Space Crew (PC) Review

An exceptionally wise man once said, “[The] only question I ever thought was hard was, ‘do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?’”. That exceptionally wise man is, of course, none other than “Weird Al” Yankovic. Specifically, the quote in question…

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (PC) Review

After having a rough experience with Max Payne 1 on Steam due to a shoddy port, I entered Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne with tempered expectations. I was still interested in the series, as the story has drawn critical…

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (PC) – Review

“Clang Clang Clang went the trolley, Clang Clang Clang went the Kojima line…” Doesn’t really work, now does it? It would also be weird if Ralph Blane knew about a Japanese game developer not born for another 19-years, who wouldn’t become famous…

Serious Sam 4 (PC) Review

As a connoisseur of the FPS genre, I welcome all variations of the genre, but still enjoy ones that are basic to the core. Whether it’s the looting frenzy that is Borderlands, the rhythm spin of BPM: Bullets Per Minute, or the…

Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time (PC) Review

Full disclosure: I completely forgot Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time released until release week when ads started showing up in my social media feeds. It was hard to gauge just what kind of game it would be based on the cinematic footage in these…

Ary and the Secret of Seasons (PC) Review

Last month, I had the opportunity to play through the preview of eXiin’s RPG-esque puzzle platformer, Ary and the Secret of Seasons. Having now played through the full game, some parts of my initial experience have very much held up. At the…

Marvel’s Avengers (PC) Review

Editor’s Note: The developers have released a patch for Marvel’s Avengers and are working to fix bugs and crashes. See the patch notes here. After a delay and quite a lot of hype, we can finally play Marvel’s Avengers. I love character-action titles,…
