With a passion towards Journalism, Hunter intends to go to the world renown Journalism School at the University of Missouri (Mizzou).

Every year Activision sets aside a large portion of its staff to release a new game, one that lacks originality but is made up by including re-skinned weapons and assets. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is no exception to this trend. Originally promising intense new combat via exoskeleton battle suits and a compelling story with Kevin Spacey, this game fails to exit...
I have to say I had low hopes for Insomniac Games' newest title, Sunset Overdrive. Insomniac Games has a track record of making either really good or really bad games, among the better titles include Ratchet & Clank & The Resistance series. On the poor side of their past games are titles such as Fuse, which was an all around failure when it came to...
The Forza series has always been a standout when it comes to first party games on Microsoft's systems. The game combines aspects of circuit racing with that of open world racing.

This year, Nintendo is for the first time releasing a Smash Bros game on both their handheld and home consoles products. The latter...

But all of us as part of our human condition face another type of storm. We face our internal storms – involving relationships, family problems, and events we...
Once a year after school, Jesuit students flock to various stores to pick up the sports game that keeps on giving. Having received the game early, I'm proud to provide a rather premature review for EA's FIFA 15. Running on the improved Ignite game engine, the game looks better than ever. The game engine which was used in the previous...
I tightly grip my crescent-tinted assault rifle as two of my friends and myself enter uninviting and dark catacombs. Lights emit from our weapons as we walk deeper into the abyss of a cavern that is nonhuman in origin, adding to the hostility on the Earth’s moon. The tension and silence cause one of my friends to crack a bad joke through...
