Canadian developer Red Barrels is back with the sequel to their 2013 hit Outlast, with Outlast 2. The original spawned an expansion, Whistleblower, and countless YouTube videos of players being scared senseless. I must admit, I did not play Outlast. So here is my non-comparative review after a couple days playing, what the gaming industry was anticipating, as the horror game of year. Outlast 2 is best described as a dark, and deeply disturbing, jump-scare survival game. Players must either…  Read More

Has there ever been a more addictive game than Tetris? I mean the game has become as ingrained in the pop culture lexicon as much as Pac Man, and it's a game that most people have played at least once in their lives, in some version or another. Puyo Puyo is another addictive game that has stolen the time of gamers everywhere. So, what happens when SEGA takes both games and fuses them together as Puyo Puyo Tetris, putting both…  Read More

I make it no secret that I absolutely loved the original Toukiden: Age of Demons on the PS Vita. It took the "Monster Hunter" game mechanic and evolved it in some very new and interesting ways, hunting demons, or Oni, instead of monsters. It worked well on the powerful Vita, and now the long-awaited sequel, Toukiden 2, is here for the PS Vita and the PS4. With even more features and gameplay mechanics, does the sequel elevate the budding franchise to new…  Read More

Last July, Ken Griffey, Jr. took his rightful place among the hallowed halls of Cooperstown, and this year he is the cover star of Sony San Diego's MLB: The Show 17 (in North America, at least. Aaron Sanchez is the cover star for Canada and Wei-Yin Chen graces the Taiwan cover). But is the game worthy enough of a cover star who gained the most Hall of Fame votes ever, after a stellar career that spanned four decades? The short…  Read More

   April 24, 2017
The Deer God is a 2015 mobile game that was later brought to consoles and PC. Now on PlayStation 4, it seems this little Kickstarter indie game is officially everywhere. With gorgeous pixel-art style graphics and one of the most interesting game ideas I have ever encountered, players take the role of a hunter who has recently died and been reincarnated by the “Deer God” as, of course, a deer. Follow the 2D side-scrolling path, starting as a fawn and…  Read More

North American multiplexes were ghost towns this weekend as ticket buyers gave the cold shoulder to five new releases and grew tired of holdovers past their prime. Only The Fate of the Furious managed to make any sort of financial impact. Next week should be even quieter before Guardians of…  Read More

Aaero is a new indie game from the two-person developer Mad Fellows, out of the U.K. Described simply as “The Rhythm-Rail-Shooter” on their Kickstarter page, Aaero is so much more, and one of the best indie games I have ever played. For experienced gamers, I describe it as if Space Harrier and Guitar Hero had an EDM (Electronic Dance Music) baby. Players control a spaceship from a third person perspective. As the ship moves forward, lines, or rails, appear and…  Read More

Full Throttle Remastered is the latest LucasArts point and click adventure game to get the HD treatment from developer Double Fine Productions. The original, released in 1995, was designer Tim Schafer’s first solo project. It seems fitting that the man who created one of the best adventure games of the 1990’s PC era is now bringing it back with a shiny new polish. Set in 2040, players follow the story of Ben, the tough as nails leader of the Polecats…  Read More
