On World of Warcraft’s Chromie Time

Although the official name of this mechanic frequently forces me to resist the urge to make a joke combining it with the title of MC Hammer’s most famous song, I think it constitutes a wonderful addition to World of Warcraft. I’m referring…

David’s Retro Rewind – Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup

Something dawned on me a few days ago, folks. Aside from my piece on Midway Games’ 1995 title WrestleMania: The Arcade Game, every game I’ve covered for a Retro Rewind has belonged to either the Guitar Hero or Mortal Kombat franchises. Obviously,…

WoW: Shadowlands First Impressions Part 1

On Steam’s New Storage and Download Managers

Those among our readers who have opted into Steam’s beta client and its accompanying frequent updates have likely found a few new bells and whistles within Valve’s venerable digital distribution platform as of late. Thanks to another of those recent updates, whose…

David’s Retro Rewind: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

When I first started recording footage for this installment of Retro Rewind, I did so under the impression that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was by far the most critically-panned title in the entire Mortal Kombat franchise. It would seem that this…
