Backlog Quest: Day 0 – The Adventure Begins

Dear Journal, Today I realized I have a problem. How did this all begin anyway?  I suppose I have Cheap Ass Gamer to blame, at least in part.  At what point does a deal on a video game literally become so good that you can’t resist it?  Well, apparently, for me that point doesn’t take much. I mean, how did […]

Review: They Breathe – A Breath of Fresh Air

They Breathe is ultimately a game about swimming to the bottom of a mysterious body of water and avoiding the various obstacles that stand in your way.  That is seriously underselling it though.  In fact, They Breathe is hard to describe, not because the game is overly complicated or even atypical (though it is atypical), but because in giving away […]

Hi.  My name is Briana Lawrence and I — deep breath — am a Naruto fan.  Well, that’s not entirely true.  I’m more of a recovering addict.  My fangirl mind has become exhausted with the series and, recently, I haven’t felt the excitement I use to feel oh so many years ago back when Naruto was a wee little lad […]

Review: Jurassic Park – The Game

  Life will find a way.  Whether you are referring to the constant biological urge all living things on the planet share to not only survive but to produce the next generation or the constant desire to milk a popular franchise for all it is worth, this statement rings true.  Jurassic Park is one of those franchises, even today there […]

Review: The Darkness II

Jackie Estacado is carrying a dark secret deep inside him, literally.  Since before the beginning of time, before there was light there was simply The Darkness and The Darkness doesn’t much care for the light.

Review: Soul Calibur V

Soul Calibur is a franchise that I’ve been invested in for years. The characters. The story. The fighting and weapons. The cheap ring-outs — I’m looking at you, Nightmare. The chance to create fighting game versions of characters I love — why yes, that is Grell Sutcliff from Black Butler — Kuroshitsuji for the Japanese savvy. With the recent release of part five of the main series (not counting the side games on PSP and wii) the excitement made my very soul, well… burn!
