Game Reviews

It seems that lately I've been drawn to indie adventure games, entranced by unique aesthetics and interesting storytelling techniques. Fe is one of those titles, though it feels a little weird to call it an...

Sci-Fi is a genre often filled with cautionary tales that predict doom and gloom on a regular basis, sucking all the fun from anything to do with Robots and cool laser guns. To be honest,...

We all know that licensed games have a pretty bad rap in the gaming community, especially licensed games that came before Arkham Asylum. Every now and then as I'm flipping through some of my older...

Founded in 2006, Bluepoint Games developed Blast Factor, one of only two launch titles on ps3's Playstation Network store. Since then, Bluepoint has remained a remaster/port workhorse with their God of War Collection in 2009 effectively...

Games have often been a source of escapism for me; some people like to read stories, but I like to play them. However, for every Final Fantasy or Destiny that I play, where I can...

Dynasty Warriors 9 is a completely massive game, to put it lightly. There is an incredibly large amount of playable characters in the title, 90 to be exact, and a large number of missions to...

We live in an age where gamers relish the past and designers can’t help themselves but pay homage to some of gaming’s most classic titles. One of these shining examples would be the 2012 smash...

It is a common practice in many games, to borrow elements from classic retro titles and format them with shiny new visuals. Even though the sound design resembles something from the 80’s, that is not...

The 90's were a great time to be alive, I'm thankful that I had my teenage years and early twenties during them. Had I known that I was living in one of the greatest eras...

One of the great things about video games is the incredible worlds that creators can come up. The ability to come up with fantastic worlds and to execute a vision is one of my favorite...

As a wee lad, I grew up in the arcades. For those younger readers, arcades used to be the place to play the best games available. I remember spending hours with games like 1942 and loving...

Each Final Fantasy comes with changes that may or may not throw the community surrounding the series into rebellion, as well as staples that fans can expect to find in every game. Every Final Fantasy...

When most people think of video games they think of solving puzzles, killing monsters, building and exploring, or rapid button mashing fighters. What most people don’t think of is cows, crops, or marriage. At least...

Over the last few years my gaming tastes have changed. Walking simulators, a genre that tasks the player with playing out a story in the first person through interactive puzzles or characters, has quickly become...

Arcen Games’ new downloadable content is here with Starward Rogue AuGMENTED, and it triumphantly marches roguelike gameplay deeper into the next millennium, one where robots and severed heads reign (That’s right, “reign” not “rain”—that would...

Over the past few years, Nihon Falcom (with the help of XSEED Games) has been bringing their library of classic RPG titles to the west and to PC. They began with the Ys series, but...

When Legrand Legacy went on Kickstarter, it somehow flew over my radar. After getting a look at it on Steam, however, I realized that it had the potential to be something I have been waiting...

One of the things that I enjoyed the most about Defunct is its sense of speed. There, that feels good to just get it out there. I love a good racing game, and a good...

An ode to the pixels of the past, Sigi - a Fart for Melusina is 20 levels of silly, rude, potty humor fun. The loosely-defined story surrounds a knight named Sigi who can’t seem to...

I had a huge gap in my gaming experience when it came to SHUMPS, for those of you who don't know SHUMPS are "Shoot 'em Ups." I vaguely remember having a Gradius on my Super...

In an age where indie games used to be regarded as the new kid on the block to now plaguing the Steam library with mediocre titles... those days are over, well at least for a...

My first experience with Valve as a developer was not the Half-Life series like most people. Instead, I got introduced to Valve through the Portal games and found myself really immersed in the idea of...

Yes, the rumours are true. We are back to testing. With portals. And GlaDOS. And… Bridges? Bridge Constructor Portal is a combination of the beloved Portal series and the slightly less known but still loved...

Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty is typically regarded as one of the worst in the Ratchet & Clank series, and it's clear why after playing it over the Holiday season. It is only set...

They say that imitation is the purest form of flattery, and if that is the case Nihon Falcom has a love affair with the Persona series, specifically Persona 3. I was quite surprised when I...

Wow, it’s been quite some time since spring and it’s felt even longer since we were promised some free DLC for the awesome Resident Evil 7. It’s not been that long of a wait, it’ll...
