For as much as I talk about and praise the recent resurgence of adventure games under a more modern design philosophy, whenever there’s a release that sticks to the roots of the genre, somewhere deep in my mind, my twelve year old self smiles and rubs his hands, gingerly. As a fan of adventure games…
Well, it’s over. And it didn’t take long at all to come out. Left with a bang. I hope you’re happy. We’re once again at the finishing line for a season of The Walking Dead. And this time, for once in my personal history playing Telltale’s games, I really don’t want to go back and…
Games are a powerful medium. Like a good book or thrilling movie, they can make you feel incredible at times, but given care, there are times when they bring about feelings like nothing else. The Swapper, for instance, makes you feel like a genius every time you manage to find a solution to one of…
The name Spintires doesn’t offer a whole lot of confidence right off the grid. It’s extremely bland and doesn’t say anything other than the most basic thing that a road vehicle does. So when you boot up a game with this sort of name, expectations start off very low, and in most cases, you meet…
There’s no point in sugar-coating this review. Episode four of the current season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead is one hell of a ride. It’s tightly packed in a three hour blow to blow action block that not only ramps up the tension to even higher levels, after the already insane events of the previous…
Evolve is the perfect name for Turtle Rock Studios’ newest first person shooter. It works on so many levels.

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…
Daedalic’s lineup at E3 continued on after that look at The Devil’s Men with a return to the beautifully crafted environments of The Whispered World in Silence, a direct sequel to the 2010 hit that starred sad clown Sadwick. Silence picks up years after the events of the original, as Noah is now an older…
Who would’ve known Borderlands could ever be made into an adventure game? For one, the folks at Telltale Games. Tales from the Borderlands is their newest episodic game set in the crazy world of Pandora, that follows the events right after the end of Borderlands 2. Whether or not you were wondering what was going on…
Quietly scheduled a few weeks before E3, my appointment with Daedalic was incredibly unassuming. I’ve been a fan of their games ever since laying eyes on The Whispered World, and as an adventure game aficionado, I couldn’t help but be very interested in the chance of meeting some of the folks behind many of the…
