The original Outlast was one of the most disturbing games I have ever played. It wasn’t just because of its subject matter and how it was mostly set in the dark, but due to just how well all of its horror elements played together and scared the hell out of me all throughout my time playing it. Or…
E3 isn’t usually a good place to show off slow, quiet games since the loud noise and bright lights of the show floor are hard to tune out. That doesn’t stop anyone from trying, of course, nor the demos from succeeding. Deliver Us The Moon from Keoken Interactive was one of those demos. It’s a…
It should be no secret to anyone that adventure games have played a significant part in my gaming career. Although I’ve had my up and downs with the genre, I could always count on European developers for their unique takes, such as Microids’ Syberia series. Even though it’s been well over ten years since I’ve played Syberia…
Supergiant Games has built an interesting collection of work. First they began with a traditional action role-playing game in Bastion, then a strategy/action game hybrid in Transistor, and now a role-playing game/sports hybrid with Pyre. You can never tell what they’re gonna make next, but if there’s one thing you can count on, it’s that…
The biggest surprises of this year’s E3 came in form of impromptu interview opportunities that popped up during our appointments at the show. One of these happened when we stopped by Square Enix’s spacious booth for a showing of their JRPGs. Instead of the usual demo and information overload that everyone who writes about games at…
There’s no trying to deny that I’ve always been a fan of the Mafia games. The first one made its way to PCs shortly after Grand Theft Auto III, and even though that other game went on to become a huge hit, Mafia had its own devoted fan base, who like me, really got into…
Multiplayer focused games are kind of my personal curse. When I really like the mechanics of one in particular, I tend to get really interested and excited in playing it, then, after a few weeks with it, I stop playing. It’s been like that for years, probably due to the way I play games and…
In a surprising bit of news at the beginning of the year, Electronic Arts announced that they would not be part of E3 this year. The plan was to host an off-site event instead, right next door to the show proper, in downtown Los Angeles. EA Sports was there in full force, with a trio…
Square Enix prepared a cavalcade of Deus Ex games to show at E3, and the last one I got to check out during my appointment was Deus Ex GO, the newest entry in the GO series, which so far I’ve sorely missed playing, to my own fault, according to the many raving reviews I’ve read….
Coming in as a little surprise bonus to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Breach is a free add-on mode that will come with all copies of the main game when that’s out in August. Breach plays a lot like the main game, but takes place inside a virtual reality, in which a hacker, who’s just joined…
