Hearthstone: Goblins vs Gnomes Review (PC)
Although Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft has been out over a year, the game has changed a lot since the version of the game from 2013. Blizzard Entertainment’s venture into the CCG (Collectable Card Game) genre was met with much skepticism by Blizzard fans when it was announced at PAX East 2013; I was one of them. There was also a little birdie in my head that kept telling me, “money grab.” Despite the birdie in my head giving me mixed signals, as soon as I started watching Twitch streams of early closed beta testers of Hearthstone, I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw and couldn’t wait to play it. The 2015 version, Hearthstone: Goblins vs. Gnomes is much different than the vanilla release version in 2013. Not only has Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft evolved as a game, but my opinion of it has as well. This is a very difficult game to judge, but now I feel a proper judgement can be made based off of Blizzard’s decision-making over the past couple years.

Tales From The Borderlands Episode 2 Review (PS4)
I’m huge fan of Telltale Games. They have a very solid track record and I have enjoyed the majority of the games they have released. I would be lying however, if I said I did not have any doubts on them developing a Borderlands Game. Fortunately, any worries or concerns I had were quickly put to rest once I got to complete the very first episode. Episode 1 was nothing short of amazing; All of the characters were diverse and very likable, the voice acting was excellent, the soundtrack was booming, the gameplay was very involved and intuitive, and the presentation was stellar. Outdoing the success of that episode with the next installment should prove to be a difficult task. Then again, the good folks at Telltale Games have proven themselves time and time again. So did Tales from the Borderlands episode 2 build on the momentum of the first episode, or did the pressure prove to be too much?

Crypt of the Necrodancer Review (PC)
Many times a game has come to life by asking, “What if we take this genre, and that genre, and mash them together?” Though always unique, rarely does this method produce a top shelf game. But one day the stars aligned and the world was given the gift of Crypt of the Necrodancer. A rhythm based, rogue-like, dungeon crawler that’s executed near to perfection; simple, fun, and exciting, with everything a great rogue-like needs, not to mention an awesome soundtrack. So jump in the dungeon and step to the beat, for there be monsters here to defeat.
