Review by Matt S. Okay, let’s start this review by talking about these so-called “walking simulators.” Games that are largely devoid of action, where players explore worlds and narratives by simply walking from place to place and, generally speaking, don’t kill stuff. There’s more and more of them being developed,…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Telltale Games have a habit of creating penultimate episodes to their adventure games that leave me underwhelmed, but put me in a position where I’m excited for the final chapter. This was how I felt about the second-to-last episode during season one of The Walking Dead,…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Everyone heard of at least one or two stories involving people who have partied a bit too hard. Not being able to remember that night, and that promise to never drink again, it’s a veritable rite of passage. AR-K (pronounced “arc”) is a take on that…

Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. The point and click adventure game The Whispered World was released back in 2009 by Deadelic Entertainment. It is back again as a Special Edition with an enhanced graphics engine as well as developer commentary and an overhauled tutorial system to better help introduce players to…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. As the fourth chapter in Telltale’s five episode series based on monsters and mythology, In Sheep’s Clothing has the unenviable task of trying to tie up a lot of loose ends while propelling the story forward to its conclusion. I came away from this episode somewhat…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Murdered: Soul Suspect frustrates me; it’s a game that shows a world of potential, but ultimately fails to execute on its many promises. In so many ways this game is the textbook case study of the issues with big budget game development. But first, the very…
