Those Age Old Questions Growing up in the late 90’s, you probably remember a time before the two Matrix sequels muddied the waters of the franchise. The original Matrix film struck an entertaining chord while exploring age old philosophical questions. Plato’s allegory of the cave and other facet’s of the Matrix narrative were not new to me when I first […]
We seen Playground Games take the Forza Horizon series to Colorado and parts of Europe, but their third game is their biggest and best locale yet.

Right from the start (well, after a full-sized tutorial), […]
It’s August. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. Children are playing catch in the park. The outdoors is wide and beautiful… So, I’m going to go play some Batman. Who wants to go outside anyway? The first episode of the Batman Telltale Series is out today. It’s subtitled Realm of Shadows. The title […]
