Given the popularity of games such as Minecraft, it is not a surprise to see some additional titles take a similar approach to survival. Cryponia has released some new screens for their upcoming Cube Life: Island Survival for the Wii U.

Month in Review - March 2015
Hi everyone! We’ve had a busy month and know that not everyone always has a chance to stop by every day, so for those of you that can’t, here’s our month in review highlighting anything you may have missed! I PY will be your host, and here is the month of March.
So for something...
ASTRO Gaming A40 + MixAmp Pro (Dying Light Edition) PS3/PS4/PC - Hardware Review
ASTRO Gaming has been developing some of the most professional looking peripherals for consoles for years now. With the explosive growth in gaming in the past decade, ASTRO has taken its considerable knowledge and focused it on creating premiere-quality headsets for modern consoles,...
Omega Quintet images and trailer
We have the latest trailer and images for the upcoming Omega Quintet from Idea Factory - and it is looking good.
...
Cities: Skylines - PC Review
City building games have become something of a joke since the latest SimCity game was released. While would-be city planners have been clamoring for some quality city-building goodness all that we seem to be getting is a bug-infested steaming pile of garbage (SimCity), or a...
AverMedia ExtremeCap U3 CV710 - Hardware Review
In the last few years Let's Play videos and gaming montages have become an increasingly popular genre of video content. With the advent of services like Twitch, Ustream, and the explosive growth of YouTube, gamers have more options than ever when it comes to recording, streaming,...
Win a copy of Soldner-X 2 for the PS Vita
This is a contest to win a code for the recently released shoot-'em-up Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype on the Sony PlayStation Vita. We have several codes we are giving away for this one, and if you are curious - we enjoyed the game a good deal.
...
Sentinels of the Multiverse - Tabletop and Board Games Review
Recently I had a chance to play the Sentinels of the Multiverse video game on Steam, and if you happened to see my review, you would know that I was a huge fan of the game and its mechanics. Well, that game certainly served a purpose, because it made me absolutely fascinated...
White Night - PC Review
White Night absolutely scores on the front of horror adventure. The stylish visuals, the story and the terrifying, palpable atmosphere are the clear takeaways to be had here. The heart of this game beats with a creepy life of its own. Unfortunately the body of work around the...
Bloodsports.TV trailer and information
At the first description, this sounded a bit like the old Monday Night Combat game I used to really enjoy, but this is more of a top-down affair. We have some news, screens and a trailer to show off.
...
Dragon Ball Xenoverse - PS3 Review
Dragon Ball is what got me into anime when I was younger and I’ve honestly been a fan ever since. Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Fairy Tail, all fall into a category that Dragon Ball Z made quite popular. For me it was never the search for the Dragon Balls themselves, or ever the...
Tesoro Excalibur Spectrum Mechanical Keyboard - Hardware Review
Tesoro has been one of the recent accessory companies that has come out of nowhere in the last few years and has provided gamers with some spectacular pieces. From their solid 7.1 surround headset to the previously reviewed Excalibur backlit mechanical keyboard. We really enjoyed...
Warlocks now available on Early Access
Another Kickstarted title has made its way onto Steam's Early Access, and it plans to be released on consoles later this year as well.
...
Bladestorm: Nightmare - PS4 Review
Not a direct follow-up to the under-appreciated original Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War back in 2007, Bladestorm: Nightmare takes the original formula and dresses it up with some improved visuals and expanded content. The end result is a game that is definitely not going...
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris - PS4 Review
I had originally thought that with the reboot of the Tomb Raider series it would have been the end of the older version of Lara Croft. This was a character that had been with gamers throughout various console generations and is still very recognizable. I still have not played...
Take a look at Sword Coast Legends
Of all the RPGs coming up in the near future, this one may be the most interesting to me personally. It feels like a callback to the old Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter Nights games of the past. This first video is from a recent play session last week - just in case you missed it...
Evolve - PS4 Review
Evolve feels like one of the trickier games I have tried to review to date. The core game is a lot of fun, but more content would have been big. Of course, more content can be had - for a price. The DLC strategy has a lot of gamers upset, which I can relate to as I personally...
Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea - PS3 Review
The Atelier series is one that we hear at Chalgyr's Game Room really enjoy. We have been covering the numerous Atelier games for years now and it is one of the most unique and interesting JRPG franchises that we have seen in a long time. Focusing primarily on grinding and crafting,...
The Reject Demon: Toko Chapter 0 - Prelude gets approved on Steam Greenlight very quickly
We have looked at some games by Sekai Project in the past, so of course we became curious when we heard about The Reject Demon: Toko Chapter 0 when it came out on Steam's Greenlight program. This puppy got approved in under a week - impressive.
...
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D - 3DS Review
There are some things that should stay where we left them back in the past. Nostalgia is a powerful thing but then again there are those that I am more than happy to re-receive almost a decade and a half later. I loved Majora’s Mask much more than I could ever love the Ocarina...
The Memory of Eldurim - PC Preview
The Memory of Eldurim impresses as an action RPG title, but it serves as another very good example as well. While there have been plenty of stories about Early Access games going bad or drawing to a close prematurely, The Memory of Eldurim has so far shown the good that can...
Cursed Sight still has over 20 days left on Kickstarter
With one week already in the books, Cursed Sight has already exceeded its modest Kickstarter goal. This visual novel looks like it has a good deal of potential so far.
