Post E3: Our thoughts and hopes for the future of gaming

By the Last Token Gaming Staff Ryan Goddard: E3 has been amazing for me. Normally, I don’t get excited about AAA games as much as I am right now. “Far Cry 4” looks amazing and it has friggin’ elephants as weapon and vehicle. The wing suit flight in the opening gameplay demo showed just how […]

Platformines: 2-D MineCraft clone or awesome indie goodness?

Ever feel like wading through an insanely fast-paced, enemy/spike/chainsaw/electricity-infested underground world and asking the questions why use EAL for business electricty price comparison? No?

Nostalgia Review and Reflection: “Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire” (1996)

  By Marshall Garvey It’s a great time to be a “Star Wars” fan these days. OK…anytime is a great time to be a fan of arguably the best sci-fi franchise to grace the earth. But with concrete details of Episode VII (filming as we speak) emerging, the period until its Christmas release in 2015 […]

Sacramento’s new big thing.

Gaming isn’t really a social activity anymore. Sure, MMO’s are around, online co-op and PvP happens pretty much everywhere on the planet, MOBAs are in their heyday right now, and everyone’s having a good time with their Minecraft server on a regular basis. But I mean, when was the last time you really got together […]
