News by Lindsay M. Toronto-based indie developer DrinkBox Studios has announced its next game, Severed.

Review by Pierre-Yves L. To quote a very interesting and wholly unserious movie that you should probably watch, even if you don’t enjoy it, “if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball”. In a lot of cases this statement holds true for our heroes in one of…

Video by Sam M. Since kicking off with the new, episodic, Hitman, there’s one particular scene that I simply can’t get out of my mind: the fashion show. It has all the hallmarks of a classic setting for something dramatic; it’s visually striking, it mixes high society and class. It’s…
