The Technomancer Review
Platforms: PC, Playstation 4 (reviewed), and Xbox One While there’s really no shortage of RPG’s being rolled out every year, a very specific type hasn’t really gotten much play in recent years. Games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire are so few and far between that I really can’t think […]
Murasaki Baby Review
Platform: PlayStation Vita How much influence should art and music have in the critique of a game where the gameplay fails to shine?

The Magic Circle: Gold Edition Review
Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Playstation 4 and Xbox One (reviewed) I’ve toyed with the idea of making my own game. Most of us that play video games always have some sense that we could do as much. I dabbled in RPG Maker back in 2001 on the Playstation and after a memory card corruption wiping […]

République Review
Platforms – iOS, Android, PC, Mac, and Playstation 4 (reviewed) What happens when an episodic game developed for mobile devices comes to a home console? République did just that.

Layers of Fear Review
Platforms: PC, Mac, Playstation 4 (reviewed), and Xbox One Horror games are a tough genre for me to approach. I honestly don’t like horror very much. I don’t like being scared.
