Blizzard Addresses WoW DDoS Attacks

Blizzard Entertainment has once again found itself in a sticky situation. For the past few weeks, Blizzard’s game servers have been bombarded by frequent, severe Distributed-Denial-of-Service (“DDoS”) attacks. These attacks overload the game servers with huge amounts of illegitimate traffic, which means…

Sin Slayers (PC) Review

There’s an elephant in the room that I want to address right up front. Sin Slayers, as it originally existed when I received a review key for it years ago, appears to have since been removed from sale on Steam. The developer…

Spilled! (PC) Review

Eco-conservation themes aren’t new in gaming. Truthfully, Final Fantasy VII puts “Save the Planet” in big lights hanging over the party’s head for 100+ hours, and that’s just the original release. Spilled! is a more low-key affair, a simple experience based on…

Aethermancer (PC) Preview

In my ongoing quest to find a Pokémon game with actual effort put into it, I stumbled across the Aethermancer’s demo while browsing monster-collecting games on Steam. Developed by Moi Rai Games, the pixel art style immediately captured my interest and I…

GUNNAR Dume Blue Light Glasses Review

As a blue light glasses fanatic, I’m always eager to try out new products and options from GUNNAR, a leading name in the market. While I have a few pairs of GUNNAR glasses that I wear while gaming, I was seeking something…

Ruffy and the Riverside gets Launch Date

I have had my eye on Ruffy and the Riverside for a while now. The demo caught my attention during the Steam Next Fest, and while I didn’t get as much time with it as I wanted, it was definitely satisfying. Now,…

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is free on Epic

Monday, Ted Lasso is getting a 4th season, which some of us are excited and trepidatious about, Oblivion is supposedly getting a remake, for some reason, and Final Fantasy XIV has a new patch coming. Tuesday, Yooka-Replaylee has a gameplay trailer for…
