The first big interactive narrative adventure of 2022 has arrived, and the title: Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong, is indeed a mouthful. The height of choice-driven video games is, arguably, Quantic Dream’s 2018 masterwork Detroit: Become Human, which is also an ungainly thing to say aloud. Regardless, that was four long years ago.

In an effort to be as fair as possible, this is less a “Top 10” list and more a list of games that I was able to play this year and heartily recommend. Despite being a big gamer, given that I specialize in movies and only have so much time to play video games (while […]

I haven’t been able to play as many video games as I would have liked to this year, but I have been incredibly happy to have gone through the The Walking Dead game. It is a video game by Telltale Games, which utilizes the point-and-click adventure game mold and has found the perfect property license […]
