Schrei205 Interviews Glenn Rane (Warning: Fangirling Within)
World of Warcraft holds a special place in my heart for a huge variety of reasons. One of those reasons includes the incredible art that accompanies the game, from the illustrations, to the concepts, to the in-game scenery. The quality of Blizzard art has always been truly impressive, and I was so excited to hear that a long-time Blizzard artist, Glenn Rane, would be a guest at Phoenix Comic Fest ...

Game On Expo 2017 Was Bigger And Better! (Review) Game On Expo is a convention that takes place in Arizona that used to take place in Mesa at the Mesa Convention Center but moved to Downtown Phoenix for a bigger facility in the Phoenix Convention Center. This is one of my favorite events in the year because you can tell the organizers have a huge love for video games and gamers. Every year that I ...
Crash Force Review
Crash Force Review When we were invited to the Crash Force early access review, I had heard absolutely nothing about it, beyond the short description of “an amalgamation of multiplayer, arena, and shooting at it’s core with RPG and racing elements.” While that is quite the mouth full, I was surprised to discover that it is exactly that. Reminiscent of Probe Entertainment’s Xtreme-G2’s arena mode, ...
Review: Sublevel Zero Redux
Review: Sublevel Zero Redux Hey friends! I got the chance to play Sublevel Zero Redux recently and I could not believe how much fun it is! If you are not familiar with the game, it is a first person shooter that has you take command of a ship and fight to survive against other ships that are AI controlled. Initially, I didn’t think I would enjoy Sublevel Zero Redux because it looked a bit si...
Samurai Dark Souls : Nioh Reivew

You play as William, an Irishman who has had his longtime friend and guardian kidnapped away from him, and is suddenly plunged into the dark chaos happening in Japan. Let’s just get this out of the way: yes, Nioh is difficult and challenging, but it’s not impossible. I’...
Astroneer- The Space Game You Want
Astroneer- The Space Game You Want With the disappointment of No Man’s Sky, I was very wary of any space games that proclaimed fun exploration and space creation. So when I started Astroneer, I was hesitant to get too excited. But let me say this: Astroneer is the No Man’s Sky we all wanted. It filled the black hole in my heart (pun intended) that No Man’s Sky left behind. Althou...
Overcooked: Where Animal Crossing Meets Kitchen Nightmares (Video)
Overcooked: Where Animal Crossing Meets Kitchen Nightmares Recently, a couple of us from The Geek Lyfe (namely Gumbers and Powerforce of Brostalgia) sat down and took the time to play Overcooked on Steam. If I had to sum up the game in one word, it’d probably have to be “chaos.” Luckily for everybody reading though, I’m not restricted to just one word. Let’s go ah...

Review: Black Desert Online
Review: Black Desert Online Now, I know that MMORPGs in 2016 is a bitter sweet topic. On one hand the technology used in games have improved to the point where we can explore vast, open worlds with our warriors in shining armor, usually for free. However, many modern MMOs now have pay to win features with boosted experience, exclusive gear etc. Many MMOs start off huge and after a few months they ...
