Never Alone: Kisima Ingitchuna is certainly a striking game. That’s mostly thanks to its unique roots, that grew out of the very rich background of the native folk of Alaska. And while it took quite a bit of time to see this particular culture get the spotlight in a game, it was very well worth…
Massively multiplayer online games have been around for quite a while, but their influence on single player focused games has only started becoming obvious over the last few years. For better or for worse, the borrowing of MMO elements in what otherwise would be a standard, scripted experience has seen its share of the sunlight…
For as great as some of your favorite games might be, I bet very few of them are worth revisiting after you are through with them. In my case, that’s generally what happens, anyway. For Shadow of Mordor, I’m in a crossroad, after being done with most of what it had to offer. If you take into…
And here we have it, yet another year the world has avoided certain destruction and another gigantic 12 months of videogame releases.

Although not exactly the most difficult or action driven game out there, their newest series starts out with an incredible bang in episode one, titled Iron from Ice. Starring one of the lesser…
The saying goes that if you want to steal from someone, you might as well steal from the best. While nobody could ever go as far as saying Shadow of Mordor steals, it certainly borrows the best elements of some of the most fun stealth games around and makes terrific use of them in one…
Survival horror sure has gone to the deep end in the years following its inception as a description given to a certain niche of games. What began with a healthy dose of originality with the Alone in the Dark games and saw a big boost thanks to the first Resident Evil, lasting for a while…
