Ember was such a nostalgic trip for me but can definitely be enjoyed by almost anyone, regardless of nostalgia. Ember hearkens back to games such as Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment - and I couldn't be more thrilled. I'd...

There seems to be a void that everyone is trying to fill now days. With Left 4 Dead 3 unlikely to happen for quite some time, there is a long line of developers coming into...

Ten years ago, one of the greatest zombie games graced the Xbox 360 and thus one of the craziest survival horror series was born. It wasn’t survival horror in the traditional sense as it created a wonderful B-Movie inspired...

Most of the time the term rip-off is often one that is incorrect. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale took ideas from Super Smash Bros but evolved the genre and added a few twists and Lords of...

Writing about Criminal Girls 2 for, what our founder calls, a “family friendly” website is tricky. There is that over-hanging awkwardness in Western media where they favor live action footage of police gunning down someone...

With the first episode of Batman – the Telltale Series, we met dark and brooding Bruce Wayne, and played moral compass with his alter-ego. Plot developed characters were introduced, and anticipation mounted. In the release...

I was really impressed with the first Assassin's Creed release. From the beginning, Ubisoft showed us they had something special with the cinematic trailers that helped capture everyone's attention. I remember my parents (who never play...

Hacking in games has always fascinated me. I’m not smart enough (or skilled enough) to be a hacker in real life, so the concept has always been interesting. Rive allows you not only to hack...

I am going to be very honest with you: I am still very new to the whole JRPG genre. I've been trying to get into it since I was eighteen. I can't tell you how...

Puzzle-Platforming has taken on many different forms over the years. Games like Braid, The Oddworld series, and even Portal have attempted to expand our minds and change the way we play. Four Sided Fantasy is...

It seems like many developers want to get on the epic feels train of gaming. What with Ori and the Blind Forest making such an impact on how music and visuals can encourage and well-meaning...

In terms of fictional brands that have real world appeal, Nuka-Cola is probably up there for sodas people would most want to actually try. Hell, Nuka-Cola Quantum was even made available in some retail stores...
