Galactic Civilization III Free On Epic

Monday, I spoke of a bald man choking people while wearing a French maid’s outfit (not a sexy thing), and I later spoke of the Scott Pilgrim game selling a lot of physical editions (a very sexy thing). Tuesday, I spoke about Sony’s San Diego studio working…

Cloud Climber (PC) Review

Cloud Climber is a short yet enjoyable venture by Two Star Games, a one-person outfit perhaps known for previous atmospheric-horror projects My Beautiful Paper Smile and My Friend is a Raven. Cloud Climber takes some notes from the other games’ graphical style. It…

Doctor Who “Planet Of The Dead” – Review

Ahhh, “Planet of the Dead.” This is one of my all-time favorite episodes of Doctor Who. Usually, I’d do a bit of a ramble here about something stupid like books, audio dramas, or how the T.A.R.D.I.S was a bit boring and non-functional…

Balan Wonderworld Demo Coming Next Week

I’ll admit, when I saw the announcement of Balan Wonderworld last year, I was very excited. The colorful, bright, 3D platformer with a theatrical aesthetic was just super exciting to me. What’s even more exciting, is ahead of its March 26th release…

All Walls Must Fall Out Now On The Switch

Quite some time ago, I played a game called All Walls Must Fall thanks to German developer Inbetweengames providing a key prior to its release. I really enjoyed it. Set in a timeline where the Cold War never ended, you are in the…

Watch Dogs: A Shaky Series On Fumes

If any series has a negative connotation attached to it, it’s likely Watch Dogs. The first thought in most gamers’ heads is that the first game deviated ridiculously from its E3 2012 outing to its actual release in 2014. It’s unfortunately a night-and-day…

On Civilization VI’s Babylon DLC Pack

Folks, I’m going to start this article off by readily admitting that I seem to have fallen severely behind schedule. Keiran informed me yesterday morning that Firaxis announced that they are finalizing preparations to release the penultimate piece of downloadable content within…

Wonka Is Needless & The Speculated Casting Is Dull

I have spent the morning angrily playing C followed by D# with that followed by A#, something I thought previously impossible. It turns out you can play “Pure Imagination” with nothing but anger. Especially when you know for a fact the newly announced…

What’s Lurking in Pokemon 25’s Future?

It’s the 25th anniversary of Pokemon and we’re relatively unaware of the plans for the year. Of course, there’s going to be plenty of merch and collectibles sold on the mainline Pokemon Center store. Still, the things that started it all (the actual games)…

Channel Zero S2 Ep3 Review: “Beware the Cannibals”

Warning: This article contains slight spoilers for Channel Zero. “Beware the Cannibals,” the mid-season episode for “No-End House,” keeps Margot at its center. Understandably, as she seems to be the primary audience stand-in/protagonist and picks up where her wariness-inducing tete-a-tete with her…
