  • Review: Her Story (PC)

    Her Story Genre: Detective/Visual Novel Developer: Sam Barlow Publisher: Sam Barlow Release Date: 6/24/2015 Full motion video has always had kind of a weird relationship with video gaming; while its original implementation (through games like Night Trap and Sewer Shark) wasn’t great, people have been trying for years to figure out a way to really…

  • Review: This Starry Midnight We Make (PC)

    This Starry Midnight We Make Publisher: Carpe Fulgur LLC Developer: Cavyhouse Genre: Sim Release Date: 06/01/2015 In many ways, calling This Starry Midnight We Make (Starry for short) a video game does it a disservice. Sure, it has a user interface, graphics, a story, sound design, etc. However, the gameplay elements are more along the…

  • Review: Catlateral Damage (PC)

    Catlateral Damage Publisher: Chris Chung Developer: Chris Chung Genre: Simulation Release Date: 05/27/2015 When Catlateral Damage showed up in the staff forums, I immediately loaded the trailer to see what it was about before taking the plunge.

    The Fruit of Grisaia Genre: Visual Novel Developer: Front Wing Publisher: Sekai Project Release Date: 5/29/15 While more and more visual novels have been finding their way to the US as of late, thanks to increased Western interest and some really quality releases in the genre to spark that interest, it’s worth remembering that the…

  • Review: Toren (PC)

    Ascend the tower with the Moonchild and take on the dragon

  • Review: Epanalepsis (PC)

    An unfinished and unpolished game that places artistic expression above all else.

  • Review: Chroma Squad (PC)

    A great game for fans, but lacking the depth for serious players.

  • Review: Project Cars (PC)

    I feel the need, the need for a new racing franchise….

    Great atmosphere saves the game from being a total bore.

    Dreamfall Chapters – Book Two: Rebel Developer: Red Thread Games Publisher: Red Thread Games Genre: Adventure Release Date: 03/12/2015 Dreamfall Chapters – Book 1: Reborn was a long awaited return to Stark and Arcadia.

  • Review: There Came an Echo (PC)

    There Came an Echo Developer: Iridium Studios Publisher: Iridium Studios Genre: RTS Release Date: 02/24/2015 There Came an Echo started off as a Kickstarter project. The prospect of voice commands seemed a bit spurious at first, though the fact Wil Wheaton was on board from the start was a point of interest (to say the…

    Lords of Xulima scratches that old school isometric itch.

  • Review: Total War: Atilla (PC)

    Total War: Atilla Developer: Creative Assembly Publisher: Sega Genre: Strategy Released: 02/17/15 Total War: Atilla is the third game in the Total War series that puts the focus on the Roman Empire. The first was an excellent game, while the second needed more time in the oven. This time, we join history not when Rome…

  • Review: Dying Light (PC)

    Dying Light Genre: Survival FPS Developer: Techland Publisher: WB Games Release Date: 01/27/15 I distinctly remember the first time I turned off Dying Light in disgust. It was at the end of a particularly long sequence of tropes; the character had just finished dealing with a particularly traumatic sequence, only to be thrown head-first into…

    Long live the king… ‘s wagon.
