Return of Ten Books, A Thousand Pages: Part One

I don’t want to run a halfway decent idea into the ground, but I had so much fun with the “Ten Books, A Thousand Pages” project (Part One is here, and Part Two here) that I had to do it again. So I present The Return of Ten Books, A Thousand Pages, wherein I pick

Review: Injustice Gods Among Us (XBox 360)

Over time the fighting game genre has grown from an arcade clique to a world wide tournament.

Bioshock: Infinite Review

We all knew Bioshock: Infinite was going to be something special. The question was whether it would be a flawed-but-unquestionably-incredible title like the original, or a flawed-but-slightly-lackluster effort like Bioshock 2.
