Abstract: When you hear the term 'videogame tie-in', or 'TV series collaboration', or even mention of the station 'SyFy' the first thing that springs to mind isn't going to be 'groundbreaking classic' - unless you happen to like Highlander spin-offs. Of course a...
Abstract: PlayStation 3I try my best to steer clear of franchise games. In truth, Injustice and Arkham are the only two games I feel have any real merit. So when I heard about the show Defiance and learned they would also be putting out a game, I initially opted...
Abstract: CommentReviewing Defiance, a new third-person shooter MMO from Rift developer Trion, reminds me why reviewing an MMO around or shortly after launch is generally a waste of time. There’s a lot of things that I really enjoy about the game, but there’s al...
