Manual Samuel
One moment, I’m down in the splits because I couldn’t walk forward using my legs in the proper order, and the next I’m choking to death because I accidentally inhaled and swallowed water at the same time. No, I’m not talking about that time I got sloshed at my cousin’s...
Life is a stressful experience for pretty much everyone. It’s the reason for the massive scale and longevity of the entertainment industry, athletics, and, of course, games. There’s a wonderful sort of catharsis in channeling your stresses into a virtual world and leaving them there when you finally decide to...
It’s 1983, and you’re CIA…or KGB, depending on what kind of person you are. You look out into the world and you see dark forces threatening to turn the tide of evil. Only you have the espionage and tools to stop it. That’s right, you’re playing Phantom Doctrine, a spy...
We Happy Few
We Happy Few, from Compulsion Games, pretty much embodies the idea of “potential” – its dark atmosphere, mixed with its British humor and psychedelic aesthetic, have caught the eye of many a curious gamer ever since its earliest reveals. But that potential has not quite been realized thus far, as...
Detached
Attached to Detached’s gameplay but not the game. Detached is a split experience for it’s unique gameplay without very little in an actual game to back it up. I so wanted to love this game because it made one of those childhood dream experiences come true – spacewalking.
Slam Land
It’s tough to find great, competitive party games that satisfy both gamers and their less experienced friends, but indie developer Bread Machine Games accomplishes this wonderfully with its newest release: Slam Land. Slam Land is a multiplayer game that combines the brawling nature of Super Smash Bros. with the functionality...
Hack n’ slash games occupy a weird space in between several other, more modern genres. You have fighting game style action mixed in with a more traditional narrative structure and a long history of RPG elements. Code of Princess EX occupies this same weird space a bit more brazenly, even...
Get excited to unfurl your banner one more time. The Banner Saga is back, and it’s pretty much the same as it’s always been. And you know what? That’s a very good thing. The last entry in this tactical RPG trilogy doesn’t re-invent the wheel, but it tightens up the...
Have you ever wanted to take to the skies in the great blue yonder, traveling through the air as your own boss from island to island trying to cut a little piece of fame and fortune out for yourself? Developed by Blindflug Studios, Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings is a...
Pool Panic
Pool Panic, now out on the Nintendo Switch, is hyped by developer Rekim as “the world’s least realistic pool simulator,” and after playing it I would definitely agree. While it takes its basic cue from the traditional game of billiards, this little game takes demented glee in twisting, warping and...
Earthfall
Earthfall is a co-op first-person shooter that pits you and your friends against hordes of aliens in an attempt to escape unscathed. It takes its influence from games like Left 4 Dead, however when I saw the trailer I thought it could be something a bit more like Extinction from...
Danger Zone 2
Last year, we reviewed a fun, albeit flawed, Burnout-style game called Danger Zone that was developed by Three Fields Entertainment. Three Fields Entertainment was actually founded by ex-members of Criterion Games, the studio that made those great Burnout games. So in many ways, Danger Zone was a spiritual successor to Burnout....
