The newest entry of the Total War series plunges you head first into the Fall of Rome. Well, maybe a few years before, but the Fall is definitely in the midst of happening. Aptly titled, the Huns are knocking on Rome’s doorstep and the mighty Attila is looking to subjugate...
Evolve
Games are all about loops – the core actions that the player takes during the game. By definition, these loops repeat as the game progresses. The key to making an enjoyable game lies in making these loops as fun as possible. While running and jumping in a Mario game is...
Apotheon
I was happy to hear that Apotheon would be one of the free games this month for PS+ subscribers. Winning me over with the use of Greek mythology and an interesting art style, I was eager to check it out and see if it lived up to the trailer. While...
According to Miriam Webster Online, the word Fandango has two meanings. The first, and more formal definition is that it: “is a lively Spanish or Spanish-American dance done in triple time that is usually performed by a man and a woman to the accompaniment of guitars and castanets.” The second,...
Zombeer
Zombeer didn’t do so well on the PS3. It received terrible reviews, and rightfully so. Unfortunately, despite some new dialogue it is no better on PC and I have to advise people to stay away. A mixture of unsatisfying shooting, very low-brow humour, and a lack of anything truly meaningful...
#IDARB
Some of you may have had the same reaction I had when I first found out about #IDARB and that is “What the frak is #IDARB?” With some research I discovered it stands for “It Draws a Red Box” and from my understanding the creators of the game crowd sourced...
Blackguards 2
I was an early supporter of the first Blackguards. While it didn’t turn out to be quite what I wanted, the end result was still a lot of fun and had a neat story with some memorable characters. As a huge tactics fan, the gameplay was interesting but needed some...
Kalimba
Developed by Press Play and best known for their hit Max: The Curse of The Brotherhood, Kalimba quietly made an appearance on the Xbox One store on December 17th without much fanfare. Previously known as Project Totem, this puzzle platformer game offers players a fresh new take on the traditional...
So a bit of a trend that’s been on the rise lately is successful mobile games coming to PC or console. Warhammer Quest is following suit, and comes out on PC, Mac, and Linux soon. I had the opportunity to get my hands on it early and check it out,...
Just as 2013 was the year of the bow (Tomb Raider, Crysis, etc.) and 2014 was the year of the broken-ass game (Unity, Master Chief Collection), 2015 is going to be the year we venture into space. With giants like Star Citizen and No Man’s Sky coming at some point...
Valkryria Chronicles!!! Wait…..Valkyria Chronicles??? Really? In the scale of things likely to happen, a PC port of Valkyria Chronicles coming out in 2014 has to be directly under World of Warcraft becoming a first-person shooter. Don’t get me wrong, the original 2008 version for PS3 was beloved by many, but...
With media coverage extensive as it is these days, it is increasingly rare when a video game comes out where I am able to approach it with absolutely no preconceived impressions. Such is the case for MXGP. The last two wheel racer I’d played was probably something in the MX...
