Given the current state of affairs in the world, it’s no surprise that a lot of stories set in the future depict dystopian societies. It helps too that there’s plenty of topics to explore that haven’t yet been mined for all they’re worth. State of Mind from Daedalic Entertainment is one of those games. Set…
Dishonored was one of my favorite games of 2012 and it’s great to see its gametime getting an extension through downloadable content. Dunwall City Trials might not be exactly what you may be looking for when it comes to a game like Dishonored, due to its focus on score competition and leaderboards, but it does…
There’s something to playing Monster Hunter that no other game provides. I’ve been hunting since Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii, and I still haven’t been able to pin just what exactly makes the series so special. Maybe it’s the amount of things you get to do at any given time, with ample opportunities to get…
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of landing a particularly intricate combo at just the right time in a Street Fighter IV match. The further advancements the series makes to the core formula, the more complex fights get and the better the player you are, the deeper you get into the ins and outs of…
There’s always something special about games with deceptively weak protagonists. It’s easy to just call them off and go for the burly types, but in my mind, it’s way more fun when intelligence beats brawn with its own medicine. That’s what Alawar Entertainment hopes to bring to the table with Goliath, a game with 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…
The Crew is Ubisoft’s newest attempt at setting an extra stake in yet another type of open world game. This time, they’re going for (what they really want you to believe how seedy it is) world of street racing. There’s an absurd amount of side stuff to do as you fit into the boots of…
Sparklite isn’t a terribly long or difficult game — and that’s great. With how many games vie for our attention these days, something quick and simple always makes for a nice change of pace. Being able to play a game from start to finish without having to invest weeks worth of play is a godsend…
I have to admit that I didn’t come too hot off of Bethesda’s reveal of Doom back at E3 2015. After years and years of languishing in development limbo, the little bit that was shown of Doom didn’t make an impact on me, but luckily, it turned out to be one of the best first-person…
E3 2014 has been one of my favorite shows so far. That’s mostly due to the huge amount of games that not only came out of nowhere and surprised the heck out of me, but because the a few of the known quantities also managed to make pretty good showings. Here are a few of…
