Spider-Man 2: The Game
Friday, January 25, 2019
The dumb, cheap and mishandled sequel. Typically, shovelware is a cheap port over of a console game that, while roughly the same as the console version, takes no advantage of the extra options or abilities offered on the PC. Gamers have put up with mediocre ports for some time, and Activision isn’t exempt from this […]

Resurrection
Saturday, January 19, 2019
Of foreign import, Resurrection is an effort to emulate many fighting action-adventures such as Severance or Rune. Unfortunately, there’s a reason you might have heard about Severence and Rune but not Resurrection. It has all of the half-assed mistakes and poor design common with games created by ambitious but amateur upstarts. It’s half adventure and […]

Ark of Time
Friday, January 18, 2019
There have been a great many adventure games based on ancient civilizations. Timelapse, Atlantis: The Lost Tales, SPQR and Riddle of the Sphinx: An Egyptian Adventure were some. Ark of Time follows the same path, but it’s a third-person point and click game and not a pseudo-3D Myst clone. You play as journalist Richard, who […]

Spider-Man
Saturday, January 12, 2019

It’s up to Spider-Man to make the city of New York […]

Evil Twin: Cyprien’s Chronicles
Thursday, January 10, 2019
A surreal and strange platformer. For a long time we’ve known Ubisoft for their platforming games, especially their much loved Rayman series. New to the scene is Evil Twin, a new style of action adventure with an edgy, nightmarish twist, not very dissimilar to American McGee’s Alice (take a childlike fairy-tale and throw it into […]

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Friday, January 4, 2019
When Hell freezes over. If you’ve never played Silent Hill: Shattered Memories then you’re definitely in luck. Technically not a PC game, this story-heavy psychological horror can be easily played on your computer using emulators. It’s initially a clunky experience if you don’t own a gamepad, but oh is it so worth it once you […]

The second Blair Witch game is very similar to the first one. Blair Witch Volume 2: The Legend of Coffin Rock is the middle title in a trilogy based on The Blair Witch Project mythology. Developed by Human Head Studios and using the old Nocturne engine, it has the same look and feel as Terminal […]

Sunday, December 23, 2018
Goblins 3 is the third game of the Goblins (aka Gobliiins/Gobliins) series of adventure/puzzle games set in a cartoony universe.
