Just Cause 2 was a pretty amazing game. While games like Grand Theft Auto have given players a world to experience, Just Cause 2 gave players the tools to experience that world in a new, more ridiculous way than ever before. But you know what would have made the game…
Read MoreBlacklight: Retribution is a militaristic first-person shooter. When it comes to this game genre, there are two types of video game players; those that have barely played any militaristic first-person shooters and those that have played so many that they are most likely becoming bored with these titles. I fall…
Read MoreI only played Orcs Must Die! briefly at a friend’s house before, and while I enjoyed the experience, I never picked that title up and played it extensively. The idea was interesting enough – take the tower defense genre and add some third-person combat to the proceedings. The same basic formula is…
Read MoreWell, here is one thing I thought I would never see; on the first day of Quakecon 2012, it was announced that the 1995 cousin of Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of The Triad, is getting a sequel/remake scheduled to hit Steam later this year. I’ll admit that this one came out…

What frustrates me is that Q.U.B.E. wants to be more than what it actually is; a fun,…
Read MoreJust yesterday Swedish indie developer Nifflas, in conjunction with Ripstone, announced his next project. That project is Knytt Underground, the followup to the popular Knytt and Knytt Stories games.

Read MoreA semi-sequel to Demiurge Studios’ Shoot Many Robots is all about pitting player vs player in a game of (porcelain) thrones. Arena Kings (which has just entered Beta) is a full standalone title and not simply a multiplayer expansion to SMR. It’ll also carry over much of the kooky feel…
