Spooky Month 3: Return of the Niche!
It’s finally that time of the year again. The time to chip away at that backlog of horror games as Spooky Month is upon us! Or perhaps just add to that backlog as, just like last year, I’m about to recommend three horror games I think everyone should check out. Unlike last year however, these…

The Mess of Frank Stone
I’ve talked in the past on both the podcast and in blog posts that I really enjoy the game Dead by Daylight! It’s one of, if not the only, live service game that I continue to come back to, even if I take long breaks between playing here and there. It’s a fun game that…

The Simply Charming Fun of Crow Country
I’ve said this in the past but sometimes games do not need to be innovative to be good. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time you make a car. Sometimes just sticking to what works and doing a really good job at that is more than enough to catch someone’s eye and that’s…

SIGNALIS: Surpassing your Inspirations
It’s kind of crazy to think about how many once great and massive franchises are now dead in the water, seemingly forgotten by those that hold the rights to them. Series like Mega Man, F-Zero, Kid Icarus, Star Fox, Punch-Out, Dino Crisis, Darkstalkers, Killer Instinct, Banjo-Kazooie, and like everything made by Konami. Lots and lots…

Alan Wake: A Light in the Dark
When looking back on the history of horror games, I feel like one generation is often over looked and not because it was an underrated era or anything, but because it was easily the darkest time for the genre. And not even in a spooky scary way either! I’m talking about the 360/PS3 generation which…
