Dragon Age Combo Pack [2 of 2].


After a long time, we're finally wrapping up this combo pack. I haven't talked about Dragon Age II in a long time. Mostly because after I finished it, I jumped into other games while being obsessed with. Well, I'll get to that soon. Let's talk about the game a bit.

I don't really think there's a character I hated in my party. Merrill was annoying, but that's 90% because she's so damned hardheaded and can't listen to reason. Andy hates her, absolutely despises her, and wanted to subject her to the worst dialogue options as well as just leave her out of combat (if he could manage it). I didn't mind her so much, but damn. She's annoying.

Reclaim Your [Dis]Honour



Warning: I have no current interest in comparing Dishonored to Thief.
This is only amplified in the fact that I have little to no interest in completing Thief past my current place.

Now that that's out of the way, I want to say that I really liked playing Dishonoured. These days, I'm none too good with stealth games (-ahemMetalGear-), but it's because of my lessened proficiency that I enjoyed Dishonoured so much. Looting and complimenting missions, being a stealth assassins, using the powers of the Outsider—all of it combined into a really enjoyable experience.

I liked how each seemingly minor character has an impact on your story in some way if you choose to interact with them. I love the details in the wreckage of the world as well. The books lying around can give you insight into characters without directly saying who's being referred to. Bystanders can be just that or they can be your greatest leads.

Our #1 Soul Suspect



Another new game that I've had the benefit of checking out. It surprised me that Airtight Games has so recently shuttered its operations. It's honestly a shame, but here's a look into their most recent and final release.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is a game that honestly sort of popped up on me. You play as Ronan, a cop recently murdered almost out of the blue while on a case. He's a tattooed bad guy gone good gone ghoul with a someone dry sense of humour. While looking for his killer, you also trip up over another, very pertinent case: a series of murders perpetrated by the Bell Killer. Along the way, you meet a young, hardheaded psychic named Joy who's looking for her mother. As you can guess, your paths intertwine, and you have to put together the clues by communicating with the living and the dead.

Ready Your Bayonettas


So many things have happened since the last time I’ve written. I’m actually backed up on reviews (mostly clothing), and I really, really feel bad for not getting them out there yet. So to make up for it, let’s talk about an adventure I’ve undergone recently.

I’ve always been interested in this game. I’ve wanted to know what it was about, why people got so hype over it, and frankly what was the reasoning for her outfit. After prolonged intrigue and the official reveal of Bayonetta 2, I decided to finally delve into it and get a better understanding of it. The honest, first reaction I had to Bayonetta was “Whaaat the fuuuuck”.

This game is all kinds of loopy!
