Life is Strange Episode 5 Review (PS4)

The final episode of the Life is Strange picks up just moments after the eye opening conclusion of the previous episode in which we find our protagonist, Max Caulfield, in her most dangerous and vulnerable position yet.

Tales of Zestiria Review (PS4)

How do you begin to talk about a game as big and complex as the Tales series? Tales of Zestiria is the newest game in the JRPG series of twenty years. Much like the Final Fantasy games, each Tales game is its own story with a contained story. In Tales of Zestiria we follow the story of the Shepard as he begins his journey to fight the Lord of Calamity. Sounds easy, if the fate of the world weren’t riding on your shoulders with the choices and decisions that have to be made for the greater good of everyone, including those who oppose each other.

Old school style games are on the rise! We see a birth of a new breed of spectacular pixelated games, with top titles being Shovel Knight and the Shantae series among others.

Life Is Strange Episode 4 Review (PS4)

The previous episode of Life Is Strange hit many high notes and ended with a shocking cliffhanger, which left me eagerly anticipating the next installment. Right off the heels of the events surrounding the last episode, Max Caulfied is left to deal with the dire consequences of her actions. Using her newly gained time travel powers, she chose to travel back in time to prevent a tragic event from taking place, in hopes of acquiring a more preferable future. While she was successful in preventing the unforeseen accident, another tragedy befell one of her closest friends as a result, which finds her immediately regretting her decision. Pressure is mounting and emotions are at an all time high, as our protagonist not only has to find a way to undo her time travel fiasco, but she also has to find out who is behind the terrible wrongdoings surrounding her school, and figure out the best way to warn everyone of the eventual climate disaster heading straight to her city. So did this episode build on the solid one before it, or is this an unfortunate misstep?

Batman: Arkham Knight Review (PS4)

Batman is a comic book icon and one of the most well-known symbols in the entertainment medium. There have been many attempts to encapsulate the essence of the Dark Knight on both the big screen and in video games. While many attempts at creating a successful game failed, one studio rose above all the failures to give us the Batman: Arkham series. Rocksteady games has been known for their work on the Batman: Arkham series, and it has been a hit with both fans and newcomers alike.
