I’m going to win the next one for sure!

Killer Queen Black is tense and thrilling
The arcade hit makes its way to the comfort of your own home splendidly.
Tooth and Tail is a more approachable take on real-time strategy
Anytime a game comes along that purports to take an otherwise complex and inaccessible genre and make it more welcoming toward newcomers, I’m usually at least somewhat interested. Anything that can make games more widely accessible is always a good thing, especially when it applies to genres that traditional have a high barrier to entry. […]
A look at Armello’s Usurpers DLC
Armello’s changed a bit since its release last year. Like so many other multiplayer games on Steam, the digital board game has added item chests and keys, allowing players to obtain cosmetic items (new dice, in this case) either through a coin toss at the end of a match or by buying them via the […]
Tumblestone Review – Tumble, don’t fall
Multiplayer puzzle games are difficult to pull off. Making the act of puzzle solving into a competition doesn’t translate well to most match-3 puzzlers, often taking the slow-paced nature of those games and throwing another player or two into the mix to try speeding things up. It seldom works, usually resulting in a boring, tacked-on […]
E3 2016: Battlefield 1 Hands-on Multiplayer Impressions – Merry ol’ mayhem
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 […]
E3 2015 – Multiplayer shooter Strike Vector comes to consoles with a new single-player campaign
You might have heard of Strike Vector before. Released last year on PC, it was a multiplayer shooter in the vein of games like Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 (in terms of speed) that, apparently, died off rather fast. Now it’s coming to consoles later this year as Strike Vector EX, hoping to fix many […]
The Last of Us Remastered Review
2014 has seen its share of high definition remakes. Although most of these re-releases are ultimately unnecessary, there’s something to be said about The Last of Us Remastered. Released around the one year mark of the original Playstation 3 release, Remastered takes the base game and all of its season pass content that includes the […]
Awesomenauts Assemble Review
The term MOBA – or online multiplayer battle arena – is one of the least descriptive genre names in video games. It’s as obtuse as many of the games occupying that space. Awesomenauts, however, is different. Instead of being complex and near indecipherable for the first hundred hours, it’s simple and straightforward. It’s a MOBA […]
Gun Monkeys Review
In the distant future, the human race is wiped from the Earth following a failed perpetual energy experiment. Well, technically it succeeded – energy now rains from the sky – but the whole everyone being dead thing kinda puts a damper on it. Not that it’s going to stop clever entrepreneurs like yourself. In Gun […]
