There’s this constant complaint heard all too often by the PC gaming crowd: why don’t more PC games come to consoles? The reality is some combination between controls, marketability, and code development, but I always like to say, “it’s just more of a PC game.” That wasn’t always the case though, as we’ve seen in the
Coffin Dodgers Review
The concept of Coffin Dodgers was so simple that you want to play it on general principle. With a name like “Coffin Dodgers” – a slang term for an elderly person overstaying their welcome on Earth – the dark comedy seems inherent to the game’s identity. I was thinking that even in a simple form this running gag
The Magic Circle: Gold Edition Review
The Magic Circle is a difficult game to discuss because nearly everything in it can be a spoiler. Last summer’s indie darling on PC now comes to the Playstation 4 in the new “Gold Edition” that seems to contain the same content, but includes the many updates that made it into a polished experience. If you somehow have
Back in 1995 Review
If you grew up in the mid-late 90s as a gamer, you have a certain affinity to the awkward early polygonal styles of games that graced consoles like the Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation, and Nintendo 64. Given the fact that most people born around the time to start gaming on these consoles are nearing their
The Collider 2 Review
Video games have always been one step removed from most other consumed media because they are interactive. Movie watchers and book readers have a hard time understanding why one can be “too tired to game” or just not be ready for an active experience such as gaming rather than a passive experience. Couple that with
Deathsmiles (PC) Review
Deathsmiles is the latest in a series of fantastic shoot-em-ups (“shmups” for short) that have trickled out onto PC. These additions are gems, especially for fans of the genre, because they have typically been rare, expensive, and in some cases limited to the Japanese market. Making the move to PC allows the beef and performance to
Superhot Review
Superhot is the first person shooter power fantasy brought to life. Whether it’s scripted events, stupid AI, or really forgiving auto aim you never actually perform the badass moves seen in action films yourself. This is accomplished in Superhot by nearly freezing time when you look or aim, returning time to normal speed whenever you move. The
Layers of Fear Review
I’ve always had a special draw to the concept of the haunted house. Being a middle-aged male, I acknowledge that a majority of what goes on is often not about scaring me, which is absolutely the case if I happen to have a female teenager with me. I often enjoy taking my much younger sister
Dying Light: The Following Review
For those that have not touched Dying Light before, suffice to say it’s a great open-world game that finally makes the zombie apocalypse feel realistic. Melee is the popular form of combat, but more important than knowing how to fight is knowing when to run. You’ll mix both to stay alive against the difficult special zombies and
Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours Review
When you think of space shooters, the Darius series is probably not the first one you would think of, so it came as a wonderful surprise to to see this title come from out of nowhere and single handedly brought about what could be the renaissance of the space shooter series. Dariusburst Chronicles Saviours (DBCS) is
