Tacoma Trailer I'm a big fan of first-person experience games, and this one looks really intriguing. It's being developed by Fullbright, the studio that made…

Sea of Thieves Trailer From the developers at Rare, this looks like an open-world, multiplayer seafaring game, where you can sail across the seas, engage in battles with other ships, and discover treasure. I thought they were going to show Yooka-Laylee, but this is really cool too!

Minecraft on Microsoft HoloLens Demonstration All I can say is...WOW. This is freaking awesome. Now it makes sense why Microsoft bought Mojang--it works so well with HoloLens. The part where the world materialized on the table blew me away.

Mirror's Edge: Catalyst Gameplay Trailer

Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst Gameplay Trailer

I haven’t played the original yet, but I’ve always thought it looked really cool. First-person parkour sounds dizzying but awesome, and the fact that the sequel will be a fully open-world is really promising. It also just looks gorgeous. Definitely on my radar! Watch the trailer on IGN here.

Star Wars Battlefront Multiplayer Gameplay Trailer If this trailer is anything to go by, the multiplayer is going to be insane. You can play as either the Rebels or the Empire, and it's basically a huge, all-out war.

Lazors (working title) Prototype Up!

Lazors (working title) Prototype Up!

I am happy to announce that I have uploaded a prototype that a partner and I have been working on this semester for our independent study on game design and development. It’s the first game we’ve made in Unity, and it’s supposed to kind of be like Portal in that you are in a testing facility trying to solve puzzles. However instead of a portal gun, you are armed with a laser that you can use to…

Bioshock Infinite Review

Perhaps this is a bit late—Bioshock Infinite was released back in 2013—but I only just finished it, and let me just say, all the hype surrounding it was totally warranted.
