The Next Step in Transmedia – Quantum Break Review

·
In a time where the way we consume mass media is increasingly varied and hybrid, it’s no surprise that Remedy Entertainment tried to be innovative in its newest title. Quantum Break is a transmedia project come to life, integrating short live action episodes with gameplay. While the premise is original and exciting, the execution wasn’t as refined as I’d of hoped.

OPINION: The Democratization of Video Games in 2015

·
The gaming industry and community is constantly in flux and flow; ever changing the way it interacts with, and constructs itself through the medium. As technology and communication continuously develops and reinvents itself, one of the more beneficial and progressive transformations has been the democratization of video games. This has been an ongoing process for the last decade or so, but as part of the obligatory reflection that ensues at the year-end, I feel as if this movement to communize the industry really flourished in this year.

Halo 5: Guardians – A Paragon of FPS

·
Be warned: may be spoilerish. I’ve waited a couple of days after the game was actually launched to finish up my review. It’s now Wednesday and all I can say is: Halo is back, and if 343 can keep this up, then we’ll be reminded over and over why the Halo franchise is the powerhouse that it is.
