Video Game Review: Game of Thrones, Episode 1

Anyone afraid that TellTale’s Game of Thrones would feel too far removed from the events of the show should have those fears dashed in the opening moments as House Forrester, the focal house of this side story, drinks wine just outside the Twins on the eve of Robb Stark’s march on Casterly Rock. Yes, the game opens at the infamous Red Wedding, and, as loyal banner men of House Stark, House Forrester loses plenty on that fateful night.

2014-15 Top 10 Fantasy Basketball Rookies

As we all know, Wiggins and his potential went first, and Parker went second to the Bucks. On paper, this looks like a perfect fit as Parker slides in as a starter and focal point of the offense from the get go. His offensive game is extremely polished, and he’s capable from scoring from anywhere on the floor. Parker is also an adept passer and capable rebounder, though he’s unlikely to play in the post all the time given Milwaukee’s collection of bigs that need minutes. Don’t go overboard with your expectations — he’s still a rookie after all — but 15 points and 7-to-8 boards a game seems doable.

Video Game Review: WWE 2k15

It’s been a trying year for World Wrestling Entertainment. It brought Batista back as a conquering hero only to watch fans react so negatively to it that Batista was turned heel and perennial underdog Daniel Bryan won the belt — only to get injured shortly after WrestleMania. CM Punk departed, Boo-tista cut his return short, Roman Reigns got hurt and Brock Lesnar put the WWE Championship into a months-long sleeper hold. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln…

Video Game Review: Grand Theft Auto V (PS4/Xbox One)

Visually, Grand Theft Auto V has been rebuilt, and the already excellent looking Los Santos has been taken to another level. The diversity of the locations, copious amount of detail work and uncanny hustle and bustle of NPCs makes this the definitive computer city. It’s now easier than ever to simply lose yourself in driving the streets and exploring the world — doubly true if you’re at all familiar with the real city of Los Angeles.

Review: NBA Game Time App (PS4)

A year ago, we checked out the NBA Game Time App with Broadband League Pass on the Xbox 360 and found it to be an uneven experience — due mostly to poor stability in the actual stream. This time we’re jumping to next-gen and checking out the other console by reviewing the app for the PlayStation 4. The cost remains unchanged from the premium pass (US$199 for all 30 teams), while the choice package (in which you select any five teams) has gone from US$140 to US$149.

Video Game Review: Just Dance 2015

If you’ve never played a Just Dance game before, the concept is simple: follow the moves being shown on the screen to the best of your ability and get scored for it. In that way it’s comparable to Guitar Hero or Rock Band, though here you’re actually performing the actions and not pressing coloured buttons on a guitar-shaped controller. As you’d suspect, the game skews young with lots of pop tracks, but it’s easy enough to be accessible to most ages.
