There are many things Not A Hero is not. Besides being a hero, of course. It’s not a game for the faint of heart, for one. It’s probably one of the most intense indie games you’re likely to play. It is also not at all bad. In fact, if there’s one thing Not A Hero…
Shovel Knight, in the simplest of terms, is the ultimate Capcom NES game that never was. If you go further defining it, though, it’s much more than a mere retro-styled indie game. Yacht Club Games has lovingly created Shovel Knight to play like an NES game, sure, but their care went well beyond just emulating…
2001: A Space Odyssey is still what I would consider to be one of the best films of all time. Despite the fact that the futuristic universe 2001 imagined has never come, it has an unrivalled aesthetic, soundtrack, and style which remains second-to-none. The special effects, impressive beyond anything seen before in 1968 are still…
Adventure games might be in constant shift nowadays, but there’s nothing like a classically styled title like The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 to remind us that the genre is still very much alive and kicking.

It’s cheap. And most of all, it supports a modding community. Skylines is the SimCity that everyone wanted at a much more aggressive price point. If…
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…
Surprise plays a huge part in anyone’s enjoyment of a game. Seeing what something you’ve never heard about actually shapes up to be can either be the reason to start humming Ode to Joy or curse the waste of time and money you’ve just started playing. In the case of Grow Home, the overpowering feeling…
For as much as we can say about high definition re-releases of video games over the last few years, for how easy a cash-in they can be or giving out judgment in regards to their quality, there’s one fact that can’t be denied: a great game from years ago can still be a great game…
Game of Thrones‘ premiere episode started and ended in excellent manner. Like the books and fantastic TV show, no punches were pulled as plenty of gut wrenching were in store throughout it. Episode two also deserves a lot of praise for its quality, but in a different manner. The Lost Lords manages to carry the…
