Game Reviews

I'm going to be honest: I had actually no idea what game I was getting when my editor told me that I was to review this game. I knew the title, Arslan: The Warriors of...

You're alone in the woods of Wyoming, and away from everybody and everything that could remind you of your life. You hear the sound of trees rustling in the wind, ducks quacking by the lake,...

American Truck Simulator is a strange, strange creature. It isn't a bad game even in the slightest; It's quite the contrary actually. I love this game to death. I can't stop playing it. But if you...

Klaus leaves both my mind racing and my mouth with an unusual taste. Bear with me: Klaus is a solid game, being both instantly recognizable and uniquely mysterious at the same time. The team at La...

It seems as though Capcom is biding its time when it comes to revealing--or even mentioning--a hint of Resident Evil 7. For the time being though, many of the classic titles have been brought back from...

We’ve all seen The Never Ending Story; it's that 80’s classic fantasy epic where the kid reads a book and goes to a magical world with a giant white dragon that looks high and his horse...

I was a Digimon kid while growing up. I watched the first four seasons, watched the movie in an empty screening, and played Digimon World, Digimon World 2003, Digimon Rumble Arena 1 and 2, and...

Since the dawn of time, humans have been scared of bugs: Big bugs and little ones that can kill you with highly toxic venom or make you into some sort of Spider Man, giant bugs...

Before diving into the nitty gritty of this piece, I'd like to point out that this won't be a full, in depth review of Rise Of The Tomb Raider; we already have one for the...

Duke Nukem. He feels less like a person, as I roll it around in my mind, and more like the personification of the 80s cranked up to 11. He shoots problems in the face, he...

It’s been a while since I've played an engaging and enjoyable puzzle game that was set to deliver new dynamics. In fact, the last game that relied so heavily on puzzle elements was Portal 2, and...

Back in the 90’s, games such as The Secret of Monkey Island and Broken Sword were kings of their generation. Their influence on gaming narratives and character development inspired not only the adventure genre, but...

The moment you boot up Crashlands, you're greeted by three men singing "Butterscotch Shenanigans," the name of the development team behind what is, without question, one of the best and most hilarious games of 2016...

Games have the power to move and entertain us through exciting game mechanics, while others grasp our attentions with well written and thought provoking narratives. We’ve seen many titles drive forward an interesting plot with...

When I went to EGX recently (September was recent, right?), Punch Club was one of the titles that caught my eye in the indie section. Its nostalgic aesthetic felt familiar, yet revitalized, and the gameplay...

Space, oh space. When it is bright, optimistic, and full of wonder, I admit I draw the curtains as tightly as I can as it does nothing for me at all. It is when space...

My initial thought when starting Seaven Studio's Inside my Radio was that platformers can be hard enough as it is without forcing all my actions to the beat of a song-- which is just plain harsh. The...

Where do I even begin? Darkest Dungeon is one of the most soul-crushingly difficult games I've ever played, and that's with Dark Souls in mind. And yet, somehow, I keep coming back to it over and over to...

The release of Gone Home in August of 2013 caused a ripple in the video game industry, with critics and gamers alike buzzing about a unique and interactive story game on the PC. Two and...

Pony Island is a wondrous master-piece. It is the next step in PC Gaming, with its life-like graphics that mimic humanity in a way that reaches beyond uncanny valley into giving life to those it...

I remember reading about The Banner Saga when it first released two years ago on PC and thinking that it was a very interesting game -- too bad it was on PC only. Flash forward two...

Talking about the loss of a loved one is difficult, especially when first introducing someone to the tragedy. You might be tempted to just tell the story and that's that - who cares if they...

The most common complaint that I've had with a few episodic series' final entries is how rushed it can feel. Not so much that they ran out of development time, but rather by episode five...

At this point in their career, rhythm games have now become synonymous with Harmonix Music Systems. Their first major entry in the music genre was Frequency, a game published by Sony in 2001 for the PlayStation 2....

King's Quest Episode 1: A Knight to Remember lived up to the name and exceeded my expectations. The environments are bright, the writing is superb, the puzzles are sheer brilliance, the characters have so much...

With the success of The Binding of Isaac, there are many indie developers determined to craft surreal adventures with a bleak and disturbing twist on the fantasy epic. The Madness of Little Emma is the...
