Eric Kravcik is a recent English graduate facing an economy many of his elders say he should be terrified of.  Horror stories aside, he initially enrolled in the Computer Science field and it took him three years to find out he didn’t like writing code before switching to the aforementioned field of study.  He believes we are at a very interesting moment in video game history where a rift is forming between the big budget titles, casual audiences and the independent scene.  While searching for a stable career he takes time to enjoy this new shift in the industry and can’t help but be excited for the future.

Dead or Alive: Dimensions

Fighting games seem to be making the most noise in the 3DS's rather lackluster launch line-up and it stems from the perfect marriage between fighter and level as a definition of depth.

Wii-U Impressions and Why It’s Okay to Forgive Nintendo

The problem with feelings of nostalgia is that they invoke such polar reactions. After all, when you feel let down by such a revered icon as Nintendo, it feels like an attack on your very childhood.

Seeing Through the Eyes of a God of War

The end of the battle leaves Kratos covered in the blood of a character whose perspective you, the player, have been seeing from. In a sense, he has murdered how you perceive him from now on.
