News by Matt S. 2K games and Firaxis have announced a new game – Sid Meier’s Starships. It’s apparently a turn-based adventure strategy game set in the same universe as Civilization: Beyond Earth, and is coming to PC, Mac, and iPad. In the game, you will apparently command a fleet…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Platformers that drown the player in obtusely hidden collectibles often don’t sit well with me, even if the game itself is a terrific example of the genre. Developers incorporate ensembles of near-useless baubles to inject games with additional hours of life, but the result is more…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. It’s surprising to see a little indie game take on the big challenge of addressing the damsel in distress trope that has been a large point of discussion in video game culture lately. But when it’s done this well it’s hardly a complaint that Dokuro’s developers…
Read MorePreview by Shaan J. Even before I picked up an Xbox One for myself, I’d seen trailers for Project Totem, a twin platformer of sorts from Danish studio Press Play, which also developed the Xbox exclusive title Max: The Curse of Brotherhood that released last year.

Read MoreReview by Nick H. I admit I had my concerns when I saw that LittleBigPlanet 3 was being developed by a different team, Sumo Digital. There was a charm to the prior games that belied its surprisingly deep platforming mechanics and design options. I am happy to say that LittleBigPlanet…
Read MorePreview by Pierre-Yves L. Second chances are not something that come around everyday. Unfortunately earlier this year, Neverland had to close its doors even after the release of the successful Rune Factory 4. Within the same year, Two Tribes almost suffered the same fate. Thankfully Two Tribes was one of…
Read MoreInterview by Jedediah H. The future is overloaded with possibilities. Because we tend to overestimate ourselves, when we lay belly-down on our sofas after a morning of spontaneous, mountainous trail climbing and boulder tossing, and visualise the landscape of our coming years, our predictions can be pretty, maybe even unrealistically,…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. CounterSpy places itself within the Cold War. Two sides, the Imperialist States and the Socialist Republic are competing in the Space Race. But it’s not the race you’re most likely thinking of. It’s a race to blow up the moon. C.O.U.N.T.E.R. has been tasked with finding…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. CounterSpy is a different breed of game. Sure, there are plenty of other titles that focus on the Cold War, but most other games instead focus on over the top action (which isn’t really synonymous with the Cold War to begin with), or depict the conflict…
Read MoreReview by Chris I. Heralding itself as a “rogue-lite,” Rogue Legacy comes clanking its way onto the PlayStation Vita, bringing its unique genealogy-based, retro platforming action to the portable console for great hardcore gaming on the go. It’s a game with seemingly endless personality and replay value, so be sure…
