Destiny: The Dark Below (Video Game Review)

Developer Bungie and publisher Activision have teamed up to launch the first DLC package for their hit game Destiny . The Dark Below packs plenty of additional content and has some fun encounters for players to take on in solo play or online multiplayer. Destiny already featured nearly endless hours of replay value, but The Dark Below gives fans fresh content to explore including an exciting final mission that will have players fighting desperately to survive an onslaught of overwhelming odds against numerous enemies and a dangerous final boss. The new storyline follows one of the world's most powerful warriors that survived the battles of the game's main campaign, as Eris Morn teams up with playable characters to fight their way to the deep caverns beneath the Moon in order to fight the entity known simply as Crota. The baddie was shortly referenced in the primary storyline, but the antagonist is much more involved in the new missions. Most of the missions and cutscenes...

Geometry Dash (Video Game Review)

Geometry Dash originally released for mobile devices back in August 2014, and a new port of the game has been brought to Steam for PC and Mac, though the new content comes with an increased price tag. Geometry Dash is a difficult endless runner that can be compared with the likes of the Bit.Trip Runner series or The Impossible Game with the object of each level being to make it from the left side of the map to the right while always being pushed forward by the game's momentum. The game rides a thin line between a tough difficulty setting while still remaining fair, and the result is a game that is easy to enjoy for fans of the genre that most gamers will know their feelings towards before ever downloading the title. For what it's worth, Geometry Dash has a good sense of progression that begins with some very intermediate levels that most gamers that have delved into the platform genre will be able to complete with relative ease. The game gets more difficult as players ...

The Witcher Adventure Game (Video Game Review)

The Witcher Adventure Game brings the popular tabletop game to tablets and other digital platforms to give players more adventures in the dark fantasy world starring Geralt of Rivia. The game is faithful to the tabletop RPG and will have players flipping cards and rolling dice rather than swinging swords, casting spells and setting traps. The Witcher Adventure Game offers fans that have yet to experience the board game a great new way to enjoy the game with AI opponents or other players online, though a few presentation issues keep the game from ever being super exciting when friends are not around to enjoy the game with. The Witcher Adventure Game will begin with a somewhat detailed tutorial experience for most players. The new game does a good job of providing a fun digital release that packs the same exciting gameplay of the board game of the same name, and the title provides good details on how to play and how to play the game on specific platforms. Though the basic rules of...

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor (Video Game Review)

Developer and publisher Blizzard Entertainment refuse to let go of their biggest franchise ever, though the newest expansion for World of Warcraft is more than simply a quick cash-in for the most popular MMORPG brand in the history of the video games industry. Warlords of Draenor adds tons of new content including vastly improved character models, new bosses, a level cap increase to 100 and customizable Garrisons. The new content is deep and a thrill to uncover for longtime fans, and the game's exciting opening cinematic will have players hooked from the first time the new expansion is booted up. Warlords of Draenor takes the lore of Warcraft and completely changes everything fans have come to expect from the series. The newest expansion sees Garrosh Hellscream change his destiny and travel through space and time in order to unleash the Burning Legion and the newly formed Iron Horde on an invasion of Azeroth. Sticklers for sticking with the original lore of Warcraft will f...
