  It’s not about killing; it’s about killing with style. This is the mantra behind Four Door Lemon Ltd.’s latest endeavor – 101 Ways to Die. Slated to release on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 soon this year, the game itself is a physics-based puzzle game with a bit of a bloody twist. Though, before I go into details about that particular twist, a bit of backstory. You are a new assistant to t...[Read More]

 I rarely get wrapped up in MMORPGs, and I’ve only dabbled in the major IPs, but Black Desert had me rethinking my decision. I mean, Fallout 4 is taking up a lot of my time recently, and I don’t see how it’s any different than those dreaded ‘time-drains’ like World of Warcraft or Star Wars Galaxies. I think my biggest hurdle is that these AAA titles usually get mediocre review scores, a...[Read More]

   Developer Sandbox Interactive launched their closed beta for their cross-platform MMORPG, Albion Online, last month, and I’m here to tell you a bit about my experience playing it. Before I dive into my experience though, here’s a little background on the game itself for those unaware of what type of game Albion Online is. The game is a sandbox MMORPG, meaning you have pretty much tota...[Read More]

  When I went to art school, the period I loved the most was Surrealist. Bending my environment and using the outlandish to express my emotions, it all just made sense. Without making any at all. Between Me and The Night seems to be trying to walk that line, in what the developer calls “the thin path between sanity and madness.” Of course, when I saw the game I hopped all over it, ready t...[Read More]

  Â Friends, loved ones, gather around the website for a comprehensive tale of my time with a game perhaps all too familiar to many. When I was given the opportunity to take the new EKO Software game How To Survive 2 for a preview spin, I made sure I acquainted myself with the previous installment. For those as unfamiliar as I was, How to Survive is a top-down, survival-based zombie apocalyps...[Read More]

   I’ve had some limited experience with Infectonator up until now, mainly on Android. The premise is similar to that of Plague.inc, in that the player has to infect as many healthy humans as possible, effectively killing them. This is where the two games (partially) diverge though, as Infectonator dead’uns turn into zombies who, in turn, kill and infect even more people. As a crazed sci...[Read More]

NOCT Preview  -The last survivor I tried to help didn’t make it. I need you to loot the carcass. -That’s fucked up. -Don’t make this any wierder than it already is. Noct is a very, very distinctly grim experience. Interestingly similar to Limbo in that regard, the game places us in the boots of, essentially, two characters at the same time. The above discourse is one of the several that pla...[Read More]

 Colonies Online Preview    For a while now, we’ve been living in an age where video games are no longer a one-off purchase. MMORPG titles aside, about seven years ago it was normal to pay 40-60$ for a game, take it home and enjoy the investment for as long as you wanted to. With the dawn of the digital age, however, this all changed. Not only do prices fluctuate wildly now, but there’s al...[Read More]

Might and Magic: Heroes VII Beta Preview     I’ll be honest- I suck at turn-based strategy games. I’m familiar with the challenge and understand the way the game is supposed to be played; I even took some extra time to look up strategies online- but it’s no use. I’m simply a noob, and I even struggle beating the computer on easy mode. It’s been 3 versions since I’ve last played the...[Read More]
