Review by Nick H. Many of Enjoy Gaming’s offerings feel like they are slanted toward a younger audience, and Orion’s Odyssey falls into that bucket as well. That is not to say it is a bad game at all, but it may not appeal to an older audience as it…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Walking Dead’s first season took a lot of people by surprise as the developers put their focus on an interesting narrative and avoided the focus on action that plague (hah!) most games that are themed around zombies. That is not to say this is just…
