Gray Matter Review   Quickly, how many of you know who Jane Jansen is? Raise your hands, please. Yeah, Iâm kidding, I canât see you either way, so you can put them down. If youâre an old school adventure gamer, thereâs a good chance youâve been a fan of her work. Iâm talking about the legendary Gabriel Knight series, of course. Jansen hasnât had any newer projects, aside from the o...[Read More]
Bound By Flame Review   Iâve been checking Bound by Flame out ever since the first gameplay trailer emerged. Funny thing with RPGs such as this is that their trailers always show them at their best, with attacks connecting perfectly and a minimal amount of glitches. This has been true for as long as I can remember, with both The Witcher and Dragon Age: Origins falling into the same trap. Whatâ...[Read More]
There is something remarkably special about an audience looking upon your creation favorably to the extent that they allow the game to grow to its peak. Giving your audience the power and partial control over your project awards the fans by welcoming them as executive developers. This title grants them email and social network contact with the designers themselves, using it to advise and critique ...[Read More]
I’ll have to admit that I had some hardships playing Full Bore at first. It takes time to unwind itself, and it’s up to the player to maintain momentum via puzzle solving until interesting stuff starts happening, but once it did, there was no puzzle complicated enough for me to give up playing. This is a game with many layers, and one has to understand what he/she’s getting into before starting it...[Read More]
Elder Scrolls Online Review   Itâs hard not to be extremely cynical when an old, beloved franchise announces that theyâre releasing an MMO. I rarely hear any demand for such a thing; no Conan fans suddenly felt the need for an MMO and fans of Knights of the Old Republic would (still) rather see a third entry in the series. That hasnât stopped Bethesda from spending the last 7 years looking...[Read More]
Canyon Capers Review   During the past few years, with the surge of the Indie game, we have seen a great many platform games come onto the market. Some take us back to our beloved retro gaming years, and some leaving us crying out loud that someone has just ripped off a game we spent much too much of our child hood (some more than others) playing in front of the TV on a SNES or Sega Megadrive....[Read More]
Wargame Red Dragon Review  In recent years, there has been a serious lack of good strategy games for us to sink our teeth into. It seems as if the genre is being overlooked in spite of its rich history and pedigree, giving place to mindless shooters that simply sell more. Thatâs not to say that there arenât any good strategies, of course. Thereâs Total War, Company of Heroes, Warhammer and ...[Read More]
Life Goes On Review  Life Goes On has a name seems somewhat unfortunate, should you ask me. Knight Murder Simulator might be the better title, for the one it currently has nearly made me skip the game. You know how it is â with all the indies currently being thrown around on Steam, itâs all too easy to start judging games by their names. Thankfully, Life Goes On ended up in my paws, disregar...[Read More]
Infinity Wars Review   I have to admit that I installed Infinity Wars without expecting too much of it. With two high profile TCG games already on Steam (Duels of Champions, Magic: The Gathering), itâs hard to imagine how a brand new game could ever compete with these leviathans. As it turns out, Infinity Wars does many things as good as these franchises do, and some even better. Every good TC...[Read More]
Windforge Review   Iâve been excited about Windforge ever since I saw a gameplay trailer last year, with the player building his own airship, hunting flying whales (!) and skirmishing against steampunk pirates. It looked as if itâs going to blow every other similar game out of the water once it comes out. Except maybe Starbound, but thatâs a whole different story. Windforge promised to tak...[Read More]
