Thoughts on Life is Strange Episodes 2 and 3

When Life is Strange episode 2 officially landed, I had folks telling me left and right it was a huge improvement over Dontnod's pilot installment. Since I was originally excited over the concept of Life is Strange, and wanted to like the...

Review: Toren

When Ico was released years ago, I was awed by how well they could make the simple design work. It was amazing how you could be drawn into the narrative driven by two characters that basically communicated via grunts while exploring what...

Review: Sunset

My first experience with a Tale of Tales game was back in 2005 with the release of The Endless Forest. The game is an MMO about being a deer in a magic forest, that's pretty much it. Apparently you can still play it today. While I never...

Preview: Rebel Galaxy

Travis Baldree and Erich Schaefer are no strangers to gaming. Schaefer is the co-founder of Blizzard North, creator of Diablo, and with Baldree the two founded Runic Games together in 2008, creating the Torchlight series. But their newest...

Review: Westerado: Double Barrelled

I fell in love with Westerado the first time I saw it advertised on Adult Swim. The pixelated tongue-in-cheek homage to Spaghetti Westerns looked so on-the-mark awesome that I had to play it. The actual game however wasn't quite what I had...

Review: Guns, Gore & Cannoli

I know what you're thinking: You love side-scrolling indie games almost as much as you love zombie games, but there's just not enough titles to satisfy your insatiable lust for the two, let alone one title that does both. Well buddy, thank...
