It is unfortunate that Mech games haven't really taken off as much in this generation than in prior ones. Yes, we have Titanfall, but back in the day there were mountains of these games, like Zone...

Steam allows for a variety of games to be released, no matter the size of the project, and I'm glad Anime Studio Simulator was given the green light for Visualnoveler's first publication on the platform....

Soccer video games are everywhere. Over the past decade, we’ve seen niche trends come and go. For a while, it seemed that the FIFA series was losing favor to free Flash games. Eventually, the award-winning...

Sigh ...  Duke Nukem as a franchise can be a sore subject for many gamers, largely in part due to the long development time for Duke Nukem Forever and how terrible it ended up being upon...

If there is one game that was never fully realized when it was originally released, it's Rez. The PS2 classic came out back in 2001, but despite it being an excellent game, it was always held...

Portable Survival Horror isn't a very normal occurrence in gaming nowadays; in fact I think I can count the number of games on one hand. It makes sense though, as being scared on a tiny...

Exist Archive is the definition of why I think the general audience feels like they would not like a J-RPG and a turn-based one at that. Despite the game having interesting art design, wonderful visuals,...

It'd be impossible to truly appreciate and discuss this landmark horror title without first talking about the short story of the same name that it's based off. The award-winning short story has no doubt helped inspire...

Twisted Fusion for the Wii U was a Kickstarter campaign that became a wonderful reality. Leuvsion developed and published a game that is an enjoyable RPG which relies heavily on exploration. Players are in the...

If there's a commonality in horror, it's all this death. A decapitation here, disembowelment there, blood and guts everywhere. It is enough to make a gorehound grin from ear to ear. Although, is it really...

Code: Veronica X (hereinafter referred to as Code Veronica) is one of the best titles in the entire Resident Evil franchise. I'm just going to come out and say that first because this game is a masterpiece. There are a few...

The entire Batman: Arkham series from Rocksteady has been amazing, in my opinion. It wrestles with issues core to the Batman mythology and realizes both Gotham City and the Dark Knight's villains in interesting ways. It isn't...

Powargrid is a turn-based strategy puzzle game where you take on your enemies in a grid based war fought with resources and electricity. There's a couple features here but the bulk of the game is...

Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories developed by Arc System Works and published by Aksys Games is intended to be a visual novel, and it achieves this purpose beautifully. The two main characters work...

Not many racing games deviate from the usual formula of current generation titles. Amazing visuals? Check. Realistic controls? Check. Real world race design? Check. However, Riptide GP: Renegade is different. The game, alongside its predecessor,...

I'm pretty sure that everyone who reads my articles knows how much I love survival horror. What they may not know is how big of a fan I am of the George Romero zombie movies....

As I've attested time and time again, I love Europa IV due to the stories it makes rather than a newfound form of competition. Maybe that is due to being generally pretty bad at strategy...

“Kill or be killed” isn’t a new concept in the gaming world. It’s the essence of every Deathmatch in every multiplayer game ever made. But the form that a Deathmatch can take is virtually infinite....

I’ll be honest, I was unsure about reviewing this title as my experience with it during a preview stage was not the best. I waited eagerly to see what new changes would be made to...

You know me by now. If you don't: Hi, I'm Kailan May. I'm socially awkward, technically unhealthy both psychologically and physiologically and pretentious up the wazoo. What may be a lesser known fact is I...

Time Travel and Time-Manipulation are always popular premises for games. From games like Braid to more widely branching things like Life is Strange Time Travel remains a popular and interesting sort of mechanic in both gaming and...
