The Elder Scrolls Online Pre-E3 Hands-On

A few weeks prior to the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo, I was invited to join other journalists at a swanky Santa Monica hotel to preview Bethesda’s upcoming The Elder Scrolls Online (as well as some other titles, but those will be...

Blade Symphony Preview (PC)

One of my newest addictions has been Kickstarter.  I love seeing great ideas being pitched and developed by way of crowd funding. The feeling that I get when I pitch in on a great idea, see it being developed, then finally receive the final...

Bad Bots Preview (PC)

I’ve played console games since there were consoles to play them on.  Over the years, certain fond memories stick out in my mind. Memories like all-night gaming sessions on the weekend with a stack of rented games, a 12 pack of highly...
