Last Token Gaming – the website that I and over 20 others have poured immeasurable amounts of love, passion, and work into – just turned five years old this past Thursday, June 14.

Microtransaction Mishaps – Horse Armor (“Oblivion”)
By Marshall Garvey “Microtransaction” seems more and more like a dirty word in gaming these days. All too frequently, the headlines are dominated by the latest news of companies swindling consumers, or releasing incomplete games that will lazily be patched in with overpriced DLC later on.

Spielberg Month Special Review – “Firewatch”/”Always”

Spielberg Month Review – The Adventures of Tintin (Xbox 360)
By Marshall Garvey There’s nothing quite like a good adventure to get the blood pumping. Outside of pre-1999 George Lucas and early-to-mid 2000’s Peter Jackson, no filmmaker has taken us for greater adventures than Steven Spielberg.
