King’s Quest Chapter 3: Once Upon a Climb Review
A return of King's Quest on modern consoles had me giddy since day one, and Chapter 1 of this series really got things started off on the right foot. While I enjoyed Chapter 2, the constant crisscrossing of the dungeon, coupled with the lack of direction and the trail-and-error approach to puzzles put a bit of a damper on my experience. Was Chapter 3: Once Upon A Climb going to mirror the great, nostalgic tone that made Chapter 1 so great, or was it going to continue the slog that was Chapter 2? Fortunately, it was actually neither. Chapter 3 of the latest King's Quest adventure takes the best parts of Chapter 1 and 2, and fixes a number of issues most mainstream media outlets have found with the game - pacing.

Performance Design Products makes a lot of great hardware for consoles and PC, and there really isn't any beating around the bush with them: we love there stuff. Sure, we haven't praised some items as much as others, but overall, they make an excellent product.

Hitman, at least this time around - previous games in the franchise pale in comparison - has done a brilliant job of combining stealth, strategy, and assassination.

Gears of War 4 is Incredibly Expensive. Is it worth it?
The pricing numbers for Gears of War 4 were announced this week, and yike! It is going to be expensive. According to Microsoft of Canada, the price of the standard edition in Canada will be 79.99 with the ultimate edition - the standard edition plus the season pass - will sell for 129.99. As a standalone, the season pass will cost 69.99. Obviously, all of these figures are Canadian. While Gears of War 4 is likely to be a big hit on Xbox later this year - the beta went surprisingly well in my opinion - is the entire package going to be worth 129.99?! I'm thinking not, sadly.
