A Single Aspect - Tomb Raider and the Plight of Video Game Heroes

In this article, D. Bethel investigates how the new Tomb Raider pushes video game protagonists forward because it treats Lara Croft as a human being, but doesn't ignore that she is also a woman.

Marvel Heroes: Hands-On First Impressions

We got a chance to play some Marvel Heroes at PAX East this year, ahead of its June launch. Inspired by Diablo, it's easy to see this free-to-play game garnering a large audience in the coming months.

Divekick: Hands-On First Impressions

A two-button fighting game sounds like absolute nonsense. And, in a way, it totally is. Divekick began life as a joke, and has now become a proper game. A game that was attracting fairly large crowds at PAX East, to boot. We had a blast with Divekick, and here's why!

Assassin's Creed IV: Hands-Off Impressions

We got a look at Assassin's Creed IV today at PAX East! While it was a lot of footage you've probably already seen, there was a fair amount of new gameplay shown to the crowds, hungry for more hot assassin action!

Hands-Off First Impressions: Saint's Row IV

Wow. That's all we can say. We recently got a hands-off demo of Saint's Row IV at Pax East 2013, and we were in stitches. Deep Silver is certainly allowing Volition to continue the crazy with the Next Great Sequel in the Saint's Row franchise.

There Are No Heroes Here: Tomb Raider Review

 
It’s not often that a videogame delivers on nearly every single promise it makes, but Tomb Raider goes a long way towards doing so. Tomb Raider is fantastic. There’s really no other way to describe it. Crystal Dynamics has crafted one of the greatest games of this generation, and in doing so, has resurrected the once-forgotten Tomb Raider franchise to incredible new heights.

Dark Souls: Rekindling the Flame

As gamers sometimes we go through a period where nothing we play enthralls us like it used to. I've been through it several times myself over the years. In fact I'm in one of those periods now, I have been for a few months. In my excitement about Resident Evil 6, I put all of my hopes into that game, believing in its ability to finally be the RE game this generation deserved. It failed me. And afterwards I got into a funk, nothing seemed to interest me much anymore, it all felt like idle time being wasted. But something recent happened...something that finally got me thinking about a game, and interested in it.

I rekindled a bonfire in Dark Souls.
