Adaptations and interpretations of H.P. Lovecraft’s works are plentiful and everywhere. In games, we have the likes of Call of Cthulhu or Alone in the Dark, which drew incredibly heavily on the Lovecraft Mythos. Whilst masterpieces such as SOMA, which don’t directly adapt the mythology are based heavily on it,...
The octopus is one of the most fascinating creatures on our planet. Masters of camouflage, these invertebrates can hide from even the most blood-thirsty of predators. Their intelligence is undeniable, being able to escape captivity in frequently surprising ways. So how would a cephalopod manage in an environment other than...
I guess we are currently living in bittersweet days for fans of the Legacy of Kain games. After two decades without any kind of new entry or re-release, the remasters of the Soul Reaver games arrived like a torpedo of joy, bringing two of the most impressive gothic action games...

I would like to start off my review for Super Meat Boy 3D by apologizing to each of the developers’ mothers. Ladies, I know you have nothing to do with this game’s development, but boy, did I curse you whilst playing it. My bad. Blame your children’s creation. What was...
