Armello is a turn-based strategy game wherein you and three other players fight for control of the throne. It’s essentially a virtual tabletop game, as evident by its use of cards and dice and how they’re presented. It’s a bit formidable at first, what with all the systems and mechanics at play (especially as someone…
There has never been a time quite like my appointment with the fine folks at Frontier over at E3. It was so surprising that I had to come in for a second time just to play more of the game. But before we get into that, a little on what was actually shown during the…
Going in to see a Sniper game probably doesn’t sound too appealing to most players unfamiliar the series. Admitedly, I was also kind of skeptical about this appointment myself. But after sitting through a particularly harowing and well put together demo that was played to tactical perfection by one of, the members of IC Games’,…
Relativity is a game you have to play to truly grasp. Just looking at screenshots of its winding, complex levels doesn’t quite communicate how your supposed to interact with the space, let alone navigate it.

The beautiful colors and soothing sounds of its world had me completely enraptured. It was the perfect escape from all the noise and lights of E3. Shape of the World drops you…
The problem with most competitive puzzle games I’ve played is that they feel like they all boil down to who can make matches faster. And due to the random distribution of blocks, it makes competition a matter of luck rather than skill. Games like Tetris try to fix that by allowing you to hold blocks…
Evolve is the perfect name for Turtle Rock Studios’ newest first person shooter. It works on so many levels. For one, it’s the natural evolution from the game that put them on the spotlight, Left4Dead. As a team of four cooperatively playing humans, it’s your task to defeat a continuously growing monster who happens to…
Alien: Isolation aims to right all the wrongs that videogames based on the iconic movie franchise have managed to make over the years. Put together by The Creative Assembly, a group known for hardcore strategy games, Isolation looks to be THE Alien game to look out for. The E3 presentation featured a segment of the…
