A look at some of what is keeping Chris busy as he enters into the new year.

My favorite in the Assassin's Creed series thus far is different from everyone else's. What else is new?

The big bang to end 2012 on. Lots of options, big world to explore, and...well, an okay story.

The horrendous Spike TV Video Game Awards pull off a few surprises and encourage a lot of talk amongst the Podcasting crew.

After a long hiatus, the Downloathable Content podcast returns to discuss The Walking Dead by Telltale Games.

Almost the perfect stealth action game.

If only the gameplay were as notable as the art style.

Perhaps there's more to this franchise than trapping creatures in tiny balls and calling it "love".

What would you sacrifice for a brighter future?

A decent attempt at a Metroidvania, but simply not the right property for it.

A lesson in how not to design difficulty.

Transcends being a good Transformers game and into being a good game period.

Different from the original. Does some things better, but sadly loses some of what made the first so fun as well.

Sometimes a tiresome story that goes nowhere can help dull a fine game.

It's easier to quantify what is broken than what makes it fun.
