Hammer of Virtue Coming To PC Next Month

Set in an odd Japanese game-show-style land of tomorrow, Hammer of Virtue is something I didn’t know I needed in my life until fairly recently. Developed by Swedish studio, No Pest Productions, the studio’s first 3D outing has you cosplaying as a knight…

Planet of Lana (PC) Review

Stunning from the word go, Planet of Lana is something I’ve been at least mildly excited about since I saw it during the extravaganza of beige that was E3 2021. This hand-painted, beautiful platformer is Limbo/Inside if they knew what RGB stood for.…

Tencent Becomes “Majority Shareholder” In Techland

It goes without saying that we’ve all become a bit partisan when it comes to the release of games, who is behind them, and the faceless corporations that financially back them. Oh, what fun we have when someone decides that Epic harvests…

Showgunners Security Breach DLC Available Now

I enjoy murdering on an industrial scale, which is a clause I am sure will be brought up when the trial of what happens to my neighbor for parking like a blind BMW driver comes up. Then again it is possible it…

Murder By Numbers & ESO Are Free

Monday, we were in that pre-Gamescom slump or at least I assume so due to the number of press releases I’m receiving daily about things I can’t talk about, so news was quite slim. Tuesday, Xbox Live is no longer alive, replaced…

SNW “Ghosts of Illyria” – Review

Though I enjoyed “Children of the Comet,” it wasn’t my favorite. However, Akela Cooper & Bill Wolkoff’s “Ghosts of Illyria,” directed by Leslie Hope, is one of the worst episodes. Probably best known as Teri Bauer of 24 or Kira Meru of DS9, Hope’s…

Dordogne (PC) Review

As French as using a baguette as a weapon in civil unrest, Dordogne is something I’ve had my eyes on since it appeared in the 2021 Wholesome Direct. If it isn’t obvious, it is that really beautiful game that looks like it was hand-painted with…

Testament: The Order of High Human (PC) Review

When first playing Testament: The Order of High Human, I thought I was getting a PS2-era AA-studio level RPG. The accent of the blandest man in video games, Aran, is speaking through heavily accented English. The setting is (as told by the…

Train Valley 2 Is Free On Epic

Monday, MK1 has characters named like Kingdom Hearts characters, Chinese RPG Honkai: Star Rail got an update, and the melee Battle Royale game Naraka: Bladepoint is now free-to-play. Tuesday, musical bunny puzzler Puzzles for Clef got a release date and Exoprimal apparently had a showcase you didn’t know about because why would you? Wednesday, the fourth Hellboy game (you didn’t…

SNW “Children of the Comet” Review

This episode showcases the other half of the showrunning team for Season 1 of Strange New Worlds. We’ve got Henry Alonso Myers & Sarah Tarkoff’s “Children of the Comet,” directed by Maja Vrvilo. Vrvilo is probably best known for some work on…
