Review: Amnesia: Memories (PC)
Amnesia: Memories Developer: Idea Factory Publisher: Idea Factory Genre: Visual Novel Release Date: 08/25/2015 Visual novels have been gaining more momentum, with more of them making their way outside of Japan.

Unboxing: The Bushwackers Box Set (Mah Tucket/Malifaux)
The Bushwackers Boxed Set Publisher: Wyrd Games Cost: $45 Release Date: 11/20/2015 Gte it Here: Wyrd Games So I’ve done two other Malifaux unboxings recently and I’ve come to one big conclusion – the models for this game look quite nice, but putting them together is annoying, stressful and at times, rage inducing.
