Early Access Video Preview: Leap of Fate
Cyberpunk. Hack and slash. Rogue-like. You wouldn’t think these three things would go together but that is exactly what makes up Leap of Fate. Join Kyle and Addam as they take a look at this Steam Early Access title. Continue reading
Early Access Video Preview: ARK: Survival Evolved
After an intense day of trying to record this game, I finally got footage. It’s a pretty good game when it doesn’t crash or tell you that your video card drivers are out-dated. A code for Ark: Survival Evolved was provided to Pixel Related for this video preview. Continue reading
Early Access Video Preview: Into The Stars
FTL has been an on-again, off-again obsession of mine. So when a game comes up that advertises itself as FTL in a 3D world, I take notice. In this Early Access Preview, I take a look at Into the Stars. It has a lot of promise but as it is still in Early Access, you … Continue reading
Poly Bridge Preview: If You Build It…It Will Probably Break
The feeling of building the perfect bridge and watching a large vehicle pass over it without crashing is a truly great feeling in puzzle games. Few things make you feel as smart as mastering physics, tension and mass. Poly Bridge looks to offer just that. As with many of the bridge-building games on Steam, Poly … Continue reading
Nevermind Early Access Preview: Here’s The Sex Pistols
When Nevermind initially was on Kickstarter, I had high hopes for the game. Professing to be a “Biofeedback Horror Adventure Game”, the premise was that you could plug in a heart rate monitor to your PC and as you played, your heart rate would effect what happened in the world. Its initial Kickstarter failed, making … Continue reading
I Am Bread Preview: Prepare to Toast
Bossa Studios, it could be argued, started the trend of the “funny” simulator game, by creating Surgeon Simulator. Since its release, we’ve seen everything from Goat Simulator to Grass Simulator and all of them have had varying degrees of success. Some are good, most of the rest are terrible. Bossa Studios has returned, this time … Continue reading
Dungeon Defenders II Preview: “We’re Being Attacked!”
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
Massive Chalice Preview: Massive Challenge
Double Fine Productions helped usher in the age of Kickstarter funded games with Double Fine Adventure (which later became Broken Age). Coming off of that success, Double Fine dipped into the Kickstarter well once more in order to fund their next major project, Massive Chalice. Headed by the creator of the vastly underrated Iron Brigade, … Continue reading
Project Zomboid Preview: Zombies Ate Your Neighbors
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
Warmachine: Tactics Preview: Clunky Robots
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
Video Preview: Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition
This week, we decided to do something a little bit different for our preview coverage of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. We did a video stream of the preview build on our Twitch channel. Having grown up in the golden age of adventure games, it’s kind of shocking that I never actually played Gabriel … Continue reading
Interstellar Marines Preview: The Maps They Are a-Changin’
Interstellar Marines is an ambitious titles from new Denmark studio Zero Point Software. The goal of the game is to create perhaps the first “AAA Indie” game, which is described by them as “Half-Life meets System Shock, giving birth to Rainbow Six in space!” They are aiming to infuse heavy RPG and story telling aspects … Continue reading
Jagged Alliance Flashback Preview: (Wait, is that Temporally Possible?)
I’ll start (and end) by saying that after a couple hours with Jagged Alliance: Flashback, I’m genuinely excited to see the finished product. Dropping down in the jungle as a nameless, balaclava-clad soldier sent on a rescue mission is a great way to set the tone of what’s to come. With just a few clicks … Continue reading
The Forest Preview: Cannibals and Bugs
When the Early Access system was placed onto Steam, there were some notably well-polished examples of games being on the service. Things like Don’t Starve or the more recent BroForce have shown that even if a game isn’t completed, its alpha or beta can still look fantastic and be worth the asking price. The Forest, … Continue reading
