Field Report: Dead Space 3 'Awakened' DLC

By Timothy J. Seppala, Mar 18, 2013 12:30pm PDT

Awakened, and Dead Space entirely as of late, thinks it's far more clever than it actually is. It's over-complicating and bloating things to the point of confusion and lost me along the way.

Field Report: Mass Effect 3 'Citadel' DLC

By Timothy J. Seppala, Mar 07, 2013 11:00am PST

While I had no problem with how Mass Effect 3 ended Shepard's story, Citadel is a more formal—and wholly welcome--farewell that doesn't insult the finality of what's come before it chronologically and through the narrative. Bravo, BioWare.

Field Report: Mass Effect 3 Omega DLC

By Timothy J. Seppala, Dec 05, 2012 12:00pm PST

Mass Effect 3's Omega DLC feels like and add-on, and an poorly implemented one at that. High points were fleeting, giving the bulk of the content a superfluous feel. Not the best of BioWare's attempts to expand the ME3 universe.

Field Report: XCOM Enemy Unknown - Slingshot

By Andrew Yoon, Dec 04, 2012 7:30am PST

You'll have to start a brand new campaign to access any of the new content for XCOM: Enemy Unknown's "Slingshot" add-on. Considering how great the core game is, that's not really a bad thing.
