Review: Replay – VHS is not Dead

Has anyone reading this even seen a VHS tape before? How about video clubs? Anyone remember those? Back in the long, long ago there was a thing called video clubs, where you could rent movies. Think of it like a library, but with only...

Review: Arkham Knight

Arkham Knight is the grand conclusion to the Arkham tetralogy. Don't you dare give me that stink eye, if Rocksteady considers Origins canon (even though they didn't develop it), I consider it canon. The Dark Knight has to deal with...

Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Back in the long, long ago of two thousand and eleven a game by the name of Skyrim came out and it made enough money to basically make its publisher, Bethesda, a G20 country. Fellow AAA WRPG makers decided that because of Skyrim's success,...

Review: Apollo 4X

It is a fundamental law of nature that when you add space before anything it makes it cool. Space bounty hunter? The coolest. Space cowboy? Oh yeah. Space janitor? C'mon, you know you are tempted to sign up to scrub the zero-g toilets. If...

Review: Axiom Verge

I have no small amount of admiration for Tom Happ, developer of Axiom Verge. I must have heard nonstop from both my programming friends and read all about how difficult it is to pull off a Metroidvania, especially as a first title. A lot...
