Review by Pierre-Yves L. Soulbringer came out about fourteen years ago. That had me thinking in a few directions at the same time. The first would be that fourteen years ago I was using CRT monitor… in technology terms it’s a lifetime ago? Games like Black Isle’s Balder’s Gate II…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I’m not the biggest fan of shooters, I’ll admit, but with their saturation in the industry I feel like they can be relied on to provide honest, predictable fun. CT Special Forces is a single player third person shooter which will seem a little familiar to…
Read MoreOpinion by Matt S. By now I hope everyone who appreciates quality games has picked themselves up a copy of Dark Souls 2. This dynamite title is one of the finest that you’ll get to play on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 because it’s tough, but ultimately rewarding. It’s…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. MonkeyPaw’s Japanese import titles have varied in terms of accessibility for non-native speakers. With that said being a retro run n’ gun shooter, Wolf Fang does a bang-up job of being fully playable. Unfortunately, the problem lies more in the game itself than the language barrier.…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. Retro City Rampage and its amusing take on open-world action games has been around on a few platforms now, but this remastered version of the 8-bit throwback experience for the Nintendo 3DS is the best version to date. Chris was a huge fan of the Vita…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Paper Sorcerer is one of those successful Kickstarter projects that has been released to the exact specifications that were promised in its Kickstarter campaign. If you didn’t back the original campaign, be sure to go and pick up this cheap little indie game. Because it’s ace.…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. If The Legend of Dragoon and the miscellaneous brawlers over the years had a love child, then this would be it. Lucifer Ring’s main character Nash looks and behaves as though he could have been the twin of those other classic heroes. This is a genre…
