Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall Review

Knife of Dunwall is the downloadable content for Dishonored that we’ve all been waiting for. Expanding Dishonored‘s story further, Knife of Dunwall tells the tale of Daud, the master assassin who took the Empress’ life and was part of the coupe d’état that put Corvo in jail and turned the city into further turmoil. The DLC begins as Daud starts to regret his actions, as life in Dunwall soon turns even worse for his merry band of darkly dressed masked killers, with former allies turning coats. His only hope of redemption is cutting an even bigger hole into the conspiracy that took place within Dunwall by crippling vital supply lines and contacting a mysterious figure only known as Delilah.

Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut Review

2010′s Deadly Premonition was certainly something else. It wasn’t a particularly modern looking game nor  was it very playable, but its colorful cast of characters and uniquely bizarre and twisting storyline made it a cult hit.

But, without going into spoilers, unlike its inspiration, there’s a definite end and (very) possible awe to Deadly Premonition in store by the time you’re...

Cognition: Episode 3 – The Oracle Review

Lots of episodic content tends to fall flat once you get close to their end. They either rush it along and lose their pace, or like in most cases, you’re likely uninterested by the time the last episode is out. The same can be said about games, due to how long it takes to develop and conclude a story in playable chunks. In Cognition‘s case, though, it’s been worth the wait. Episode 3 will leave you wanting for more by the time you’re done, as the series approaches its final chapter. Much like previous episodes, The Oracle relies in the smart use of Erica’s cognitive powers, like regression, which allows her to tap into another person’s memories, or being able to see into the past by finding particular items. The puzzle difficulty got a sizable increase for this episode. Her visions now take place in various...
