This week several of us played review copies of Lost Sea, a game that launched yesterday on XBox One and launches on July 5th on PS4 and PC. We have decided to come together and write a collaborative review that allows us to discuss our thoughts about the game more comprehensively*. […]
It’s easy to condemn the characters in horror movies. After all, they make bad decisions: they split up and go their separate ways, they let personal conflicts get in the way of their better judgment and they put themselves in compromising situations, amongst a number of other things. With the […]

As I’ve mentioned on this blog before, horror is one of my favorite genres when it’s done right. Good horror games blend amazing atmosphere, intriguing narratives, and clever game mechanics to create experiences that evoke engagement and emotion. I’ve been burned by horror games recently, but Darkest Dungeon reminds me […]

If you listen to the podcast you have heard me say that I played the Dead Space 3 demo this past week and that instead of telling you about it, I wanted you to just go out and play it. Hopefully by now you’ve had some time to either play […]
