Hand of Fate
Hand of Fate is a card based roguelike, in which the player builds a collection of cards into a deck, which is then used to deal out the dungeon floors through which they adventure. Upon entering a combat, all of the cards the player has collected fly into their character's hands as fully modeled 3D assets, and combat begins.
Xbox Ultimate Game Sale for Feb 18th through 24th
While I love good deals for PC games I always love the times Xbox decides to do a massive sale and it’s once again time for yet again another awesome sale. As some of you may remember, Major Nelson announced not long ago about the Ultimate sale coming up (Feb. 18th-24th) with more details to follow. Honestly, I forgot about it since I was waiting for it to simply show on my Xbox Dashboard.
Terraria Review
For the past few weeks I’ve spent a lot of time with Terraria for the Xbox One. If you remember, the game first released on PC, and then came to Xbox 360 and PS3. Now that the Xbox One and PS4 have been out for a while, it was only a matter of time before Terraria made an appearance. Who wouldn’t enjoy a 2D inspired Minecraft like game, but with harder features and more creativity? Don...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed Unity Review
It’s autumn, so that means it’s time for at least one new Assassin’s Creed game, keeping alive a now six year streak started by Assassin’s Creed II in 2009. We get two main-franchise entries this year: Assassin’s Creed Rogue (360/PS3) which continues (concludes?) the American Colonial era story and includes a link to Assassin’s Creed Unity (XBO/PS4/PC), which ki...[Read More]
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Cinematic Premiere
October 24. Write it down. Tell your friends. Mark the calendar. Take time off work. CD Projekt RED will unveil the opening cinematic for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at the Golden Joystick Awards Ceremony at 15:45 BST. And if you’ve see their previous trailer reveals, you know this is going to be something special. Can’t make the show? No worry – The Trail Opening Cinematic will be ...[Read More]
IndieCade 2014: Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions
Geometry Wars has had an interesting path. Born from Bizarre Creations, it started life as a mini-game in Project Gotham Racing 2, and was eventually released as its own in the form of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. Its success led to ports and spin-offs before an eventual sequel: Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2. After the dissolution of Bizarre Creations, many of the now defunct’s staff creat...[Read More]

They’re at Booth #1604 with gameplay demos, special signings and limited edition goodies.

KickBeat: Special Edition Review
One of my favorite Nintendo DS games was a little gem called Elite Beat Agents. It was a great premise, actually. You were an Elite Beat Agent, a secret agent that traveled the world helping those in need…by having rhythm. All you had to do was press the appropriate area on the screen at the appropriate time, dictated by the rhythm of the level’s song, and you would succeed. Simple, bu...[Read More]
CastleStorm: Definitive Edition Review
I never played the original release of CastleStorm last year, so I can’t comment much on any potential differences between it and its recently released Definitive Edition, for Xbox One and PS4. The basic facts are that the Definitive Edition includes the game (of course) and both of the original DLC packs (From Outcast to Savior and The Warrior Queen), as well as graphical updates with a 108...[Read More]
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor Review
In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie, a Ranger and a Wraith set out on a path of vengeance against the Black Hand, a lieutenant of the Dark Lord Sauron. The Ranger, Talion, was killed by the Black Hand after watching his wife and son sacrificed before him as part of a dark ritual. The Wraith, whose identity will be discussed later in the review (I’d say “spoiler alert,” b...[Read More]
The Golf Club Review
Here’s what I know about golf. In the sixth grade, our PE class had a golf segment that lasted about a week. I sucked. I’m pretty good at mini-golf. I think Happy Gilmore is a reasonably accurate depiction of professional golf. Now that I’ve established my credentials, let’s dive into this (short) review of HB Studios’ new golf simulator, The Golf Club. I can’t ...[Read More]
E3 2014: Crackdown Revealed for Xbox One
Crawkdown series is alive and well with announcement of Crackdown 3 during the Xbox briefing. It has been while since we’ve heard anything about the franchise and now is the time to revisit the city and take it back.
