Rogue Friday: Controllers

Controllers. They come in many different shapes, and sizes, and more buttons than you can shake a stick at, but they weren't always so complicated. There was a time where they were so simple you had to be brain dead not to understand them.

Of course, the more technology grew, the more complicated games became to play, the more complicated the controllers became to use. Today, I'm going to go through the controls I had the pleasure of using.

Srs Bsns: Changing the Formula

For as long as games have existed, developers have experimented with different formulas to determine what works and what doesn't, and when a formula has outlasted its welcome they move onto something new to shake things up. But how do you decide when a formula is no long working and what to change it to?

Almost immediately the first thing to enter a person's mind when I bring this up is Call of Duty. Ever since the fourth game Call of Duty has been more or less the same game with few changes and it wasn't until even the fanbase was getting tired of it that they finally decided to shake things up. This gave us such titles like Call of Duty Ghosts and Advanced Warfare. In this instance I think most people would agree it was time for a chance, but what happens when there is no public outcry?

The Wolf Among Us (Spoilers)

Hello and welcome to ToriJ's Video Game Reviews. Today we'll be looking at another popular game by Telltale based on the Fables comic books created by Bill Willingham: The Wolf Among Us!

You play as Bigby, formerly known as the Big Bad Wolf, who has been appointed sheriff of Fabletown where all the fables have come to start a new life for themselves.

Bigby comes across a murder of one of the fables and begins an investigation that gets crazier, and crazier with each new episode. If it's anything like Phoenix Wright's cases I'm going to need a drink.

Top Ten RPGs

RPGs! They've been around in one form or another for a very long time. Not just in the video games medium, but board games, live action, and in the bedroom.

But we're not here to talk about all of that. We're here to count down the best of the best in the genre! So, without further ado let's begin!

A Child's First Handheld

If you've been following 'A Child's First' for the past couple of weeks you probably started to notice a pattern. I had a lot of Nintendo growing up.

Nintendo was a big part of a lot of gamers lives from the NES and onward and dominated the handheld scene from the start.

Nintendo is like the Disney of video games. We all loved them as a kid and harp on them as we get older. I wonder if that would make the Wii U the Disney's channel?
