Echoes of Aetheria is Launching On January 15th | MOUSE n JOYPAD
JRPGs are making a comeback, and as a fan of the genre, I’m glad to see its triumphant return. Sure, it tends to feature many of the same aspects and systems from the heyday of the SNES, but I don’t see shooter fans complaining about successful tropes being recycled. While there are a lot of lazy and simplistic entries out there, there are a few diamonds in the rough worth checking out. Well f...[Read More]

GALE’S GAME OF THE YEAR NOMINATION
As far as I’m concerned, The Witcher 3 more than delivers everything required for it to become a game of the year. Not only does the title improve on virtually every area its predecessors had already iterated upon, but it also sweeps the floor with its competition in most regards. It’s a devastatingly huge and sprawling RPG world in which it’s so easy to get lost in for over a hundred hours it’s n...[Read More]
GAMERS VS. CENSORS
Despite being the principal consumers in a global market worth $83.6billion as of 2014, the value of which is expected to increase to $113billion by 2020, gamers are relatively powerless when it comes to shaping policy or politics. People know about us but the Chancellor is highly unlikely to consider PSN customers in his next budget and it would surprise me if the guys at Valve had a direct line ...[Read More]
JORDAN’S GAME OF THE YEAR NOMINATION
I don’t think it would be a bold statement to suggest that 2015 was a great year for video games. No matter what console you owned, there was a bit of something for everyone. Hell, even Wii U got a handful of games that might now solidify spending the money to buy the console. Though, I’m going to go on a bit of whim here and say that 2015 saw the best conglomerate of releases since probably 2010 ...[Read More]

Rainbow Six Siege Friend Referral Program | MOUSE n JOYPAD
How much do you hate your friends? Do you sometimes feel like shooting them in the face, but can’t do that because, well, you’re not a crazed murderer? Perhaps you could take the best of both worlds and have them play a high-end first-person shooter with you, where you could have fun taking down their kidnapping asses without any serious repercussions?
