What a surprise! Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel provides a stylish, easy to pick up but hard to master fighting game experience that isn't just for anime enthusiasts. I will tell you right now that I am...

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...

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...
