The first days of Ingress

When Ingress surfaced some time ago, I wanted in. Not so much because of the usual "I'm there first" reasoning, but more because I had yet to find an ARG that …

Hotline Miami (PS3)

Destiny beta musings

Destiny never had its pedigree work for me. Back at the start of the century, Halo: Combat Evolved was a first-person shooter that finally had sensible …

Muramasa Rebirth (PSV)

Often when talking about games that are not so good, the following line is uttered: "It's such a repetitive game…" I've even used this phrase and its ilk …
