We have been big, big fans of Endless Legend so far, both the core game and its first expansion. So any new news on the title is welcome by us.

Looks like it’s that time of the month again! See everything that we’ve been up to and catch up on anything you may have missed.

Memorable Music in Gaming #9
This week's collection of games comes from a variety of genres and systems. Some of the titles you might expect, coming from one of the most beloved franchises in all of video gaming. Some of the others? Probably somewhat more of a surprise.

Remastering “Gears of War” video series
Obviously one of the bigger upcoming titles for the Xbox One is a familiar face (it is even getting its own bundle), but I personally have very strong feelings for the Gears of Wars games. The first entry in the series was actually one of the driving forces behind me buying...
Way of the Samurai 4 - PC Review
I have played some interesting games up to this point in my life and Way of the Samurai 4 is absolutely one title that can fall into that category. You begin by getting off of a small boat in the tiny port town of Amihama during mid 19th Century Japan. What do you from this...
Rocket League - PS4 Review
Sometimes there are games that rope you in due to an incredibly deep, twisting narrative. Other titles use photo-realistic graphics or movie actors in their voice cast to breathe life into their creations. There are a variety of hooks that development teams use to try and draw...
Champions: Return to Arms - Retro Reflections
Champions: Return to Arms is an action role paying game set in a medieval fantasy setting. I wanted to buy it for many years and finally got it through the internet.
The game starts with a beautiful, elegant woman asking you to lead an assault against an evil power and avenge...
Toy Soldiers: Warchest coming Aug 11th
Toy Soldiers has developed a pretty popular following over the years. This newest announcement by Ubisoft is a good one for fans of the series.

Startech USB 2.0 HD PVR Video Game Capture Card - Hardware Review
Startech is relatively well known in computer hardware as they manufacture cost-effective alternatives to name-brand peripherals. It was only a matter of time before the company took notice of the ever-growing content capture market, especially with the explosive popularity...
Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut - Xbox One Review
You wake up in a strange, oddly sterile futuristic environment with no memory of how you got there. The perspective is that of first-person, and as you trudge along gamely through the opening bits, you find yourself having to move from one room to another, using clever physics...
Cast of the Seven Godsends - PC Review
There have been a bevy of retro-inspired video games of lately, especially on Steam. Some fare better than others. There is a fine line between paying homage to a classic game and aping them so closely that you lose all sense of originality. Cast of the Seven Godsends actually...
Mionix Announces CASTOR Premium Gaming Mouse
We have covered and enjoyed several pieces of Mionix gaming gear over the last few months. Their new announcement looks promising as well.

Secrets of Grindea - Preview - Better With a Partner
Secrets of Grindea is an Action Adventure RPG that pretty much blew all my expectations out of the water. Currently within Early Access on Steam, it already supports a robust multiplayer, full controller support, numerous skills to choose from, all while being supported by a...
Roving Rogue - Wii U Review
Every now and then there’s something that comes along and takes me pleasantly by surprise. After landing on my desk, I figured that I was in for a good time with a solid platformer in Roving Rogue. This was especially so as my Wii U which doesn’t see much action of late other...
Solarix - PC Review
I have a real soft spot for horror games, and while the traditional settings of haunted houses and graveyards are all well and good, science fiction can make for some pretty tense atmosphere as well. Dead Space and Dead Space two were a couple of my favorite horror titles last...
NeocoreGames announces The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut
The team as a whole (and PY in particular) have been big fans of the Van Helsing games. Looks like we'll get one last reason to go back and play them again.
...
Suikoden III - PS3 Review
Louis this one is for you!
Years ago my above friend did something that I’ve never looked back on or once regretted. He sold me his PS1, which was my move away from Nintendo based consoles for quite a while. Sometime after this he introduced me to what is pretty much a cult...
Monster Truck Destruction - PC Review
Monster Trucks should be all about fun. They are massive, over-powered and over-sized vehicles let loose on tracks to perform stunts and cause some solid carnage. A title called Monster Truck Destruction should be about as entertaining as a game comes, but it is held back by...
LEGO Worlds - PC Preview
Lego worlds is one of those games that has huge potential but forgets a key piece of human psychology: we like things more if we work for it.
Lego worlds drops your khaki clad adventurer into a world created entirely out of Lego blocks. Which made me cringe a little remembering...
Koei Tecmo details the next entry in Samurai Warriors series
Keoi Tecmo shows off some new characters for the upcoming title (releasing this fall). Samurai Warriors 4-II promises to be more character focused than ever.

Victor Vran - PC Review
Victor Vran is an Hack & Slash Action RPG in which players take on the role of the titular character as he makes his way into the city of Zagoravia in search of a fellow hunter and friend gone missing. Before starting up, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone...

