Review by Matt S. As a big fan of the old gamebooks that I obsessively consumed through my childhood, I was so impressed with what Tin Man Games did with The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. Taking the basic gamebook experience and turning it into a blend of board game and…

News by Lindsay M. Give me a game that involves exploring a creepy old house, and I’m instantly personally invested due to my love of old architecture (both my parents studied architecture so I come by it honestly). Since I love games in this setting, you can bet I’ve played…

There are still a handful of quirky things that occur on the court, and 2K’s truly horrible approach…

Review by Brad L. When I was in high school, much of my time was spent on the PC my parents bought me for Christmas. Their intentions were good, I would need a computer in order to do research and do assignments for high school. Little did they know, most…

News by Matt C.Every week, there are approximately 356373454787 announcements for Switch ports of previously-released games.
