Actually I found Tommy to be a better representation of Native Americans than I would have expected from a medium as immature as video games. Even the voice actor Michael Greyeyes (a Plains Cree) was impressed by the thought and design put into his character, moving him away from the stereotypes found in other mediums. Hell the fact that they actually got a Native actor to voice him is pretty progressive to what we got with The Lone Ranger this year.

I hope the sequel ends up coming out, but given that game's past history I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a little while.

I've been playing some Vice City the last few nights. Doing a few missions but mostly causing havoc and just driving jamming to the epic soundtrack.

Def wanna pick up GTAV when the price drops a bit, gotta be a cheap gamer sometimes nah mean

Hell yea, cheap gamers unite!

I want to get on a one year lag time at least. As is I buy probably 3 old games and 3 new per year; I'm also a captain o the high seas.

Beyond Two Souls is so sweet. I love that two people can play with one person using a controller and the other person using a tablet or smart phone from an app.



I try to stop playing Sims 3 and they pull me back in with this new expansion.

You know those greedy bastards have to crank out expansions until the very end even though Sims 4 is right around the corner.



I might actually get that xp.

Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves

The most Canadian video game I have ever played... based solely on the fact that it's the only Canadian game I've ever played. It's kind of a strange animal because it's three game styles in one, but they all blend together quite nicely. During the day it's a strategy game, as you place traps around your property to help defeat the onslaught of wolves that attack you during the night. During the night the game plays more like a tower defense game like Orcs Must Die, however much more challenging. After defeating enemies you gain money and experience which you then use to buy upgrades to your weapons, clothing, and buy new items to use. It sounds a little complex at first, however the tutorial is mixed in with the game quite well and does a good job of explaining what to do while still allowing room for errors to learn from later on. The game also has a really nice bluegrass/ Irish folk soundtrack with lots of violin and banjo that really sets it apart from other games. The graphics are okay with a more cartoon -inspired aesthetic like from Orcs Must Die or World of Warcraft. The story is okay so far, co-written by Canadian author Bryan Perro, but I'm more intrigued by the strategy and gameplay elements. The only major detractor is the voice acting, which I think the studio should have just done away with in order to use that funding towards polishing up the other gameplay mechanics.

Overall this is a pretty good little indie game from this year and definitely worth your time if you're interested in strategy games.

Haha hell yeah I very rarely buy games brand new, or at all really anymore. The last game I bought day of at 60$ was Dead Space 3. And before that it was Mass Effect 3.

The Wolf Among Us

Highly regarded Vertigo comic series Fables is getting the Walking Dead treatment from the chaps over at TellTale Games and if you liked that gaming series you definitely need to check out this. Great storytelling, voice acting, and music with some interesting detective elements that rival those found in L.A. Noire. While I did notice some performance issues on the Xbox 360 version, it is the cheapest at $14.99 USD for the season pass or $4.99 per episode as opposed to the flat $25 for PC.
