The Daily Quest: Is Spielberg Right for "Ready Player One"?

Now that Steven Spielberg has been announced as the director for "Ready Player One", is he the right man for the job?? Personally, I am going to go with a big resounding YES. I know a lot of people talk about how he hasn't had very many great movies these days. If you think about the era of video games and pop culture that the book is about, Steven Spielberg is one of only a few people at the forefront of entertainment during that era.

Dragon Age: Inquisition: A Sneak Peek at the Jaws of Hakkon DLC

A Sneak Peek at the Jaws of Hakkon DLC

Four months after its original release and on very short notice, Bioware is providing us today the first DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition. In fact, the lack of any announcement beforehand is almost as surprising as the rather steep price of 15 Dollars, which makes it the most expensive story DLC in the Dragon Age franchise.

Archlord 2: A Tale of Two Grinds

Posted: 24 Mar 2015 12:59 PM PDT

A Tale of Two Grinds

This new iteration - Archlord 2 -- is set in the same setting as the previous version but in an alternate universe, sort of. I wouldn't worry so much about it because all of the lore and imagery of the game is really just a wrap around a series of button-pushing mechanics that only become half-fun once the player has spent hours and hours grinding bad, level-based quest after another (trust me, you won't even look at what the quests say, they are that repetitive.)

The Secret World: Enhanced New Player Experience First Impressions

Enhanced New Player Experience First Impressions

When a new MMO launches, sometimes it seems like the "new player experience" wasn't very high on the priority list for some developers. Which, in the grand scheme of things, makes sense to a certain degree. While every player starts at the bottom and has to go through the new player experience at least once, the reality is that the vast majority of gameplay takes place once a character has reached max-level, otherwise known as the "end game."
