In all honesty, for those familiar with Idea Factory (or more accurately, Idea Factory and Compile Heart) and their games, there is not much to say in an introductory paragraph. For the uninitiated, Idea Factory is a developer popularized by a line of RPGs featuring visual novel-style storytelling. Though typically…
It’s Playground Games’ third outing with the Forza Horizon series, and their second time developing an open world racer on the Xbox One. Their second title, Forza Horizon 2,
Would you kindly do yourself a favor and pick up Bioshock: The Collection? Ok, now that the in game reference is done with, it's time to take a look at the remastering of the Bioshock series for consoles. While PC players are used to higher graphical resolution and having a full…
My history with this game, RIVE, is sort of like a love story. I first laid my eyes on the game during PAX East 2015 and once I had a chance to check out the game, well I was pretty much smitten. It was a cross between a SHMUP and...
Kerbal Space Program is a game that puts players in charge of an entire space program. You’re basically running NASA, and if you’re anything like me, running it poorly. I’ve killed tons of Kerbins through botched launches, and while that’s pretty funny, it’s not exactly that fun. In fact, I…

Despite owning a physical copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and being quite aware of its cult classic status, I’ve yet to actually play it. You can boo, you may hiss - but I think it puts this particular reviewer at an advantage. The shackles are off; the rose-tinted glasses...
A Post-Apocalyptic Robot With Thin Layers There is no shortage of puzzle-platformers on the downloadable scene, each one with their own retro hook, so standing out from the rest of the scenery can be a daunting task. With one simple push of a button, however, the mechanized titular protagonist of Poncho, just…
While I summarized my feelings in the final thoughts of this article, I still have to mention how impressed I am with this game. SNK was a company in crisis after the King of Fighters XIII, and once KOF XIV was announced and the rebranding of the company made public,...
"Into the Drink, You Go!" If there's one type of game that you don't seem much of, it's arcade style games. Sure, the indie's are trying to bring them back, we simply haven't seen any of them from established studios. So I when noticed that Vector Unit had dropped Riptide…
