E3 2017 Post-Expo Write-Up
By Patrick Taylor The Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, was rather interesting this year. From the Xbox showing off the overly technical Scorpio, which is officially called the Xbox One X, to the hellscape of Devolver Digital and to the shit show that was Bethesda's press conference, E3 seemed like it was going to be [...]

by Benjamin Fitzgerald In 1992, Interplay Entertainment released one of the greatest Star Trek games of all time, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary. This was the first Star Trek game that truly lived up to its lofty mantle. Each episode of Star Trek (save “The Menagerie”) was a self-contained adventure. 25th Anniversary follows suit by [...]

Retro Review – Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire (1990/2008, Sierra On-Line/AGDI Interactive, PC)
by Benjamin Fitzgerald It's been over a year since I wrote my review of the first Quest for Glory. I started Trial by Fire right after I beat the first game, but I never got very far in the third game, Wages of War. I decided it was time to finish the series, but [...]
