More Thoughts From Me #15: Graphics Not Included
Before there was graphics, there was the Text Adventure. One part reading, one part imagination, text adventures are just a novelty now but they are a really important part of gaming history. Let me take you on a trip back in time… Once a upon a time, there were no fancy graphics (actually, there were no graphics at all). There wasn’t even gameplay as we know it now. There were no video game consoles; only the PC. I wasn’t alive…

Activision Launching New Ghostbusters Game in July
If you cannot get enough of Ghostbusters - really, who can get enough, am I right?! - then perhaps you might be interested in Activision's upcoming Ghostbusters game for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. In this cooperative title, you and a band of three friends will roam around New York City removing the ghostly presence, one-by-one. There seems to be a heavy emphasis on cooperative couch play, something only indies are really pushing for now a days. If for no other reason, I hope this AAA game will be the driving force behind a resurgence in couch cooperative play. To the industries credit, more and more titles are bringing this back.
More Thoughts From Me #14: Stop With The Rumors Already!
” Hey listen…I’ve heard that the NX is…”. On the internet, anybody can say anything they want. They can tell you the truth and they can lie too. Oh boy they can lie. People especially love to make up rumors about stuff that they love or think they’ll love. They do that with things they hate too. When it comes to video games, this is pretty common. The worst part though is that fan sites will report these rumors…. Rumors…
Adam’s Venture Origins First Impresions
Adam Venture's Origins might not look the best, and may have some issues that make it a bit rough around the edges, but it does an excellent job of mixing adventure and puzzles in a title that is sure to impress. If you have longed for a puzzle game on Xbox One, and can't seem to find the desire to work through some of what Telltale is offering, I strongly recommend Adam Venture's Origins.

Pirate Quantum Break to become…a Pirate?
Screens have surfaced showing off main Quantum Break character Jack Joyce sporting an eye patch with a skull and crossbones. First impressions by some have been that someone has found a way to create mods for Quantum Break, but the real situation is both funny and incredibly informative. The developers themselves have added this nifty touch to their game to highlight individuals who have pirated the game. This should make for some interesting comments on some people's Twitch or YouTube streams.
Quantum Break Releases Today
Quantum Break launches on Xbox One and PC today. we loved the title, enough to give it a 9/10. This is a great game, and unique in its presentation. Between the various acts you play through, counter balanced by the numerous TV episodes you will watch, really makes for a gripping and entertaining experience. While the game boasts choice, we do feel the maximum number of times you will play it is twice. However, both times feel different, making the 20 hour adventure completely worth it!
