PC Reviews

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...

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...

We've seen a multitude of P.T. clones with the news of Silent Hills being cancelled. This is a meaningful sacrifice with the likes of Allison Road and Routine coming out next year, and others have...

Just Cause 2 is one of my favorite open world games. The exploration, the raw action, the personality; I loved it. However, when I heard about Just Cause 3, I honestly didn't care much -- Up...

Aahh, Global conquest-- there is just something so wonderful about building a nation from a couple of peasants throwing rocks at each other into an economical, diplomatic, and military powerhouse. It is easy to see...

I'm forever astounded at pop-culture's ongoing ability to get something as lively, petty, and ridiculous as Norse Mythology and then scoop out anything that couldn't appear in anything less than an 18 rating or is...

Cardinal Quest 2 has been out on smartphones for some time. I love Rogue-like games, so I have been itching to try it out for some time, but its mobile-only status turned me off. Now it has...

Stealth is one of the most difficult video game genres to nail. Art, coding of AI, and the profound sense of wonder within a lifelike puzzle come together to make something entirely unique. Whole triple...

Wow, that was quick! I blinked, and suddenly three episodes have appeared in just over a month. Since the prior review I had begun to think about episodes 1 and 2, which I had a bad...

Invisible, Inc. was a game I found interesting with its design, concept, and mechanics. We were given a point and click, turn based stealth exploration adventure with RTS and RPG elements. I rather enjoyed the...

There’s little focus, or that personal edge, to multiplayer games anymore. The concept of 1v1 competitive gaming has been lost to the likes of Worms but it could be coming back. Mayan Death Robots could...

I've really looked forward to playing the heck out of Hard West, as it falls neatly in a niche sub-genre called weird west. Imagine all the bravado, masculinity and arrogance of a western, sucked out...

Disappointment is the only word that comes to mind when I think of The Incredible Adventures Of Van Helsing: Final Cut. Not because it's a bad game -- not even close. In fact, it's through and...

Horror games are not easy to get right, what scares one person may certainly not scare another. Some people love jump scares, while others like psychological horror more. No matter which genre you like however,...

2D platformers, beyond Nintendo's elbow nudging nostalgia, appear to me to be something of a rarity. Already one or two of you are likely poised to launch into the comments section to yell at me...

I’ve studied game design and reviewed games for the past few years. For over three years of my life I programmed; I learned the fine details of theory and design, and all of the important...

Left 4 Dead is either one of those games you love or hate. It's definitely one of the best co-op shooters available if you want something fun and easy, but a lot of people are turned off...

Usually it is easy to work out who a game is designed for at a moment's glance. “Oh, this zombie game is for adults who gleefully grin at the splattering of blood and flesh.” “This...

It's been a long time since I've played a Transformers game. I fondly remember the simply titled Transformers on PS2 back in 2004; It was a grand game with fantastic visuals, tons of collectables, and fun...

Crimsonland is a remake of a shooter that hearkens back to the golden arcade age of top down shooters where enemies swarm the screen, and you have multitudes of insane power-ups and guns that let...

Alas, the Telltale Heart, each beat thudding to remind me of its existence. I turned away, fearful of what would lie if I was to dig it up. I had a jolly time with Telltale...

Simulation games often create a realistic experience for the player, allowing them to immerse themselves in a particular occupation without leaving the comfort of their desk chair. This can include piloting a plane, driving a train or …...

Parody is often an odd form of entertainment, especially in video games. It's very difficult to do a parody correctly, and I've yet to see a game that has. Bedlam is a parody game that actually...

The first Mega Man game I played was Mega Man 2. Released back in 1988, it took everything that made the first game great and made it even better. It was the perfect gateway into the series, and from...

I know, I know, cliché title for the review, but you can understand the title for a couple of reasons. Mostly, it’s due to the shock upon playing the game in this day and age. The...

"The urge to destroy is also a creative urge." - Pablo Picasso From Super Mario Bros. to The Last of Us, fungi have played supporting roles in video games for decades. Mushroom 11, from husband...
