The Escapists Is Free On Epic, Again

Monday, I discussed a robot working with Disney to make a game about robots in space having a war, and the Primetime Emmys happened. Tuesday, Kotick was subpoenaed and Acti-Blizz is under a federal investigation, while I discussed my excitement for Hometopia. Wednesday, an indie…

Doctor Who “Hide” – Review

An episode with crap jumpers, a big spooky house, tech of the 70s, and “I am speaking to the lost soul…” Yep, it is one of those horror-ish episodes with supernatural elements, and it just happens to have one of my least…

Sheltered 2 (PC) – Review

It was just two weeks ago (I think) that Sheltered was part of Epic’s weekly free game giveaway on the Epic Games Store. I think it was a little more than obvious that I wasn’t enthralled by it as a game, being focused around survival…

Overwatch 2 Exec Leaves Blizzard

Speed Brawl & Tharsis Are Free On Epic

This was a week and a half: Monday, David had an article on the latest significant Steam updates, and Cameron detailed the Star Wars: KOTOR Remake announcement. Tuesday, Epic and Apple won their cases against each other, so it was basically a draw. Wednesday, Dying Light…

Doctor Who “Cold War” – Review

“Steam in the subway, earth is a afire.” If no one else is going to sing Duran Duran with David Warner in Russian while trapped at the bottom of the ocean with one of Elon Musk’s cousins, I will! This is genuinely…

Darkest Dungeon 2 Gets Early Access Release

One thing I wish I could just sit down and enjoy a little more is Red Hook Studios’ gothic-horror turn-based RPG, Darkest Dungeon. Much like Hades and countless other indie darlings I could name, Darkest Dungeon is something many people rave on about, but…
