Battlefield 1: Nothing Is Quiet On The Western Front
Tim mows down a trench full of soldiers from a zeppelin gunner’s nest. I blow up a plane mid-air using a tank shell. A horse gallops by at full trot, both it and its rider aflame. These are just a … Continue reading

Inside: Limbo++
Two weeks ago I returned from work to find Tim Lee sitting on the couch playing Inside. Joining him on his merry adventure, we spent three nights powering through the main story plus the game’s hidden content. Thanks Tim. You … Continue reading
Valiant Hearts: Surprise, It’s Not An FPS About WWI
