Resident Evil Revelations 2 is an action-adventure game that tries to rekindle the old, and dying, Resident Evil game series. Capcom knows that it must bring something new to the series, or fans will stick to their older stuff, or pick other IPs that are scary as hell. Their Resident Evil Revelations 2 Raid Mode is a testament to the fact that they have been listening to the community uproar. Raid Mode is hella-hard, more so if you want to … [Read more...]

The Best Horror Games on PC
Every once in a while we crave a game that scares the living innocence out of us. There are so many horrible little survival horror games, and searching for the perfect scare ends up to be a bore. I've played my fair share of horror games on PC. Some of them kept me awake for countless nights, while others just made me laugh in their face - their computer-generated face! Be warned. I'm not responsible for any wet beds, lives scarred or paranoia … [Read more...]
Tembo The Badass Elephant Review – It’s Sonic, but Fatter
Tembo The Badass Elephant encompasses everything that Sonic ever did, and it makes it better, and more enjoyable. I'm glad to announce that Tembo is indeed a badass Lucanian cow. No, he doesn't have Godly super-powers, and no, he doesn't have a sweet sense of humor a la Deadpool. Instead, Tembo revels in being super-fast, and with a thirst to cleanse his city of baddies. But not your ordinary wrongdoers. No, sir. Those highly-trained, slightly … [Read more...]
Virtual Reality Games That You Might Not Have Heard Of
Sony's Project Morpheus, Facebook-owned Oculus Rift, Microsoft's HoloLens, and let's not forget Steam, and their alliance with HTC, are the key players in the industry, so far. When the trend exploded a couple of years ago, virtual reality games were at their beginnings, but thanks to VR headset manufacturers - which have pumped, are pumping, and will keep pumping money in the indie industry, VR games are also starting to make a stance. We all … [Read more...]
Rocket League Review – Soccar Made Fun!
When I first found out that Rocket League just hit stores, and most importantly, that it's available on Steam, I quickly logged into my account and bought it without even flinching. Why would I do a stupid thing like that? You might ask. Well, because I've been waiting for this soccar game - pun intended - since I first found out about it this January. It's the sequel to the 2008 SARPBC - Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars - which … [Read more...]
Her Story Review – Stranded Deep in a Police Archive
Her Story may seem like a cheap puzzle game trying to be deep, but here's the catch - it's dark, and sad, and eerie, and everything that goes wrong in the world. I was flabbergasted when I found out that Sam Barlow, the brilliant mind in charge of Aisle, and most importantly, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, was about to release a new game. My little brain couldn't comprehend on what journey Sam was about to take me. Unfortunately for my mental … [Read more...]
What Satoru Iwata Meant to Nintedo and the Gamer Industry
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo CEO who took the reins of the company in 2002, died this past Saturday (July 11th 2015). Iwata passed after a long battle with cancer. He will be missed. Satoru Iwata wasn't just your average business-man. He was a gamer at heart. Unlike his predecessor, Hiroshi Yamauchi, Iwata actually played the games his company made. Why wouldn't he? In 1980 he was an aspiring game developer, and somehow, fortunately for us, he fell in … [Read more...]
Overview of Batman Arkham Game Series
The Batman Arkham Series has come to and end with Batman Arkham Knight - the last game to conclude the Arkham trilogy. Even though, trilogy is wrongly used - there are four games in the series. Batman Arkham Asylum Batman Arkham City Batman Arkham Origins Batman Arkham Knight *In order of release dates. As you might know already, the Batman Arkham Knight PC port was poorly made, and Steam, along with others like GoG, and … [Read more...]
Batman Arkham Knight – Being a Billionaire is a Super-Power!
The latest title in the Batman Arkham Trilogy disappoints from the get-go - talking about the PC port, which should've been delayed until issues were fixed. Batman Arkham Knight, which pins our beloved caped crusader against iconic villains, has one more foe to deal with - the relentless 30-fps enemy. Warner Bros. - the studio in charge with publishing, and basically those who call the shots, knew of the issues plaguing the PC port before … [Read more...]
Dark Souls 2 Review
This masterpiece was released back on April 25th, 2014. Along with the Witcher 3, it is still one of this year's the most played RPGs. That's because it is so hard that most people still haven't finished it yet. Alternatively, it's so good some people feel the need to play it over and over again. I think it's the latter. At least, that was the case for me. The first Dark Souls released in 2011 initially on consoles and later on PC (by popular … [Read more...]
