Game On
Paige FTW: The Best ‘Game of Thrones’ Is Mobile
The true mark of a successful franchise is its ability to translate that success to other platforms. Game of Thrones, cultural juggernaut that it is, has done … OK by that front. It’s not perfect.
Bringing survival horror to the open world
Days Gone is defined by a number. It’s the time that that the protagonist, Deacon St. John, has been apart from his wife — 730 days and counting.
Paige FTW: What Brings Us Together
At this precise cultural moment, there are two things that matter: Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones. All else gives way before these two titans of pop culture. The whole of the internet is devoted to discussing, parsing and speculating what will happen next or why this happened or what have you. I am no exception to this rule.
Here’s a nearly perfect controller for the PlayStation 4
Microsoft didn’t invent the pro-style controller, but the company did popularize it. The success of its Xbox Elite gamepad showed that demand was strong for a premium controller, one that had more customization options and features than a stock version.
Paige FTW: Lara Croft Fights Her ‘Shadow’
As usual, I’m about six months late to the party, but I finally got around to playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider last week.
Update serves as refresher course for all levels of fighting fans

Paige FTW: The Art Of The Celebrity Cameo
While the much-loved celebrity cameo is a staple of movies and television, it’s much harder to successfully pull off in a video game.
This Shooter Kills Bugs Dead
I think that the Earth Defense Force series is one of those games you either get or you don’t. You either understand what’s great about an arcade-style third-person-shooter that lets you blow up giant insects in a chaotic fervor, or we probably just don’t get each other and never will. I don’t think I’m alone in the sentiment either.
Paige FTW: In Defense Of ‘Advent Children’
The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII project — an ambitious undertaking by Square-Enix to milk as much money from its most successful Final Fantasy title — had its ups and downs.
This title turns 20 and lets players try to relive its past
Memory lane is a path fraught with pitfalls, and it’s especially treacherous for video games. Technology moves so fast and players experience so much that memories color the past too fondly.