...
Grapple - PC Review
I would like to preface this review by stating that I am not good at puzzle games, or platformers. This is nothing against either genre - they are fun but I am not particularly good at them. Grapple presented a challenge for my meager skills and I only got to level 19 of 90...
Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype - PS Vita Review
At a glance, Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype should not be quite as addicting as it is. There is nothing inherently wrong with the title, but it also does not feel like it is breaking new ground. However, what Soldner-X 2 brings to the table is a fantastic mesh of brisk action,...
Win a physical copy of htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary for the PS Vita
How would you like to win a copy of htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary for the Vita? Of course you would! Well then, we have a contest for you.
...
Warmachine Two Player Battle Box - Tabletop and Board Games Review
Warmachine has been around since 2003, living in the shadow of other tabletop wargames such as Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k, though their unique take on a very steampunk-style sets them well apart from some of the juggernauts. With a lot of traditional tabletop...
Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series - Episodes 1 & 2 - Xbox 360 Review
Back in the early 2000s (2002 or so?), my brother handed me a book he thought I would like. It was A Game of Thrones, the first book in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. At first, I was a caught a little off guard by the fact that the perspective...
Who wants more BlazBlue?
We Do! And that is good because we have a new title in the series coming out in the near future. It's more of an updated title really, but welcome all the same....
AeternoBlade - PS Vita Review
AeternoBlade is a Metroidvania following the story of a warrior named Freyja on her quest for vengeance for the destruction of her village at the hands of an Demonic Overlord. Originally released on the Nintendo 3DS this time last year it is seeing a re-release on the Sony PlayStation...
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds (Parts 5-7) - Play Time
Over the last two days, we have followed PY and Richard through the first our parts of their Play Time session with the PC game Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds. This is not PY's first attempt at getting some video on Chalgyr's Game Room, however. It began when he had a chance...
More Wolfenstein you say? I'm alright with that
The last Wolfenstein game was one I only recently happened to pick up, not having had a chance to play it when it released. I have been enjoying it a great deal so far, so my timing seems perfect for this latest announcement by Bethesda.
...
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary 4 - Tabletop and Board Games Review
Now this is what I am talking about.
I am a sucker for a good bestiary/monster manual, and the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary 4 does not disappoint. With over three hundred monsters ranging from classic fantasy, horrors and constructs, this book is perfect for those looking...
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds (Parts 3-4) - Play Time
Yesterday we took a look at Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds, which we reviewed to a high score a few weeks ago. In particular, PY wanted to participate in some multiplayer madness, and decided to record the results to share with others.
...
Worlds of Magic on Unity 5
I enjoyed my time with Worlds of Magic on the PC, so this latest announcement is great to hear.
...
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook - Tabletop and Board Games Review
Pathfinder is not a new property, and the roleplaying game is often compared to older versions of Dungeons & Dragons because of its themes and dice rolling heavy mechanics. That being said, there is plenty of life in this tabletop game and it does enough things distinctively...
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds (Parts 1-2) - Play Time
We had a chance to review Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds recently, and Pierre-Yves really enjoyed it. So much so, he rounded up a friend a recorded their session. The result? A handful of Play Time videos and some further commentary from PY.
...
Magic Duels will be a new type of Magic: The Gathering game
I talked about Magic Origins recently in another preview, but now we have even more information on what is sure to be a popular release....
Pathfinder: Beginner Box - Tabletop and Board Games Review
I have been playing a lot of RPGs over the years, but somehow I never managed to get my hands on Pathfinder until very recently. Having the opportunity to look at, read through and use a trio of different Pathfinder resources, I decided it was time to talk about our group's...
Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters - PS3 Review
Visual novels are great, and they have been steadily making their way to North America in more forms on more consoles than ever. Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters is not what I would consider a true visual novel, because there are some additional game elements that make it more of...
Elite Dangerous is coming to consoles
Robert was an overwhelming fan of the PC release. Now? We're looking at console versions. I hope he doesn't drool on the floor in here.
...
Upgrading your PS4 hard drive - Gaming Thoughts
Earlier today I talked a bit about the hard drive of choice I went with when trying to upgrade my storage for the Sony PlayStation 4. It was not really faster than the stock 500GB drive that the system came with, but it offered four times the virtual real estate at a price tag...
Samsung Seagate HN-M201RAD Momentus SpinPoint ST2000LM003 2TB 2.5" SATA II Notebook Hard Drive 9.5MM - Hardware Review
I was worried about my available hard drive space on the PlayStation 4 the moment it was announced that the console would be shipping with only a 500 gigabyte drive. The large game sizes proved that concern to be valid in short order, where my drive was at maximum capacity about...
Ori and the Blind Forest - Xbox One Review
"I can't say enough good things about Ori and the Blind Forest." - that was one of the repeated thoughts rolling around in my head as I sat down to think about the time I had just spent with this game. Of course, I am going to try and do this game justice - because I want people...
Shadows of Esteren: The Monastery of Tuath - Tabletop and Board Games Review
I can say this for Shadows of Esteren - they know how to get a Kickstarter funded. I love that the team behind this property has such grand plans, as evidenced from their recently funded Kickstarter that helps to cross mediums. It also shows that the materials have plenty of...
A trailer for A Crowd of Monsters
Everything about this looks great. The visual style, the storytelling - I am really curious to see how this one develops.
