Doom & Gloom: A Darkest Dungeon Review
Have you ever thought: "Well jeez, Dark Souls is a lot of fun but I wish it could have a baby with XCOM and could have a wicked awesome art style." or even if you are just a plain ol masochist, Darkest Dungeon is the game for you! From Red Hook Studios comes a game that holds no punches in their dungeons, tips the scale against you from the start and some how you, as the player, can not get enough. Darkest Dungeon is a dungeon crawling RPG filled with various classes, abilities, equip-able items, and my personal favorite: A stress meter. Yes. You read that right, your party of adventures can and will go bat shit crazy down in the dungeons as they fight against everything unnatural, discover horrors untold and find themselves victim to various diseases and traps.Knighting Nostalgia: A Shovel Knight Review
Knighting Nostalgia: A Shovel Knight Review Most games these days are all about state of the art graphics, modern music, and complex controls. The olden days of the classic game are slowly being overshadowed by games like Call of Duty and Skyrim, with their realistic gameplay and complicated abilities. But yet, the retro, indie gaming world still has a place within our hearts. And even though many games are coming out that defy this retro world, some actually embrace it. Enter, Shovel Knight.
DC Heroes arrive onto TV! Are they worth watching?
Flash! Arrow! Gotham! We haven't seen a live action DC comics television show since Smallville back in 2001 to 2011. Even during it's reign we were exposed to the first instance of DC super heroes appearing on the most popular show and then appear on their own shows later on. During Smallville we saw two other DC shows attempt to make it on air, both Birds of Prey and Aquaman. Unfortunately, one had been cancelled early on and the other simply did not even make it past the pilot episode.

Finding my phone dying within only hours of use, slow loading times whenever I used apps and an overall sub-par experience, I decided to bite the bullet and get myself a new phone. Lady luck seemed to have heard my frustrations and granted me the chance to review Moto X (2nd Generation). Never one to look a gifted horse in the mouth, I jumped at the opportunity.
Pure style. Pure performance. The new Moto X is highlighted by a metal frame and genuine materials—including wood and leather—that you choose to match your style. Enjoy a more pure and intuitive Android™ experience. Simplify life with Motorola apps that put your voice and gestures in control.
Review: Banner Saga
First Impression Like many of my fellow Steam users, when a steam sale occurs, we whip out our wallets and spend what little money we have in our bank accounts. As for the types of games I do choose to buy, I attempt to purchase interesting games with unique art styles. Which brings me to The Banner Saga. The game looked incredible. From the sample images provided by steam, it looked to be a turn based, grid combat system. Being a lover of Final Fantasy Tactics, I was sold. Not only was the art work great, the combat system something I enjoyed but looking closer I could see some manner of horned creature as well as some sort of armored foes. Needless to say I was intrigued by all of this and had to wonder what the story line could be.
