A Fistful of Gun – Review  I never really got into spaghetti westerns when I was a kid. For whatever reasons, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood never held as much sway in my tastes as say, Mark Hamill did. So, when I was assigned A Fistful of Gun for review, I was a bit apprehensive about whether my enjoyment of the game would be tied to my knowledge of the old west. Fortunately, I couldn’t have...[Read More]

Samurai Warriors 4-2 – Review I’m honestly not sure what’s going on with Omega Force; their PC division to be exact. I’ve had the chance to review some of their previous outings as they got ported to my favoured platform, yet both Dynasty Warriors 8 and Toukiden: Kiwami turned out to be a bloody mess, each in its own particular way. I even went as far as to denounce the developer, which ...[Read More]

  System Shock Enhanced Edition – Review  System Shock is a game that most gamers know, but many have never played through to completion. It’s probably not an experience the unacquainted would enjoy, but one enthusiasts should invest some time in. No matter how good the game was then, it’ll end up frustrating even the most forgiving gamers. If it’s not the archaic controls, then the...[Read More]

STAIRS Review    Stairs is a psychological horror game created by a small group of Indie developers, Greylight Entertainment, based out of Sweden. This game has been 4 years in the making and at one time earlier this year even had its own kickstarter campaign. Unfortunately funding wasn’t reached and the campaign was canceled, but the developers were still committed to completing and releasin...[Read More]

The Escapists: The Walking Dead Review    Wise man says never judge a book by its cover. An even wiser man said to never judge a game’s cuteness by its lack of pixels. In a very much more identical than not follow up to Mouldy Toof’s release earlier this year, The Escapists, comes the in-house developed The Escapists: The Walking Dead by Publisher/Developer Team17 Digital Ltd., along with c...[Read More]

Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma Volume 1 Review    Oh man; where do I start with Afro Samurai 2? I’m not a big fan of the franchise, but I love all the ingredients of the series. Japanese samurai and ninjas, cybernetics, a dash of Western gunfighting, and The Rza’s blend of Hip Hop to liven it all up. It’s a series that has undeniable style. My biggest problem with this game though lies w...[Read More]

Snail Bob 2 Review   Snail Bob 2 is such an odd title for a video game newly released on Steam without having a previous predecessor launched in the past. What happened to Snail Bob 1? After playing only a few minutes of Snail Bob 2, I decided to do a bit of research and look into the oddball title. Apparently, there are 8 of these games, and they can all be found online – free to play – hos...[Read More]

SOMA Review    The most effective and efficient horror comes not from what is shown, but from that which is implied. Similarly, in gaming, the most memorable implications are those we come across ourselves, through figuring things out on our own without much developer interference. SOMA is a game built upon these very premises. Developers have gone out of their way to build an experience that d...[Read More]

I Can’t Escape: Darkness Review    Randomness is not an easy thing to pull off in games. How does one design a truly random system without the game in question devolving into an RNG-induced madness or a horrible grindfest where that 1% drop may well never spawn? Indeed, a component of true unpredictability may well make a game that much more interesting if handled properly, but it can also ru...[Read More]

Skyshine’s Bedlam Review    When I first saw Skyshine’s Bedlam at this year’s E3, I got to talk to John Mueller, Art Director on the project. Sitting down with the game, he told me of his team’s love of post-apocalyptic tales of survival, and their drive to bring it to the public. The idea originally started as a modified game of D&D, heavily inspired by properties like Judge Dredd,...[Read More]

Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime Review    Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a new-ish Indie game on Steam and Xbox One by developers Asteroid Base, who are obviously going for a theme here. Before we dig into the meat of this succulent review allow me to say something here, I really enjoyed this game but I was under a tight schedule while reviewing it; so if I miss out on a point of interest o...[Read More]

Cross of the Dutchman Review    Cross of the Dutchman is a perplexing game. It is amazingly ambitious for an indie title, but is on the borderline of being too simplistic. It takes advantage of an amazing legend, but focuses entirely on his days as a farmer. It deals with heavy subject material, but everything come across very light. It’s not a bad game by any means, but it misses so many opp...[Read More]
