The Blood of Dawnwalker: A Vampire RPG With a Clock
Human by day, vampire by night, 30 days to save your family. Witcher bones, great combat, dated visuals. Easy recommend.

What each verdict means
Certified Banger
An all-timer for me. I'm still thinking about it, and I'd start a second run right away.
Straight Heat
Really good. A few rough spots, but I'd tell anyone with the time to play it.
Valid
Solid. Fun while it lasted, nothing I'll remember next year.
Unseasoned
Interesting ideas, but the gameplay, polish, or pacing got in the way.
Respectfully Nah
Not for me. I either bounced off it or finished out of stubbornness.
Two Pack of Ass
Don't buy it. It wasted my time and my money.

The Disc Is Dead, Part Two: You're Fighting the Wrong War
Sony doubled down, a petition hit six figures, and a protest got organized. None of it is aimed at the right target.

The Disc Is Dead. Let's Talk About What That Actually Means.
This isn't a Sony story. This isn't a console war. This is the whole industry showing its hand at the same time.

007 First Light — A Bond Origin Story That Earns the Tux
My thoughts on IO Interactive's Bond origin story. A great marriage of Uncharted, Hitman, and Bond. Easy recommend.

Summer Game Fest Didn't Miss Much
Geoff kept the lights on. The games kept them burning. A packed show, a few surprises, and an A- that was earned.

This Was a Good Xbox Show. The Exclusivity Thing Is Still Annoying.
A good show from a company still figuring out what it wants to be. The games were real. The exclusivity calls were not.
Games
PlayStation Showed Up This Summer. Mostly.
20 games, 7 new reveals, one very confusing God of War closer, and a solid B grade.

Sony Has Always Had A Problem
77 million accounts. 20 years of breaches. And a vulnerability that can take everything you own with just an email address.
