I always feel a special kind of tinge in my heart whenever I get to see a game that’s inspired by Super Meat Boy. It’s that kind of feeling that marries well with the dread I’m certain to feel right afterwards, when my poor character has lived through what cats would consider eons. Fenix Rage…
Battlecry seemed like my kind of multiplayer game from the get go. Coming out of a very positive presentation at the Bethesda booth, we quickly got our hands on time with the game. My hopes were then confirmed, even this early on in Battlecry‘s development. Heading this project is Battlecry Studios, a company put together by…
The Rainbow Six: Vegas series holds a special place in my heart as the host of some of my best multiplayer memories. The mix of realistic tactical gameplay and great game modes made those two games so much fun that it pained me to see Rainbow Six take a back seat after Patriots’ cancellation. All’s…
It seems almost fitting that my experience with the first part of Dark Souls 2’s Crowns of the Fallen Kings DLC trilogy – Crown of the Sunken King – began with all my equipment broken. I was given control of a standard warrior archetype wielding a Longsword and a shield, only both of those things…
Hellraid is probably the least exciting game when you read it off a press release or an E3 lineup. What could a medieval fantasy hack and slash offer that something like Skyrim didn’t already do to death? The basic premise is of a lone hero who joins forces with a powerful mage in order to put…
I have a big soft spot for State of Decay, a game that came out of nowhere last year and left its mark as more than just a Grand Theft Auto clone with zombies. A year later, we’re getting yet another DLC, titled Lifeline. Lifeline, unlike Undead Labs’ first go at DLC with Breakdown, includes…
We’re finally closing in on a resolution to The Wolf Among Us. While Episode 4 throws out a boat ton of answers, it lifts and spins a Titanic load of questions for good measure. Oh, and a pretty awesome fight too. Even with Bigsby on the mend after his beating in the hands of Bloody…
Regardless of the fact that it shares its namesake with a weak mid-90s revival of a certain action star, Daylight surprisingly does a lot of the same that that movie did wrong. It’s part of a horror game revival movement that includes many similarly looking titles already, trying to stand out by offering an apparently…
There’s a certain sense of accomplishment when you manage to finish a level in Trials Fusion without any faults. While it’s easy to breeze through the initial chunk of stages, it doesn’t take long before you are hitting the ‘redo’ button over and over again, all the while, your poor on screen rider repeatedly falls…
Transistor wastes no time in jumping straight to the action. Rather than a long preamble to set the stage, the first thing you see is the protagonist looming over a dead body impaled by a massive sword. It’s a striking scene – one that raises tons of questions, but provides no answers. Transistor simply trusts…
