Remember how we all laughed together and said how terrible 2016 was? Well, it turns out 2017 was even worse overall. Luckily there was a bevy of great games to keep our worries at bay. Indie gaming in particular had a great year, with such…
There aren’t a lot of options out there when it comes to holiday video games. Almost all of them are Christmas games, and the handful of Hanukkah ones are outright terrible – often quickly thrown together or full of racist stereotypes. Good luck finding any…
Inkle Studios’ 80 Days is one of the few games I would all perfect. What is a perfect game? It’s easy to say there is no such thing. But I think a game can be considered perfect it flawlessly executes on its vision as a…
For video game crowdfunding, you can do a lot better than Indiegogo. In fact, Indiegogo might be the worst option available. Between a laissez-faire approach to quality control, scams, spam, bad publicity, and allegedly misleading and unhelpful leadership, Indiegogo might be the worst crowdfunding site….
I wasn’t sure what to expect with Where the Water Tastes Like Wine (previous coverage). I knew it was going to be story based with multiple endings and stories to uncover, but I figured there’d be combat still, a series of pictures, maybe a simple overworld UI where…
Yooka-Laylee is still the worst game of 2017 by quite a stretch, even after its recent (depending on your platform of choice) “Green & Purple” update. I just wanted to get that out of the way now to underscore just how bad the game is,…
The visual novel has long languished in the world of Otacon’s Japanese animes. The best the genre has to offer, the worst, and the most mediocre are dominated by one archetype – anime. For over a decade, the name of the genre conjures the same…
Change is in the air, readers. Leaves are beginning to fall from trees, leaving piles of amber plant matter everywhere. Soon the bare branches will hold snow. At least, if you’re lucky enough to live in a place where snow isn’t a fever dream and…
Everything can change anything at any time. That’s what you typically hear from the social media sphere whenever something new is introduced, especially in the tech field. Sometimes it plays out exactly that way, like the iPhone. But most of the time our grand proclamations…
It’s not often that we get a World War I game, much less one that’s a first person shooter. That’s exactly what EA gave us last year with Battlefield 1, whom continues drip-feeding players content that should have been there from the start. Now imagine…
It’s Summer here in the Northern Hemisphere; which means it’s time to spend some beautifully sunny days sequestered inside frigidly air conditioned gaming caves. It also means that at E3 2017 an army of publisher PR flacks unleashed a torrent of silver tongued promises. As…
The world is not the same as it once was. Governments have fallen, armies of undead and unthinking masses roam the wastes, and you’re left all alone to defend yourself and your family. The societal structure that you trusted to keep peace and order has…
The general consensus of this year’s E3 is that it’s been rather bland. There haven’t been any big new announcements or surprises, just trailers for games we’ve already known about. Most disappointingly of all has been the lack of indie games. The biggest surprise this…
We’re used to Sony blowing us out of the water with their conferences. Whether it’s announcing a slew of new games, or giving spotlight to smaller indie titles, they typically bring the heat. But last night’s Sony E3 press conference was little more than the…
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is progressing nicely. It’s not playing hide and seek like its Japanese cousin, Shenmue 3, and it’s no MIA like Echoes of Eternea. At last year’s E3, lead developer Koji Igarashi revealed not only gameplay, but also a backer exclusive…
