Might & Magic Heroes VI – Review (PC)
Turn based strategy games are the primary reason that I became a PC gamer in the early 90′s. I spent entire summers cutting my teeth on games franchises such as Civilization, Master of Orion and Heroes of Might and Magic, so it pleases me to no end, that turn based strategy games can still exist [...]
X-Men: Destiny – Review (XBox 360)
X-Men: Destiny is a game of tremendous unrealized potential. If you’re an X-Men fan you’ve probably wondered at some time in your life what you would do if you suddenly developed mutant powers and were thus caught in the conflict between homo sapiens and homo superior.
Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken – Review (PSN)
Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is a rare bird: a spirited, modern actualization of the cinematic platformer sub-genre popularized in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s by games like Prince of Persia, Flashback, and Another World.

I was a bit apprehensive about reviewing this game, because i had never played a dating and life sim before, or so I thought. Once I dove into this charming indie title, I came to realize that it was similar in a way to a few of my favorite games from the past.
Trenched – Review (XBLA)
Following on the heels of Costume Quest and Stacking, Trenched is the latest downloadable game from Double Fine Studios in less than a year. You would think that those games would be a tough act to follow
Cargo: The Quest for Gravity (PC) – Review
When I was gifted this game on Steam I automatically knew something was up. People only ever gift me steam things because they’re either really good, or terribly, horribly bad. Cargo: The Quest for Gravity is neither of these things. This game transcends all levels of ratings and creates a scale all of its own.
Demolition Dash (iPad) – Review
Have you ever found yourself playing yet another one-button platformer, wishing it featured destruction? the ability to traverse exotic locales? Or maybe the opportunity to play as an adorable monster?
