If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to play a game that took place inside the head of a Norwegian death metal band, then look no further than Slain: Back from Hell. I’m fairly sure no game could come closer; it’s bloody, it’s full of demons and it’s...
Stylish Stylus Swordplay on the Wii U Instead of playing it safe by returning to Mexican Metroidvania with everyone's favorite video game luchador, DrinkBox Studios' follow-up to their acclaimed Guacamelee! is a less festive, more contemplative action-adventure relying on sharp reflexes and a sharper sword. Severed has players hacking and slashing their way…
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…

It must be nearing the magical time in September when the regular NFL season kicks off and the country (and some people outside of the USA) begin to don team jerseys and yell at the TV screen. This is Football season, which I guess you could say begins in August...
Madden NFL 17 is the perfect blend of technical yet accessible game play that a game like this needs. It’s technical enough to keep the die hard players satisfied, yet keeps those same mechanics simple for newer or not so advanced players coming back for more. While I’d still keep...
We reviewed the fastest and most futurist racing game on the PC - Redout. Is it fast? Hell yes. But is it good? Read on to find out.
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…
