Empire of Sin
Video games and mobsters go together like a dirty rat and a pair of cement shoes. Mafia, Yakuza, GTA – numerous popular franchises promise to give players a taste of the gangster life, although the majority of them tend to focus on action and melodrama. Most games about gangsters don’t...
Demon's Souls
Today From Software is rightfully recognized as one of the most influential and talented studios in the gaming industry, but before they took the world by storm with the likes of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, there was Demon’s Souls. Released at the tail end of the...
Developer Giant Squid burst onto the scene in 2016 with the beautiful, relaxing underwater adventure Abzû and fans have been rightfully awaiting something new from the talented studio since. That something new is The Pathless, which sees Giant Squid leave the chillout genre behind, in favor of intense action, killer...

Hideo Kojima’s P.T. sure has inspired a lot of imitators for a simple demo. When Konami cancelled Silent Hills, numerous indie teams stepped up to announce full games that would continue where Kojima’s teaser left off, but most of these projects either didn’t end up coming to fruition or weren’t...
Remothered: Tormented Fathers got a lot of attention from hardcore horror fans back in 2018, and not just because of its rather odd title. The game offered up plenty of atmosphere, decent stealth gameplay, and a lurid, twisting story seemingly inspired by old-school Italian giallo horror films (the game’s creator,...
The last year-or-so has been a bit of a PR rollercoaster for Genshin Impact. When the game was first unveiled in the summer of 2019, many angrily wrote it off as a gacha-fueled rip-off of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but those who actually went hands-on...
The Star Wars brand naturally lends itself to certain genres, and for years, space combat games were a core staple of the franchise. The Rebel Assault, X-Swing, and Rogue Squadron games kept wannabe pilots busy throughout the 90s and early-2000s, until, suddenly, the genre flew off to parts unknown. It’s...
NBA 2K21
This is a strange year for sports games, as next-gen consoles will be hitting shelves this holiday season, but most of the big franchises from Madden to NBA 2K drop new games in late summer/early fall. As a result, a slate of stop-gap current-gen sports games are being released. A...
Crusader Kings II is one of the most significant under-the-radar success stories of the past decade. Despite its intimidating level of complexity, the game has sold millions of copies and maintains a strong playerbase to this day thanks to long list of expansions and generous mod support. Crusader Kings II...
The fact that the Battletoads are still culturally relevant at all is kind of ridiculous. These shameless TMNT clones haven’t had a new game in 26 years, and yet, most gamers today still recognize their slimy faces. That’s mostly due to the enduring quality (and legendary difficulty) of the original...
Skully
Video games and skeletons go way back. Of course, we’ve all fought countless skeletal enemies over the years, but they’ve also taken on protagonist roles in games like Grim Fandango, MediEvil, and even the recently-released Skelattack. Well, publisher Modus Games is bringing us a yet another entry in the bony...
For a brief period in the mid-2000s the Destroy All Humans! games were suddenly everywhere, as THQ flooded gamers with yearly sequels and a barrage of edgy TV ads. But then, just as abruptly as it had begun, the invasion ended. The first Destroy all Humans game came out in...
