The first Bioshock game was released in 2007 with plenty of well-deserved praised. An eerie touch across the game, with enemies dropping from the ceilings, others running around or hiding, and sometimes scaring the hell out of you in the process. That year, I wasn’t too impressed with anything being released, but I remember a [...]

When I started this series, I stated that my goal was to experience as many different types of games as I possibly could in an effort to become worthy of the title “gamer”. I’ve covered quite an array of different games thus far, with many more to come. However, it seems to me that, even though the [...]

Being a long time Risk player (I own the game and played many of its variants), I have to say I was hesitant to pick up this game based on the synopsis. After playing for a few hours, my opinions drastically changed and I can now say this is one game worth the $10.
Now Risk [...]

It was a dark and stormy night as the four adventurers made their way up the hill from the small parking area where they had left their cars. The storm front that had engulfed the setting sun earlier in the evening now lashed out with a bolt of lightning that illuminated the house atop the hill before them.

Just the other night, I was having a discussion with my wife about my gaming habits (read discussion as “receiving a firm, but fair, reprimand concerning the amount of money I spend on little plastic and metal men.”). It got me thinking about the good old days when a board game and a few friends used to be good enough to keep [...]
