Lost Gaming Arts: Licensed Soundtracks

A few days ago, I was sitting in my office playing something with a minimalist soundtrack. Now for something that is aimed to be relaxing by nature, that simple and calming soundtrack fading into the background does, indeed, work. However, over the…

Former BioWare Boss Launches New Studio

I think it is fair to say that BioWare, over the last few years, has had a hard time of it. Between Mass Effect: Andromeda‘s troubled release and their prolonged suffering with Anthem purposefully trying to chase Destiny’s tail, the studio has seen a few…

Floppy Knights (PC) – Beta Preview

Ok, I have two notes from the Wholesome Direct and the games shown. Pupperazzi‘s release stated as “woof bark bark” is my everything, and the system requirements for Floppy Knights stating: “Floppy Knights does not require floppy disks to be played,” is indie perfection itself. Yes, I…

Sonic Mania & Horizon Chase Turbo Are Free On Epic

Monday, David wrote about the latest WoW patch. Tuesday, Taylor spoke of Doug Bowser’s comments on the new Switch rumors, and I finally got to writing the news of (Portal designer) Kim Swift’s latest move to Microsoft. Wednesday, this year’s best Sonic game was released, and it is Minecraft, while Alexx spoke about…

Doctor Who “The God Complex” – Review

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it here again. I’m not a fan of the horror or horror-esque episodes of Doctor Who, even though I do enjoy one show by Toby Whithouse. I think the darker and supernatural elements worked better into…

Microsoft Returns of Cyberpunk 2077 To End Soon

It has been just over seven months since the mess that was the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Some say it works moderately fine, and others have had a less than pleasant experience. The latter type of people have not only seen minor…