With the recent news that Whispering Willows would be coming out for more platforms than its initial PC-only release, we were excited for an opportunity to chat about the title. Here at Chalgyr's Game Room, we were big fans of this game when it first came out, scoring it a 9...
Details on two upcoming Activsion titles
Here are announcements around two upcoming Activision titles, each one calling back to my childhood in a different way.
...
Onechanbara Z2: Chaos - PS4 Review
I’m a certified hack ‘n’ slash expert! Okay, “expert” is probably a bit of a fraudulent stretch. In fact, I certainly and objectively suck compared to the player who can perform a no-damage 30 minute speed-run of Bayonetta on the hardest difficulty whilst, for added challenge...
Battle Fantasia ~Revised Edition~ - PC Review
On the surface, Battle Fantasia ~Revised Edition~ should score high marks with me. I love the fantasy genre and have spent countless hours playing a wide variety of fighting games. As a general rule, I tend to thoroughly enjoy Arc System Works fighting games as well. This updated...
Blood Bowl 2 unveils its Overview Trailer and its pre-order campaign
I like to think of this as a different kind of 'fantasy football'. The latest info is certainly interesting.
...
Sorcerer King - PC Review
The strategy/RPG hybrid may be my favorite gaming genre ever. I cannot tell you the number of hours I sunk into games like Shining Force, Fire Emblem, Warsong, King's Bounty and more. I love the fantasy scenarios, turn-based strategy and the numbers crunching that I do in my...
Turtle Beach Stealth 500X Xbox One Gaming Headset - Hardware Review
Turtle Beach is a powerful brand; there is a reason they hold over 50% of the market share for console accessories and it generally has to do with the fact that they build solid, high quality headsets. With the announcement of the new Turtle Beach Elite 800X headset, we at Chalgyr's...
How about a new trailer for the next Danganronpa game?
This one looks very different from the visual-novel like murder mysteries that comprised the first two Danganronpa games, but we are still holding out hope that this next iteration proves just as entertaining.
...
Anna's Quest - PC Review
Some people seem surprised that the point and click adventure genre has been seeing something of a resurgence over the last couple of years. Those people clearly have not been paying attention to Daedalic Entertainment's offerings, because their titles are almost always excellent,...
Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess - PS4 Review
Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess is a great touch-up on the Deception IV: Blood Ties game. For those who have already had a chance to play the game, this version does not offer a ton of new content, though the additional story and quests certainly provide some fun. If you...
Xbox One Gears bundle announced
Gears is one of those games that actually convinced me to buy an Xbox 360 when I did, and we've been following all Gears news pretty closely in these parts. This announcement really didn't surprise me, but it's nice to see it confirmed.
...
MotoGP 15 - PC Review
At first glance, MotoGP 15 looks very similar to the recently released Project CARS. Those unaware of the two games might believe someone if they were to say that the game on-screen is Project CARS - when in reality it's MotoGP 15. Now when it comes to motorcycle and superbike...
Guncraft: Blocked and Loaded - Xbox 360 Review
What happens when you marry two very different but popular genres? Well, I suppose it depends on the game types you are talking about, but Guncraft: Blocked and Loaded takes FPS popularity and applies it to the block building goodness that games like Minecraft helped to popularize....
New “Halo 5: Guardians” Story Details Revealed at San Diego Comic-Con
Halo 5: Guardians is one of those titles it seems like everyone is tracking, and it's great to see even more information about it coming out via SDCC.

Stonehearth - PC Preview
I have long been a fan of the city-building style of games and to some extent, survival-style games like Minecraft, ARK: Survival Evolved, or Terraria. When Banished was released some time back a new style of city-builder was born, a survival city-building sim that was brutal...
Mionix Sargas 320 Gaming Surface - Hardware Review
We recently had the pleasure of reviewing Mionix's Zibal 60 mechanical keyboard, Nash 20 gaming headset, and their absolutely perfect Naos 8200. Today we bring you Mionix's Sargas 320 gaming surface, an affordable mouse mat designed to be portable and of the highest quality....
Space Exploration Tile-Based Board Game Galaxy of Trian Goes Digital in 2015
We love our board games here, and strategy and science fiction? This all seems like a pretty promising mix.
...
Dex - PC Review
I first caught wind of Dex while browsing KickStarter some time back and was immediately interested in the title as it is a cyberpunk 2D action RPG and I am sorely starved for games that are cyberpunk. For such a rich and interesting style, cyberpunk is a sorely underrepresented...
Masterspace - PC Review
Nick hooked me into reviewing this game by telling me “it’s essentially Minecraft in space” but it was also made of fully destructible worlds rather than the Minecraft blocky style and featured space exploration. I was stoked! But I was also cautious. The game was getting some...
Q.U.B.E.: Director's Cut is landing on consoles soon
Having played and enjoyed this title on PC some time ago, it's nice to see it getting a proper console release with some updated materials.

LEGO Jurassic World - Mac Review
Dinosaurs. LEGOs. Those two things alone should spark the imagination of almost any kid - I certainly recall them coming together frequently in my childhood, and they seem like a perfect pairing for a video game as well. That the recent Jurassic World movie was such a huge success...
Area-X - PC Review
Area-X continues the theme of visual novels that look to add a little bit of something extra to the presentation. Once upon a time, these games were often little more than fully scripted scenes that sometimes you had a chance to impact with some choices. Now games are sprinkling...
