One of my early entries to this column said that every video game needed a story. Now I’m back to give you the opposite position: Video Games don’t need stories!

I cannot say I have ever been a huge fan of the Hitman franchise; I was not a fan of previous installments of the series on console, and I absolutely despised the big screen approach. However, something intrigued me by this new Hitman title that has launched on PS4 and Xbox One. Whether it was the developers constantly reminding the public that this was a different type of Hitman game, or if it was the fact that the company was…

Bravely Second, Square Enix’s upcoming rpg for the 3DS, will be coming out next month. Ahead of that, Square released a demo for the game. The demo is titled Bravely Second: The Ballad of the Three Cavaliers and features a story that can’t be found in the full game. How is this demo and is it worth downloading? Here are my thoughts! I wasn’t sure what to expect with the Bravely Second demo. I was hoping that it would be…

Well March Madness fans and fans of the un-dead, some big updates are on the way from the developers behind Rocket League.
