2015 may go down in history as being the year of the remakes. With classic greats being remastered, given facelifts and having old injuries fixed, if you’ve missed some game from the days of old now is a great time to pick up something on the cheap. There are a host of services all competing … Continue reading
Though my generation grew up with the Atari, Nintendo and PC as a gaming platform, and we’ve considered ourselves gamers all our lives, the sad fact remains that there was a window in there where we all enjoyed games but weren’t old enough to have jobs that supported that habit. What that meant was we … Continue reading
Often times we get emails containing press releases for random games no one has ever heard of. The majority of the sales pitches, game titles, trailers or gimmicks seem so poorly executed that far more often than not we pass on the opportunity to do a review. Sometimes it’s just abundantly clear that a game … Continue reading
For those unfamiliar with the subject material, please allow me to explain the nuances and subtleties of my titular fart joke: Warhammer Quest, being the port of an iOS ported board game, is amusing, slightly stinky and stays true to the original source material in that whenever you roll a zero in your Winds of … Continue reading
Let’s face it: Netflix has a Queue capacity of 500 titles for a reason. We browse, we see something interesting, we add it, then it’s promptly forgotten, until eventually the wealth of titles sitting there that we know we’re supposed to be interested in is just too overwhelming. If only there were someone willing to watch all … Continue reading
It’s been quite awhile since I played the original Dungeon Defenders which, honestly, left a sour taste in my mouth. Though I’m a fan of the tower defense genre, I can’t say that my enjoyment extends to those titles where I’m actively participating in shooting at creeps or bad guys. Games like Sanctum and Orcs … Continue reading
Recently there was an outbreak in gaming. No, gamers have not been getting Ebola (I don’t even know why you’d joke about that; honestly it’s too soon and in very poor taste). But gamers have recently been inundated with survival horror games. It’s difficult to trace the epidemic back to its source, but if I … Continue reading
There are a few things to look for in an RTS, some essential elements that compose the most popular, successful and enjoyable ones. A good RTS must be balanced enough to reward aggressive play as well as a more methodical approach. A good RTS has elements of base building and a relatively easy resource collection … Continue reading
I admit, I have quite the little collection of painted miniatures in my closet. And while mine are mostly lizardmen from the Warhammer universe, I was no less excited to see another miniatures game make the leap into virtual reality. Though Privateer Press’ tabletop Warmachine game has no ties to GamesWorkshop’s efforts, unfortunately for all … Continue reading
Back when I was a child, my cousins and I would gather in my grandma’s living room where two televisions had progressive generations of videogame systems hooked up to them. And while the “kids” played easier games on the bigger screen (naturally) the adults would gravitate towards the smaller, where more challenging puzzle games were, … Continue reading
What if you took an MMORPG and stripped out all that bothersome walking, streamlining the experience by bringing all the monsters to the player? With a basic party of three, an overhead map and combat abilities with cooldowns, Heroes & Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar proves that this idea has merit, even if the game falls short … Continue reading
Oops. I accidentally finished Northmark: Hour of the Wolf in one sitting. Well, this is embarrassing. In my defense though, a four hour game wasn’t what I was expecting, given the depth of the combat system and how engaging it was. In my quest to collect as many cards, find as many secrets and conquer … Continue reading
Normally when a game is free to play, there’s a reason. Sometimes that’s owed to a strange or unique premise and sometimes, as is the case with Might & Magic Duel of Champions: Forgotten Wars, that’s owed to being a newcomer in a genre dominated by one clear victor. In this case, Forgotten Wars is … Continue reading
Ever wanted to sneak out a castle window after being caught with the baron’s daughter, forced to flee town while buried beneath a pile of musty hay, the scent of a trail-weary mule choking out what little breathable air there is as you’re painfully bounced over every pothole in the back of an old wooden … Continue reading
Did I miss something? Back when Anomaly: Warzone Earth came out it was the apple of most critics’ eyes. Then Anomaly 2 released as essentially a dilution of a successful formula with the inability to trump the original (as pointed out in our previous review). Now, Anomaly Defenders works harder than any other game to… … Continue reading
