AI: The Somnium Files is a detective adventure that deals extensively with the unknown. The newest title in the series, No Sleep for Kaname Date, is the third game created, but it takes place between the other two titles in the series. Game Name: No Sleep For Kaname Date: From…
I've been a gamer for nearly my entire life, but PC gaming mostly passed me by until recent years. That said, back in the late '90s and early 2000s, I fell hard for real-time strategy games. One in particular stood out to me: Stronghold Crusader by Firefly Studios. Its blend…
