Cities XXL
Figuratively or literally, a blank canvas is the source of all creation. City builders are the gaming world’s blank canvas – here’s some land, build your dream. A seaside resort, a towering metropolis, an industrial powerhouse, a flexible simulation allows for creation of all these, and countless more. Cities XXL...
ScreamRide
Your pulse is racing, you are tightly strapped into your seat, sweat starts to roll down your forehead, and you question your sanity for being where you are as you start your climb… then after the ever-so-slightest of pauses, you are suddenly falling at great rates of speed and hit...
To start the game off, you receive a call from Hope. She’s in desperate need of help. She explains that ‘they want to erase her’, but before anything else can be said she is interrupted by a couple of guards who walk in. Here, we get a bit more insight...
Long before its release, The Order: 1886 fell victim to the court of public opinion. Evidence submitted to the court was based on internet scraps, screenshots, leaked videos and 10 minute demos but it was enough for the court to play judge, jury and in some cases executioner to Ready...

#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...
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...
