Dwarf Fortress Comes To Steam!
It’s on its way. The grand-daddy of all open-world builders is finally on its way to Steam. Some say that it was the primary inspiration for games like Minecraft, RimWorld, and Prison Architect, and that if you listen carefully, you can hear someone shouting “No one tosses a dwarf!” if you try to click and drag one of the dwarven sprites. All we know is that it’s called Dwa...[Read More]
Hyper Jam Review
Often there are movies or video games that take on the cyberpunk aesthetic. Hyper Jam is one of those games and does so in an enjoyable and flashy manner. A free-for-all arena combat game, Hyper Jam packs excitement of finishing off foes with flashy weapons such as rocket and grenade launchers, a giant hammer, and a personal favorite of mine, a bow and arrow, while setting the arenas in visually c...[Read More]

Praey for the Gods Gets Early Access Trailer, On Steam January 31st
Shadow of the Colossus is one of my all time greatest games out there. It may not be the top in reviews, it may not be for everyone, but to me, it is one of those games that hits me the hardest emotionally. The size of the world, the size of the creatures, the amazing soundtrack, the grim love story. I played it first back on the Playstation 2, then when I got my first Playstation 4, I played it o...[Read More]
