Review by Nick H. Relying on an amusing style that wears its retro arcade stylings on its shirt sleeve, Molemen Must Die! never takes itself too seriously. With a focus on lightning quick action, rapid deaths and achieving the highest score possible, this game reminds me of the quarter munchers…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. FlatOut 4 is a sequel to an absolutely terrible game. Sure the first two, in a series that stretches back as far as 2004, had been decent enough, but FlatOut 3 was that bad that it should have been a franchise ending event. Thankfully that was…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Virtual Reality requires an entirely different approach to game design, and it’s going to take some time for developers to truly start to master what VR can do. Remember back on the PlayStation 1, where developers had access to the right kind of hardware to easily…
