I’m biased but my cousin Mo has written so much good stuff that she says this new boss is the best she’s ever written, you best believe it.

I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.

I know a demo isn't indicative of the final game, but it's supposed to sell you on it. Based on the demo then, the new Hellraiser is the most eye-rolling "this must go so hard if you are 14" game of the year.

It's bittersweet that the game industry is rapidly disintegrating while this year is a staggeringly great year for gaming. While great games will always come out, the cynical part of me makes me feel like now is a swan song of sorts.
