Westwood’s Spiritual Successor Strategy gamers of the early Millennial generation will remember Westwood and its classic Command and Conquer series. After Westwood’s dissolution into Electronic Arts, the original team departed and created Petroglyph, which produced titles such as Star Wars: Empire at War, and more recently, Grey Goo. With the modern industry’s fascination with remastered throwbacks in mind, […]
Fighting games in 2016 were full of ups and downs. From the big focus for the esports scene to Street Fighter V’s numerous problems, it’s been a roller coaster for the genre. With developers focusing their efforts more to the tournament level crowd, have fighting games lost their identity? We seen fighting games launch with […]
So 2016, that was some year right? In the world of video games, some surprised and caught my attention more. Others however did fail to rise up though (cough Street Fighter V cough). One popular genre broke out from the norm and we got a glimpse of the future with VR. Some would say 2016 […]
I think it’s safe to say that many people are glad to finally get 2016 behind them. 2016 has also been a difficult year for gaming. As I was constructing my list, I didn’t expect to see what made it in the end. A lot of games I was expecting to make it to the […]

2016 came at the heels of shattered expectations from preceding years. From immersive, lifelike simulators such as Elite: Dangerous and all-time legend Undertale, indie games and small developers raised the bar well above most AAA competition, which has relied mostly on a mix of remastered classics and small incremental changes to running sequels. I am not afraid to voice […]
And so 2016 comes to an end. It’s been a strange year of gaming for me. Coming up with this list made me realize I haven’t played a single AAA title that came out this year. Nope. 2016 has been Allie’s year of iOS and indie games. So if you’re looking for something to play […]
The gaming world was itching for more Marvel vs. Capcom and they got their wish at the PlayStation Experience earlier this month. The Infinite “reboot” was announced for a 2017 release, but also a PS4 port of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 came out that same night. Amidst all the hype that day, I bought that port […]
