As we approach the next iteration of Dungeons & Dragons, more and more players are starting to ask themselves a very important question: Do I stick with D&D or switch to something else? Once upon a time, such a question was silly. Yes, there’s always been a number of tabletop roleplaying games to choose from. But the majority of them...
About a year ago, I posted a review for a rather quirky FPS game called Serious Sam: The First Encounter. As someone who has played a number of classic FPS titles, I found myself both entertained but also largely puzzled with the game. Well, the time has finally come for me to check out the next chapter in the Serious...
Any time I see a new coffee sitting on the shelves of my local store, it is almost impossible for me to resist picking it up and giving it a try. I’ve been doing better lately (which is why there have been fewer reviews). But when I saw a new offering from Black Rifle Coffee Company, I had to give...
Doing these themed “special project” reviews is a treat. As many of my readers know, my current review project is a focus on late 90’s/early 2000 RPGs. My love for role playing games is well known. But, when you’re young and experiencing all of the things that life has to offer at that age, things like gaming often take a...
It is an interesting time to be a Star Wars fan. It seems like every time you turn around there’s a new announcement regarding the franchise. In the last month alone, Disney has announced a brand new Star Wars film set after the events of Episode IX and it will highlight the character of Rey and her attempt to rebuild...
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of campaign settings. While it’s true that I spend most of my time in the Forgotten Realms, I do have grandiose plans to one day create my own gameworld. For this reason, I’m always certain to pick up and explore any new campaign settings that hit the market. For this reason, when I...
A little over three years ago I played through and reviewed all of the console titles in the Contra Anniversary Collection. In case you’re unfamiliar with this compilation, it includes the first five console games in the Contra series as well as the original arcade Contra title. But if you think that collection encompasses every Contra game there is to...
This is a D&D product review that I’ve been putting off for some time. The reason for my delay is simple, when this new D&D Starter Set was released last autumn, it was supposed to signify a shift in tone for the hobby. What I mean by that is this, WotC had already announced the next version of D&D. They...
I’ve reached an important milestone in my RPG playthrough project. Today I’m going to talk about a game that, for many years, was an extremely elusive JRPG for those of us in the west; the fabled Seiken Densetsu 3 – or as it is now called, Trials of Mana. As you may have guessed, this is the third entry in...
Let’s cut right to the chase, the book I’m going to talk about today focuses on a subject that’s become rather taboo in our hobby; devils and demons. The book in question is The Book of Fiends. For me, one of the most fascinating concepts in all of Dungeons & Dragons is the mythical war between the powers of good...
