Review by Matt C. Maybe it’s just because I’ve been spoilt by this industry’s current fascination with ‘80s-inspired retrofuturistic settings, but with a name like “Neon Chrome”, I was expecting something far more garish than what this top-down, twin-stick shooter delivered.

Read MoreReview by Dylan C. There’s a purity to shmups that really speaks to me. I’m not sure if it’s the easy to pick-up-and-play, but tough to master strategy and challenge behind them.

Read MoreReview by Jim S. Bowling is a fun game to play in both real life and in video game from, so I thought this would be a fun game to give a shot. It’s not so bad, though there are better examples of the genre out there, and nothing about…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. In Plague Inc: Evolved, you can name a disease, and your task is to have that disease wipe out the entire human population. Naturally, I named my disease Donald Trump, and at first that was hilarious… until it became chilling. Trump started out infecting just a…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. God bless Square Enix. After its entire fan base (which may or may not be an exaggeration, but there are a lot of us) begged for years for a HD remaster of Final Fantasy XII, the publisher finally listened. We’re getting a HD remaster of Final…
