The very first BarCraft Melbourne was an amazing success. Dong Rae Gu and Genius put on a great spectacle and the Melbourne crowd were exceptional.

Telltale Games released the first episode in their highly anticipated new game yesterday, The Walking Dead. And it did not fail in the expectation. The game is beautifully rendered and keeps the faith with the art and story direction, Robert Kirkman’s influence oozes throughout the game. The whole game plays out like an extended TV episode. I am big fan of the comics and the TV series, and I haven’t been let down. The game play is intuitive and you [...]
