Sanctum 2 Review
The original Sanctum was a gem that stood out from the rest of tower defense games on the PC and Mac in 2011. It blended the hectic action of first-person shooters with the strategic placement and upgrades of the tower defense genre. While it was a great game that certainly felt unique, it suffered from [...]
Luminesca Preview
Tranquility and simplicity aren’t typically things we expect from video games these days. Yet, they’re exactly what Luminesca offers. There’s no list of objectives, no overblown story or annoying characters. Just your little amphibious avatar traversing through the deep blue waters, exploring the depths and feeling immersed in the beautiful atmosphere it provides. Luminesca is in [...]
Guide to Responsable Steam Shopping
Steam is at the forefront of online videogame distribution and is irrefutably the best due to its ease of use, great pricing, crazy offers, even crazier sale periods and free weekend trials, but it can be the demise of your disposable income. Over the last year I have purchased somewhere between 80 and 90 games [...]
Fifth Set of Steam Greenlight Titles Greenlit
I’m still not sure how I feel about Steam’s Greenlight feature. Sure, it allows games to get some added exposure when they could otherwise be overlooked completely, but I’ve seen some garbage games nearing Greenlit status and that worries me. At least the fifth set of announced Greenlit titles aren’t horrible games. In fact, one of [...]
Win Free Games with Steam Gifts
If you have been gaming since 2003 then you’ll probably associate the word “Steam” with a digital distribution platform instead of the vapor form of water molecules. Lots of people (myself included) like the way that Steam works and the way things are tied to your account and not just your machine. With that being [...]
Anodyne Review
Indie games can get pretty surreal and Anodyne is no different. This Zelda-inspired action-RPG is a crazy trip through the dream realm of a boy named Young and… hoo boy, there’s a lot of weird, impactful shit in the game’s 6-9 hour playtime. Players control Young on his quest to save the “Village Elder,” Briar, [...]
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two Review
I was one of the few people who actually loved the original Epic Mickey when it came out on the Wii, so I was incredibly excited when Junction Point announced that they would be making Epic Mickey 2. Another adventure is Wasteland was begging to happen. Whether or not you liked Epic Mickey’s gameplay, it’s [...]

Little Inferno Review
I love indie games created by small teams doing the impossible, pushing limits and impressing even the most hateful critics. The gaming industry needs more people like that, with imaginative minds that know how to create works of art in playable form on a scale grander than any multi-billon dollar company could ever dream of [...]
