Synopsis: Soul Calibur IV maintains the core gameplay of the Soul Calibur series and features a fun (if unintuitive) character creation system, but misses out on a number of features that would have improved the title overall.

YouTube of the Week: Let me tell you about my dire shark game Edition
Hey, this board game that the esteemed Tom Vasel reviews here sounds pretty good, and it’s about a shark the size of a person chasing and biting limbs. How’s that for a coincidence that this game would have a video review posted during Dire Shark Week?
Review: “Treasure of Talon Pass”
Synopsis: “Treasure of Talon Pass” is a an adventure for 4e D&D designed to take 2nd level characters to 3rd level. It is a fairly typical dungeon crawl that works well enough but also does not take advantage of environments and non-combat elements enough to make it more interesting than a string of combats. Production: […]
Review: Braid
In short: Braid is an excellent game. It successfully integrates all aspects of game making into one cohesive unit with a mature theme. Even with the $15 price tag, it is worth downloading. I read a bit about a game called Braid on Penny Arcade the other day. I tend to agree with Tycho about […]

Report Card: Space Marine Units (Part 1)
With Warhammer 40k entering its 5th edition as of this past Friday, one chapter of the game’s history comes to an end, while another begins. As I thought about the past edition I decided it would be good to take one last look at all of the units in the Space Marine Codex. There are always […]
