Review by Brad L. All of the cool kids these days are making some form of pixelated game intended as a throwback to the glory days of the 80’s. More often than not, the difficulty spike of the 80’s rears its ugly head as well. 8Days is no exception, and…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Though it aired recently, Magical Girl Raising Project seems poised and to be fade into the background and dismissed in most corners as derivative.

Read MoreReview by Nick H. The original Watch Dogs had all sorts of potential, but it too often seemed to miss the mark both in style and substance. It was a game that I enjoyed in the moment but it’s also one that I’ve never come back to; the longevity just…
