News by Lindsay M. I am very upfront about my love of Reigns, the tinder-meets-card game RPG where you swipe your way to power — or to death, over and over. Actually, that second part is a given. The title’s sequel, Reigns: Her Majesty, was released last December and sucked…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Mushroom Wars 2 is a delight. Designed around accessibility and simplicity, it is in principle a real-time strategy (RTS), but nothing like Starcraft or Command & Conquer, which people usually associate with the term.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. One of the most difficult genres to look at critically are those casual match-3 type games. There are just so many of them, and they rarely deviate from one another in any meaningful manner, that it becomes difficult to look at any individual match-3 release on…
Read MoreReview by Lindsay M. The Queen is dead. These words may send shivers down the spines of the Queen’s constituents, but for me it’s a sign of rebirth. Mostly because, let’s be real, if the Queen is dead then I did a terrible job of making her choices for her.…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Just released on PlayStation 4, 911 Operator is a simple, light strategy/ simulation game with one really awesome feature in particular.
