When the first Syberia game was released 15 years ago, its darkness and mystery helped to create a loyal cult following. The follow-up, Syberia 2, was an entertaining adventure that contributed well to the Kate Walker...

When I played Outlast in 2013, I thoroughly enjoyed almost every second of the game, but I was well aware of the few problems that stopped a great game from being an incredible game--long corridors,...

Planescape: Torment was released almost twenty years ago and while it may not have been wildly successful in terms of its sales, it did go on to not only win over the hearts of critics...

It is weird how applicable the idea of the Mandate of Heaven is to the games industry. If you replace “god” with “karmic/financial justice”, the cycle seems strangely apt. Developer/publisher makes it big, makes decisions...

When the original Xbox came out, Microsoft needed a mascot to promote the console as Nintendo had Mario and Sony with the likes of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Sir Daniel Fortesque. So what did Microsoft...

There may be a rumour lurking about that reviews are getting rather formulaic. Even my editor has to occasionally hit me in the back of the head for relying on my rough “pros v cons”...

In 1989, Westone Bit Entertainment released Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap to the Master System. I never owned a Master System. In fact, when this game was originally released, I wasn’t even alive yet. That...

Full Throttle Remastered is dark, cinematic and by far one of the most ambitious point-and-click adventure games to have ever come out. Tim Schafer's bike fantasy was innovative back in 1995, but its compact story and...

Mr. Shifty is a nice combination of speed and timing with some select traces of stealth stirred in for good measure. It's a simple premise without too much being loaded on in terms of story....

Desync has been a tough game to review, which is why this is late. Despite a laptop refusing to stay on and a library laptop being used instead, I've experienced exhilarating but tough as nails...

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for card games. From Pokemon to Yu-Gi-Oh! to Magic the Gathering, I love 'em all. The strategy and customization have always appealed to me but I...

Bayonetta is easily one of my favorite games of all time. People look at me strangely when I say that, since most only see the exterior, an overly sexualized heroine, hack and slash combat, and...

I confess I was pretty damn impressed with The Walking Dead: A New Frontier episodes 1 and 2. I had previously written Telltale off as obnoxiously safe until I took a gander at Ties That...

We have all played a card game at some point in our lives, whether it was something as simple as Solitaire, as competitive as Poker or even as fun as Bullshit. But I am confident...

At its core, Crawl is an 8-bit gem--whose music is just as impressive as the art-- in a sea of games striving to capture the feel of the beloved experiences of our past. What Crawl gets right...

Monster Hunter is a series that I've been curious about in theory, as someone who loves a bit of a rough-n-tumble with monstrosities at least five times my size (e.g. see my one-way love for...

Gather round children as today’s review will examine one of the most puzzling games I’ve encountered in a long time. It's just as thrilling as games like the hanabi game. This is a beast of...

I’ll let you in on a secret. As I type this sentence, my small-but-fierce company of mercenaries is slowly escorting a trade caravan to the town of Stakenburg. Yes, on the other screen, I’m fighting...

With the success of games like Football Manager, it’s clear that many gamers are enthralled with taking on board a range of responsibilities and management duties. There are hundreds of possibilities such as Rock band...

The use of color is a great way to implement game mechanics. Games such as Portal and Mirror’s Edge have used color in unique ways to aid you in reaching your objectives. With A Rose...

Most people would argue that we are in a golden age of gaming. Graphics, creativity, and storylines have all gone lightyears beyond what we previously thought possible and yet here we are! New gameplay mechanics...

Relationships between family, friends, and everyone around us can be difficult to manage with life happening so fast and constantly changing. Things get messy. Things get complicated. Situations don't always go the way that we...

Has-Been Heroes combined action, strategy, and turn-based elements with the fresh but at times unforgiving nature of the roguelike genre. You'll control three characters at a time that will utilize three different combat lanes to...

What with Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward being my favourite game and wanting to share something I love, it has always been a bit tricky coaxing people to give the series a try. Not only...

Canada has one of the kindest reputations in the world, and it’s an unlikely environment for a chilling adventure game. However, the first five minutes of playing Kona will have you questioning your assumptions. Something...

Holobunnies comes at the end of a lot of work from new indie developer q-Bit Games and it seems to have paid off. This isn't even the final product of all of their work and...
