REVIEW: Mafia 2

Mafia 2 is the long awaited follow-up to the 2002 PC turned 2004 Xbox game, Mafia. Rather than creating an open world experience a la Grand Theft Auto, the hallmark of Mafia was its focus on realism and telling a gripping, focused story. In the eight years since the original, the latest incarnation of this [...]

REVIEW: Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is my first exposure to the world of Lego videogames. The Indiana Jones and Batman source materials just weren’t enough to make me overlook the childish look and feel of the series. But the allure of working my way through the first four Harry Potter movies, even if they were [...]
