Rising Islands Review
Rising Islands is an interesting game; it certainly grabbed my attention as 3D platformers have become somewhat of a rarity in video games lately. Even rarer is both the fact that they are indie games,...

Even though Minecraft: Story Mode (created by Telltale Games) has turned into a series with an overarching plot without a major presence, it was clear the series had to end at some point. It was obvious they...
**Minor spoilers for Abzu below** "The story of ABZÛ is a universal myth that resonates across cultures. The name references a concept from the oldest mythologies; it is the combination of the two ancient words...
Oregon Trail is, I admit, one of the core titles that seem part of the video game consciousness that I simply have not played. Although, rather than having no reason, like usual, I do have...
Many farming simulation games are set in lush, fertile farmland out in the country. We play as a farmer, tending his or her cattle, and don’t think much about it. Voodoo Garden turns this idea...
Physics-based puzzlers always strike me as unique in a very particularly interesting way: it doesn't matter how you get to B from A, just that you simply do. As much as I sometimes enjoy puzzle/adventure...
I've always thought that "casual" games never get a fair chance with "core" gamers. I think we feel threatened by their existence because we worry about them affecting "our games". It's silly though. They really...
Strategy games are an odd genre. I happen to love them with all my heart. However, I will not deny that sometimes they are very, very difficult to access for more casual players. Turn Based...
I admit that I tend to be drawn deep into narratives that have a mystery. Zero Escape does this to marvelous effect, but I also was curious when stumbling around the house in Gone Home...
Congratulations Playdead, you’ve done it again. Following the universal success of their first independent title, Limbo, Playdead ApS has somehow exceeded high expectations with their newest game, Inside. It adds onto all the gameplay elements...
Sure, bears can't drift, but that never stopped a bandicoot in Crash Team Racing or Donkey Kong in any Mario Kart game. Stereotypes are meant to be broken, but Bears Can't Drift!? is more inclined to just be a good time...
Zero Escape, put simply, is a visual novel series where things go wrong and weird pretty hard and pretty fast. It is also a series I fell in love with pretty hard and pretty fast;...
Corpse Party is a unique game, to say the least, and while it may not be for everyone, it is a game that will reward those who give it a chance. The main appeal of...
I love a good puzzle game! Portal is one of my favorites and a recent indie title, Six Sides of the World, has been one of the best this year. So another title has arrived...
Cameos are an awkward beast. The best ones, I find, are the cameos where you don't notice unless you know the right handshakes and winks to get it. Otherwise they blend seamlessly into the crowd...
Space Moth DX is an interesting game, to say the least. The "Bullet Hell" genre isn't quite as popular as it once was, but there are a few games that certainly stand out. Space Moth DX...
We are now on the third episode of IO-Interactive's Hitman reboot, and it's clear that the development team has not only been learning as they go, but they are also building towards something big. Paris...
When do fan-service and the concept of “sex sells” go too far? Many would say it varies from person to person, but I myself would say that it goes too far when a video game...
Are you a fan of Fallout? Are you a fan of the 80s? Are you a fan of roguelikes? If you answered yes to at least two of those, Wasted: A Post-Apocalyptic Pub Crawler is probably a game...
World War II. Yep, that'll work for an intro. Everything else would be redundant, bloated and unnecessary. ...Wh-What? Sorry, the editor is giving me a disapproving stare. It's just, what could I even add to...
Alright everyone, get your mind out of the gutter. This game is the complete opposite of what you are thinking. You see no skin in this game and there is no smootching. However, if you...
Charming is the word I could use to describe Ara Fell best. I've played my fair share of games that try to tap into the nostalgia of SNES\Playstation Era J-RPG fans. Unfortunately, most of them fail...
Overwatch is the first person shooter that the genre needed. With its cartoony characters, bright visuals, and a game that is just bursting with personality, Overwatch is a breathe of fresh air in a genre...
Space exploration has been a rather popular theme for gaming lately, with titles such as No Man’s Sky and Star Citizen taking the headlines of impressive indie and AAA games on the market. But some...
Puzzle Platformers can either be done quite well (in the case of the Oddworld series or Thomas was Alone) or can be lackluster and annoying, lacking the imagination that makes the genre so versatile and...
This is a review of Episode 2 of the new reboot of Hitman by Io-Interactive. In the review of Episode 1, I said "Hitman...is unquestionably a success. The first episode is a visual feast, the...
