Hey all - just a quick note that we'll be article-free until July 5th next week. We're going to spend a couple of extra days eating food, drinking beers and of course, playing video games...
God Wars: Future Past - PS4 Review
There have been a handful of excellent RPG/strategy games that have released so far in 2017, and God Wars: Future Past hangs in there with a nice mix of old school sensibilities with some modern touches that make it an enjoyable adventure until the end...
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls - PS4 Review
There comes a point in one's life where they simply have to accept the facts. Danganronpa is a prime example of this as it continues to raise the bar on each subsequent entry. Thinking that the first title had set the bar for insanity, craziness and the darkness that mankind...
Planet Nomads - PC Preview
Note to self that if I ever, ever, get on a spaceship? I should stay away from the escape pods. Why? Because in this title I find myself once again crash landing on a planet’s surface. Planet Nomads is exactly what I had expected out of Lacuna Passage, with a variety...
Dead Effect 2 VR - PC / VR Preview
Dead Effect 2 VR is a ridiculous, bombastic experience that probably would not be nearly as much fun on a standard monitor, but makes great use of the virtual reality technology. There are some rough edges, it's an Early Access title, but so far things are looking pretty...
Nadia Was Here - PC Review
About this time last year I took a look at the Kickstarter Demo for Nadia Was Here, and upon booting it up again I felt just as at home with it now as I did then. Being able to go further than the first hour this time around, Nadia the Thief, Hogan the grouchy old Warrior...
Perception - PS4 Review
Perception is a tough one to review, because it is a relatively short game that is at its core very similar to a lot of other action/horror titles out there. However, a clever mechanic combined with a very cool visual style helps to creates some excellent atmosphere that...
Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls - PC Review
Superdimension Neptune vs. Sega Hardgirls is the latest installment in the Neptunia franchise making its way to PC. As a cross-over between the Sega Hardgirls and Neptunia franchises, we see IF finally taking a spotlight role. Drawing from the Neptunia format with revamped...
Farming Simulator 18 - 3DS Review
It is disgusting how addictive this game is. As with every game in this franchise, Farming Simulator 18 should really be called Farming Equipment Driver 18 since pretty much all you do is drive in as straight of a line as possible with various farming equipment to grow crops...
Marvel Heroes Omega - PS4 Review
Marvel Heroes Omega delivers some fantastic action and an addicting loot gathering loop that should appeal to fans of Diablo-style gameplay. Even better however, is the rich universe that Gazillion Entertainment has to draw on here, with a huge list of characters, plenty...
WARTILE - PC Preview
In recent years board games have really taken off. I personally think it has to do with the popularity of crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and the fact that many of the successfully backed board game projects actually get delivered to backers. As the physical board games...
Week in Review - June 19th to the 23rd
The week started off with the console release of Thea: The Awakening which is one hell of an interesting 4X title. Having played it myself on the PC I'm happy to see that the console port is a good one.
"t can be a dicey proposition blending together a handful of different...
Ys Origin - Vita Review
Ys Origin was originally released for PC in 2012, and has finally received a PS4/PSVita port this year. Created as a prequel to the other Ys games, Ys Origin takes place roughly 700 years before the events of Ys I and provides backstory of the world. With a story that will...
Total War: WARHAMMER - Mac Review
I have historically been extremely critical of the Warhammer/Warhammer 40k franchise so when I first learned of Total War: Warhammer I was a bit skeptical. I love the Total War series and with the exception of Total War: Attila they have produced some of the best strategy...
Cities: Skylines - Xbox One Review
Cities: Skylines has successfully stolen quite a few hours of my life and taught me that the urban architecture in my home city leaves a lot to be desired. With its ability to create your own city design right down to the roads and the great detail available on each of your...
Everspace - Xbox One Review
Everspace is a single-player space shooter that takes its primary gameplay influences from roguelike games, and rather than dungeon diving you are careening through stunning sectors of dangerous space. With a captivating story, massive 3D environments, fast-paced and brutal...
Thea: The Awakening - PS4 Review
Thea: The Awakening is a mishmash of different genres that could have come out feeling jumbled and confused. However, some smart design choices allows Thea to be something bigger and better than the sum of its parts and brings its interesting experience over from PC to console...
Week in Review - June 12th to the 16th
Things were a bit quiet this week with E3 but that can also depend on what you were doing. With the Skaven running right at you? Things are never quiet! Monday saw our thoughts on the newest addition to Warhammer: End Time with Vermintide's Stormdorf.
"...I seriously hope...
The Town of Light - PS4 Review
The Town of Light is a fascinating if unsettling story that is seen through the eyes of a sixteen year old girl. The visual style is unique if not fantastic, with a thick atmosphere that is held back by limited gameplay. This is an adventure game that can fall into the walking...
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy - Episode 2: Under Pressure - PS4 Review
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy - Episode 2: Under Pressure continues what the first episode began, putting together an interesting tale about a group of misfits who are as often their own worst enemies as they are best friends to one another. Still, the quirky but lovable...
The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier Episode 5: From The Gallows - PS4 Review
The last episode in almost every Telltale Game winds up being the best in the series, but The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier Episode 5: From The Gallows continues the trends we saw throughout the entire New Frontier series. For better or worse, this was...
Kenshi - PC Preview
Kenshi, which has been in Early Access for quite some time now, is labeled as a free-roaming squad based RPG. There’s no real direction other than the one that you wish to take which is refreshing as even most open world games have an agenda. Skyrim? Kill Dragons. Witcher...
