Special articlesMarking The Mid-Point of 2014: Highs, Lows and Hopes
Here we are at the half way point of 2014. According to the Chinese zodiac 2014 is the year of the horse; the wood horse. It is to be a year of conflict; wood will fuel the fires and lead many to clash headlong into battle. How fitting it is then that my video game highlights, disappointments, hopes, and dreams for the year are directly in conflict with one another: Lightning quick interfaces vs a lack of new-gen experiences, game costs vs value, PlayStation vs Xbox.

Special articlesCFL Mode in Madden 15? Please Make it Happen EA.
Maybe it’s my Canadian pride and the fact that Canada Day is just around the corner, but I want a CFL football game. For you folks out there who don’t know what the CFL is, well it’s a sports league, it stands for: Canadian Football League. That’s right, Canada has its own football league, and trust me, it’s a good one. So good, in fact, it deserves its own video game. Read more

DLC Talk: Dishonored - The Knife of Dunwall
Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall is an impressive little bit of DLC. I should emphasize “little” though, as it is a relatively short experience. Just when the story seems to get going it ends - or, rather, it “kind of” ends.

My Favourite Video Game Magazines of the 90s: A Retro Look
Now that the fourth of July has come and passed, and the video game industry is in the middle of its usual summer doldrums there isn’t too much to write about. So I felt I would to take a vacation from the usual Game Focus fare and start a weekly feature on some of my favourite Retro gaming memories. This week I will focus on the video game magazine scene of the late 80s and 90s. While video game magazines are pretty much relics of the past, its interesting to reflect and think about how, not too long ago, they were the only way to get your gaming news.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Behind the Scenes Trailer Review
I just watched a behind the scenes trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and I cannot be more upset from what I have seen. I should preface this rant by saying that I think Bret Robbins (the “Creative Director” who is talking throughout the sneak peek) doesn’t have any clue as to what the Call of Duty series is about. Am I supposed to be impressed by the “cinematic” nature of a future Call of Duty game and am I supposed to unfold the game’s plot like some kid who has been given a gift and will “unwrap it.” Does Activision even know what makes these games work, or is it just me?
