Point-and-click adventure games are, in my humble opinion, the bread-and-butter of video games. After all, where would we be without such gems as Monkey Island, Myst, and Grim Fandango? Daedalic Entertainment’s The Whispered World was originally released for PC in 2009 or 2010, depending on your location. It is a…
Read MoreGame of Thrones: Episode Six – The Ice Dragon is an exciting, action-packed finish for a series of episodes that had its ups and downs through the first five instalments. As is often the case, the final chapter proves to be the best for a Telltale Games title, but it…
Read MoreI am just going to put everything on the line right out of the gate: Layers of Fear is not easy to play. Actually, let me correct that: it isn’t easy to play if you’re a giant wimp, much like myself. I’ve played my fair share of games in preview,…
Read MoreFrom the beginning, the idea of a Borderlands game as a narrative-heavy affair from Telltale Games struck me as a potentially weird mix. So here’s the thing: it worked. It worked so well in fact, that now we have the last episode accounted for, I can say that this was…
Read MoreThese credits read like a who’s-who of the video game and sound industries: character design by Doug TenNapel (creator of Earthworm Jim), developed by Ed Schofield and Mike Dietz (the creators of The Neverhood), original score created and recorded by Terry Scott Taylor, and the voice talents of Jon Heder…

Read MoreTales From The Borderlands: Episode 4: Escape Plan Bravo packs a great deal of humour into a single episode, but also manages several touching moments with characters while keeping the plot rolling. The best episode in what is shaping up to be the most balanced Telltale Games effort yet delivers…
Read MoreAs I commented in my hands-on preview of Until Dawn a couple of weeks ago, it genuinely surprises me that game developers so rarely tackle the teen slasher horror genre as a subject. We all know the industry’s love of zombies, but as fun as that horror can be, there’s…
Read MoreDevolver Digital’s games never cease to amaze me. From the perfectly casual (and yet, insanely difficult and hardcore) Luftrausers to the controversial Hotline Miami games to this year’s majestic The Talos Principle, I’ve been in constant awe of the publisher’s seemingly uncanny talent to pick and release only the best…
Read MoreWhen I was a child, I remember watching a film about the apocalypse. Not in the sense of literature like The Road, or games like The Last Of Us, though. This apocalypse had simply emptied the world of people, so that all that was left was one family, journeying through…
