   I love turn-based strategy games, so the prospect of a tactical soccer game sounded amazing to me.  A strategic football game where you control every player in momentary increments.  The game’s premise is pretty easy to grasp, especially if you’re a football fan, but being American I only know enough to play a few rounds of FIFA with friends.  My strategy usually falls to taking th...[Read More]

  How difficult can naming your game be, really? After all the work you’ve invested in the damned thing, all the hours you’ve lost getting tangled up in the code, with bugs popping up left and right… surely, coming up with a title for your project is a trivial matter in comparison. Alas, that doesn’t seem to be the case, as far as Bitbox Games are concerned at the very least. Here I a...[Read More]

  I’m the target audience for The Rivers of Alice- I’m a huge fan of point and click adventures, puzzle games, and indie art titles. I came into this game expecting a richer, more PC-oriented experience based on a game that was lauded by pocket gamers. Sadly, this extended version just simply isn’t ready for prime time and became tedious through the few hours of gameplay it does offer. ...[Read More]

  Â For many players of the tabletop Warhammer Fantasy game Mordheim, the mystery of what happened once the mysterious twin-tailed comet fell remained mostly unresolved, annoyingly so. Even though the city popped up on an ocassional map or two, little was known of what exactly remained of the once-illustrious town of Mordheim. At long last, Mordheim: City of the Damned resolves that curiosity...[Read More]

  Â Once a developer has a popular IP or two under their belt, people tend to forget about their previous, less well-known releases. Take Bungie for example, whose Halo vastly overshadows, say, Marathon. Or perhaps the authors of Divinity: Original Sin, in whose case the mediocrity of their previous work got forgiven and forgotten really, really fast (and for good reason). The same thing happ...[Read More]

  Â Before I begin this review allow me to say that coming into Krosmaster Arena, I had no prior knowledge whatsoever about Krosmaster, WAKFU, or anything else Ankama had previously developed. To clarify, Ankama Studios are the developers and creators of Krosmaster Arena, which is based on the tabletop board game of the same name. Krosmaster Arena (both versions of the game) take place in the...[Read More]

   Maybe it’s because I used to have a small crush on Roman History, and seeing Latin names used correctly rekindled that love slightly. Maybe it’s because this game billed itself as “recreating the thrills and adrenaline experienced by Rome’s most talented warriors.” All I know for sure at this point is that I went in excited, and came out with a rather sour taste in my mouth. &nb...[Read More]

Alpha Polaris: A Horror Adventure Game Review  The best way I can describe Alpha Polaris is with the tried and true Fruit Stripe gum analogy. Awesome packaging, amazing flavor- but shortly after biting down and chewing it for awhile it becomes very obvious the manufacturer doesn’t understand longevity. The benefits quickly disappear, and you’re left chewing a stale piece that use to have so m...[Read More]

Bedlam Review    Do you remember how bad 90’s first-person shooters were? Of course you do; with their horrible narratives and blocky environments. It’s all terribly embarrassing. We all played games like Quake, Wolfenstein and the like- but going back to these experiences can be cringe-inducing. What if I told you though, that there’s a new game that parodied these early FPSs, complete w...[Read More]
