DLC series will take Web Head deeper into the mob organizations within the city. Getting things started? Peter’s dangerous ex-flame: Black Cat. What’s It About Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, made her presence felt in the main storyline through hidden cat icons, but she makes her full debut in The Heist. She’s stolen her suit […]
While sometimes taking a back seat to others, the underlying focus to Telltale’s The Walking Dead series has been Clementine. Her story started six years ago when Lee came across a scared little girl. Now, her story perhaps reaches its end with The Walking Dead: The Final Season. Clementine is back in the spotlight in Episode 1, Done Running. She’s found her beloved AJ and is now in a position to be his parental figure. But of course, there’s a […]
I have to admit: I’m a complete novice when it comes to God of War. General life circumstances never really gave me access to the franchise (which is easily correctable at this point). Despite that, I was excited to dive in with this newest God of War. There was a lot of change I could come into that would ultimately be new for me. So how does it all resonate? Pretty awesomely! Let’s dive in.
As great of a job as Telltale has done with a Batman series, can they just give us a Joker series? Asking for a guy I know. What’s It About? Episode 5, Same Stitch, pays off John Doe as the Joker is one of two ways: Vigilante or Villain. Your choices leading into and starting off this episode produce either version and will play out differently. For my playthrough, I dealt with Villain Joker. The Pact has narrowed itself to […]
When I left off my last review of Telltale’s ongoing Batman season, I was wanting more. Well, turns out I got a lot more of what I wanted in the latest release: What Ails You. The title is incredibly apt in that it’s a deeper dive into each character’s driving factors. It creates an incredibly engaging story that barely needs Batman in it at all.
Throughout the year I felt like I played a lot of games between conventions and releases, but then I realized: I played a lot of partial games. Lots of episodes and plenty of demos. Such is the life focused on event coverage.
Horizon: Zero Dawn was easily one of the best games 2017 had to offer, so getting the chance to dive back into the world is inherently exciting and daunting. Could an expansion live up to the quality of the rest of the game? In the case of The Frozen Wilds, absolutely.
Over the last couple of weeks, there were two notable releases featuring Batman. One is a dumbed down mess that shows Batman getting beat to hell, getting almost all of his toys broken, and making him be a foolish jerk. The other tells a cohesive and engaging story. Let’s talk about the latter! Telltale Games’ Batman – The Enemy Within, Episode 3: Fractured Mask.
Darkness rises… and microtransactions rise to meet it. I think that’s how the new Star Wars saying goes.
Just a short few weeks after the release of the last episode, Telltale is back to close out its Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy season with Don’t Stop Believin’. After leaving themselves in a tough spot at the end of the last episode, the Guardians need to quickly rally before the galaxy is lost to yet another maniacal threat.
