Hitman (2016): Episode Three: Marrakesh review
Hitman (2016) is my pick for the Game of the Year. This is a pretty high praise given the game has only released three out of its seven episodes. Nevertheless, each of the three settings have been...

Splinter Cell (novel) review
The Splinter Cell series by Ubisoft has about as much to do with Tom Clancy as I have to do with the proliferation of grimdark fiction. Which is to say, not much other than my name on a few works....

What We Do in the Shadows review

Vampire: The Masquerade: Redemption review
Vampire: The Masquerade: Redemption is an old game but it's still a reasonably fun one seventeen years after its release and I thought I'd share my opinion on it. It's basically a 3d combination of...
