Review: Animal Crossing: New Leaf

It's tricky to describe why someone should play an Animal Crossing game without sounding like a crazy person. You can't win the game, there are no sweet combos or finishing moves, there's really not even all that much world building to be...

Review: PayDay 2

PayDay: The Heist showed us how much fun we could have stealing money with friends, and while it was a really cool experience it left a lot to be desired. The heists, while filled with some randomly-generated details, had ultimately only...

Review: Papers, Please

Sometimes when the stars align (in an awkward sort of way) we as gamers are presented with a game that has us torn. Positively, utterly torn. Before I get to the reason this game tears me apart, I should explain the premise. You won the...

Review: Dragon’s Crown

Dragon's Crown, available on the Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita is the latest entry from developer Vanillaware, the minds behind GrimGrimoire, Odin Sphere and Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Vanillaware titles for the most part have always...

Review: Call Of Juarez Gunslinger

These days you'd be right to feel hesitant as you hover over the order confirmation on a Call Of Juarez game. The series has never really been a source for consistency, a lot like their developer, Techland, whose games run anywhere from...

I am an unbelievable skeptic when it comes to anything that begins with "i" or "An" and ends with "OS" and "droid." Typically, these games amount to "download for 2 dollars here then go and spend four more dollars here" or "download for 4...

Review: Gunpoint

Stealth games come and go. Many get it wrong, some get it right, and far fewer-like Gunpoint-make us giggle. And why shouldn't it? It all begins with main character Richard Conway acquiring a new pair of jumping boots for use in his...

Review: Shadowrun Returns

Shadowrun Returns serves as a sequel... of sorts... to its prior console iterations way back in the SNES and Megadrive era, a successful and much loved tabletop RPG, this is the franchise's return to the digital medium. It also carries one...

R.I.P.D. – The Game that Won’t Let You Die

My first assignment for this website was to review an iOS app. My second to review RIPD. I feared that, much like Ryan Reynolds I had died and gone to the afterlife, and not the good kind. There have been very rare instances to the...
