For as much as I like roguelike games – you know, the ones that have you traverse randomly generated levels and that punish you severely if you happen to die by sending you all the way back to the beginning – they’re extremely hard to get right. That’s even more evident when it comes to…
Like a good mystery novel, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter drops you in deep from the very beginning. You fill in the shoes of supernatural detective Paul Prospero, who’s apparently hot on the trail of a missing kid, the titular Ethan Carter. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter shares some of the same characteristics that highlighted…
The word “Miami” conjures many thoughts in the mind. Many will immediately think of Miami Vice, the 1980’s, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Hotline Miami and all that jazz. But before it all, there was just a small sleepy town in the Everglades. Then, in the early 1920s and has happened in our recent past,…

Evolve is the perfect name for Turtle Rock Studios’ newest first person shooter. It works on so many levels. For one, it’s the natural evolution from the game that put them on the spotlight, Left4Dead. As a team of four cooperatively playing humans, it’s your task to defeat a continuously growing monster who happens to…
