Xenoshyft Review
Insects are creepy. Multiple limbs, weirdly segmented body, and grotesque mouthparts, are all well and good for doing their part in their respective biospheres, but add one to a fictional…

Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night Review

Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf Review
It’s 11:00 PM. I’ll play for 20 minutes and then head to bed, I tell myself. Three hours later, I’ve incinerated dozens of bloodthirsty, goblinoid Giaks in streams of holy…
Religion Simulator Review
I love playing with religion in games. Be it pouring hordes of leprous cultists and bloodthirsty demons onto a corrupt humanity in Chaos in the Old World, smacking your divine…
Titans Review
Do you know what isn’t it fun? Slogging through days of gameplay before spotting even a glimmer of engaging content. It’s why I abandon most MMO’s within a week: I…
