Our Game of the Year for 2016: DOOM
2016 was unusually contentious among the Gamer Professionals staff when it came to deciding our Game of the Year. Nearly every person had a different pick: only DOOM was nominated more than once. As it was too close to call, we held a runoff vote, which was even closer than the original nomination process. Ultimately,Continue reading “Our Game of the Year for 2016: DOOM”
World of Warcraft: Legion Review
Every time Blizzard releases a new expansion for World of Warcraft, the same old questions and theories make their rounds on the internet like clockwork. The most common, and dare I say the most ignorant of these is: “will X expansion save WoW?” I’ve always hated this question, not because I’m a fanboy (I am)Continue reading “World of Warcraft: Legion Review”
Ana’s a Blast; Competitive Overwatch Still Irritating
One of the most impressive things about Overwatch is how Blizzard has handled support play. Gliding around the battlefield as Mercy is anything but boring, especially when you pull off a massive resurrection and turn the tide of battle. Luring your less-than-observant opponents into a turret infested trap room as Symmetra never gets old either.Continue reading “Ana’s a Blast; Competitive Overwatch Still Irritating”
Corroded Civilizations: Gaming’s Fixation on Decay
Yesterday morning, as I watched the E3 stream of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, déjà vu simmered in my head.

Legacy of the Elder Star Review
It’s no question that the shump (shoot em’ up) genre is well-trodden. From its genesis in the late 70’s to the present day, side-scrolling shooters have had plenty of time to evolve. Early games like 1978’s Space Invaders laid the foundation for what would become a ubiquitous style in the 80’s, the golden age ofContinue reading “Legacy of the Elder Star Review”
DOOM Review (PC)
Reviewed with a mouse and keyboard at Ultra-Violence (hard) difficulty Id Software’s 2016 reboot of the classic DOOM series is defined almost entirely by one word: badass. In fact, the dictionary definition for badass should probably be amended to reference this game. Within the first 5 minutes of DOOM’s campaign, you’re already ripping and tearing likeContinue reading “DOOM Review (PC)”
